How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Jacksonville Veterinary Surgery and Orthopedics
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance

Dr Neihaus saved Juliet’s leg. We got Juliet as a foster dog, she came with a broken leg that se thought that the only possible outcome was for her to loose that leg, but somehow Dr Neihaus fixed it! I remember when he called me after the surgery, I was sure that he was going to say that the leg was so damaged that he had to amputate, but instead he told me that the surgery was complicated but that it went great. Juliet has 4 legs thanks to Dr Neihaus. I can’t thank him and his team for the amazing care they took of Juliet. Here is a video of the first time that we saw Juliet walking on her 4 paws. ❤️❤️ and pictures of the before and after XRays.

I cannot say enough positive things about this practice! Dr Neihaus & his team are the most kind, caring, compassionate and skilled professionals in town. My cat was going to have knee surgery but ended up needing an amputation. They walked me through the process and recovery with ease. Otisserie Chicken is now feeling like himself again. I definitely recommend this practice for all pet parents in Jacksonville!

Dr Neihaus and team provide excellent service. My 2year old French Bulldog needed BOAS surgery. It was easy to schedule an assessment, review the options in great detail, and get my pet on the schedule asap. I received a personal call from Dr Neihaus upon completion on surgery day with a full update how the procedure went and what was done. Our dog healed in record time. I was quite worried what recovery would look like. All questions were answered with confidence. I believe the expert skills and medications given played a big part in his recovery. I can’t thank the team enough to help our boy literally BREATHE easier to extend his quality of life and overall expectancy. We can’t thank you all enough.

I’m truly grateful to have discovered this outstanding veterinary surgery facility here in Jacksonville. Recommended by two other trusted vets, I visited for a diagnostic procedure with Dr. Neihaus for my dog, Bella. Although the diagnosis was difficult, the entire staff displayed remarkable compassion, care, and professionalism throughout the process. The facility itself is beautifully decorated, creating a comforting atmosphere, and is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic technology. I feel fortunate to have found such a top-tier veterinary office and will not hesitate to return should my other dogs need care in the future. Highly recommended!

DR. NEIHAUS helped us with a Christmas Miracle. After a week of what seemed like hospice care for our one year old Doberman….Things looked hopeless. Our regular vet (also an angel) discovered something on ultrasound. He made the call to Dr.Neihaus. They told my vet they’d see us right away and to head on over. My husband and I were very conflicted as we told ourselves we would NEVER do surgery again on this dog. Yet the situation, the expertise offered & our hearts couldn’t say no. Looking back I am so glad our hearts made the decision. Dr.Neihaus made a discovery that explained not only the emergency at hand…Yet the year of discomfort my dog has gone through. I have no doubt in my mind he did his best to correct the mess he found in there. We are all very hopeful she will be able to live a normal life after this. If we run into anymore issues we also know there is a plan in place. I wish her first surgery wasn’t so detrimental and we saw someone like Dr.Neihaus. It truly does make a difference who works on your dog during surgery. We learned the hard way. Thankfully the compassionate team at Jacksonville Veterinary Surgery and Orthopedics gave us hope for a new chapter for our ONE year old Doberman. Truly so sad most of her life was in pain 😭. Halo is doing great after surgery. She ate happily the night of surgery and continues to do so. Incision incredibly tidy and clean. I cannot thank this angel and his team enough. Truly from the bottom of my heart thank you! ♥️🙏😭 (Photo is her on day 2 of recovery. She’s a gift) lol
