How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Animal Dermatology South

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.

Grateful for Dr. Mike Canfield’s exceptional veterinary care! I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible skills and experience of Dr. Canfield. Just in the past 6 months, he has successfully removed two mast cell tumors from my 13-year old fur baby. I’m so thankful for his communication, treatment plan AND the outcome. I am delighted to share that both histopathology results came back with low grades and clean margins. This outcome speaks volumes about Dr. Canfield's surgical precision and commitment to his patients' well-being. As a pet owner and working in vet med, I can’t express the importance of regular monitoring and open communication with your veterinarian enough. Our furry friends rely on us to watch for any changes in their health, and early detection can make a world of difference. I hope my experience with Dr. Canfield serves as a reminder to all pet owners out there. Trust your family veterinarian, stay vigilant, and together, we can ensure our pets lead happy and healthy lives! 🐾❤️

So happy to have found Animal Dermatology South at Animal Hospital of Regency Park! Dr. Canfield, Rebecca & the entire staff are always so pleasant and truly the best of the best! Dr. Canfield was able to diagnose a mass on my dog when several other veterinarians could not. So very thankful for this specialty veterinary office 🐾

My dog Ellen is doing great with her treatment. I've had her for 2 years and her skin is doing so well she is getting fuzzy all over and in places she's never been fuzzy like her ears and feet. As a veterinary technician myself I especially appreciate their patience and kindness with Ellen who isn't the bravest little dog thanks to her history of living with a hoarder. Overall we would both recommend their services. All employees were super nice, friendly, and helpful as well.

We brought our pug in to treat a skin condition. Dr Sampeck found a lump we had missed, checked cytology and diagnosed a mast cell tumor, all in the same day. Thanks to her care and thoroughness, she caught our pug’s MCT cancer early. The staff is kind, efficient. As with all good vets, it can be difficult to get appts, but worth it. Thank you ADS ❤️

I haven’t even stepped foot into this practice yet and I can already tell you I’m impressed with the telephone communication alone. Kimberly on a busy Saturday took time out of her morning without being asked, put my mind at ease and gave me advise that was much needed. I can’t stress enough how kind, professional, and knowledgeable she was. Intelligence and trust starts at the front desk and in 1st impressions and whether she is normally answering phones or not, I can tell she is knowledgeable and that my pets will have phenomenal care at this establishment. I would strongly recommend going here. Hopefully Athena & I have the honor of meeting her in person when I go in for my appointment. Thank you!!!
