How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Toledo Blade Animal Clinic

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

Very rude staff and they don't like if you ask ANY questions; they just want you to say yes for everything as they ring up a $1000+ bill. We wanted to get a second opinion from another vet so we requested they transfer our records so they could have all the information needed to do so and the next time we requested to pick up prescription dog food we were told we are no longer welcomed back. I'm they get plenty of business and could care less if they lose a couple clients here and there but like most vets down here they are money hungry and play on peoples emotions. RESPONSE: we have spent over $500 in lab work just this year and paid for prescription dog food and quoted $1500 for dental work and then told we can not use the same lab work and they would have to re run all of it. That is not budget friendly. Plus you guys have vet techs call and the message gets relayed wrong instead of having the vet take time out of there day to call and make sure it’s correct. We will make sure Chloe gets the care she needs but it will not be with you and clearly y’all don’t even know her anyway after 3 years nor correctly keep track of what we have spent. PS: whenever we asked questions we got nothing but attitude like it was an inconvenience and shut down. Hopefully other people take there business elsewhere because that’s the only way your practice will change.

We've been taking our dogs here for 8 years and the staff is friendly and very helpful. Dr. Minnick is very knowledgeable and cures, and remedies any issues we have with our 4 dogs. It's a great place to take your pets!

I had used this veterinary service for years. After Dr Minnich's very rude response when I asked what he had treated my cat for, I requested any future visits with his assistant at that time. Wouldn't you think that I wouldn't have to ask what he treated my cat for? Unfortunately, that thought did not occur to me until after I left the office. When his assistant failed to show up 40 minutes after my 9 AM scheduled follow-up appointment, i left. I was not advised about any delay, I was just left to wait in my little room. I recently discovered that I owed a $35 fee for this no show. I have never received a statement and this happened almost a year ago. I will make this payment under duress to protect my excellent credit rating. This is my response to a charge of $35. I hope the money was well spent.

I can always count on Toledo Blade clinic to work us in, make a correct diagnosis and prescribe correct treatment . Staff is always friendly and the Drs are great! We knew Dr Minnich ever since he opened his practice and stayed with him for 13+ years.

I was referred to this Vet by a dear friend. I am so happy with Toledo Blade Animal Clinic, WOW ! The most caring Loving Staff I ever have had in my entire life. My animals are completely spoiled to the core, Yet the staff at this place spoils them even further, They care for your pet as if they owned it. Always follow up phone calls after your visit to check up on your animal, the Vet, I've forgotten her name Yet she is simply amazing, very confident, always offers solutions and her personal advice, instead of going after your wallet because they actually care about you as a customer and greatly care for your animals. I personally THANK YOU to the entire staff at Toledo Blade Animal Clinic, You guys are the BEST
