How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Pearly Bites Veterinary
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
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

We’re so grateful to Dr. Livermore and the amazing team at Pearly Bites Veterinary for taking such excellent care of our sassy girl, Rosie, during her recent dental procedure. Rosie has a very strong personality and does not typically appreciate unsolicited attention — especially when it involves her mouth. But despite her fiery attitude, the staff treated her with incredible patience and compassion from start to finish. The care, communication, and professionalism throughout the process were exceptional. Rosie is now back to her sassy self, minus the dental pain she was probably pretending not to have. Her breath smells better, she’s eating without flinching, and her post-op swagger has fully returned. Would we do this again? Only when necessary — but we know she’s in expert hands. Rating: 5 out of 5 meows 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 Highly recommend Pearly Bites for anyone with a beloved (and opinionated) feline in need of dental care!

Our beautiful kitty, Proton Von Cookiepuss, had tooth resorption and our regular vet recommended Pearly Bites. Everything was great! Great communication throughout entire process (from initial consultation through follow-up appointment). Everyone was super friendly and informative and they took great care of our girl. Fantastic experience for a not-so-fantastic problem. Thank you!

When we discovered my Dylan was in need of some dental extractions, we chose to go to the experts, and so glad we did. I'm leary of anesthesia with my pets, and dental surgery is serious stuff! We were so pleased with the professionalism from the first phone call, to the consultation, lab followup, surgery, and aftercare. Explained everything very well, the team was kind and gentle with my boy, and he is likely a much happier camper now! 😻 I love that they don't do a high quantity of surgeries in a day, which means you are getting the best quality and care for your pet. The communication was amazing; kept you in the loop before, during the procedure, and follow-up once he was home 👍 My only wish is that Dr. Livermore could be our regular vet, too! 😂 Dylan says thank you for making my teethies all better! 😸

So glad I took my kitty to Pearly Bites to address her life threatening dental issues. I am so impressed with cleanliness, professionalism, and customer service. It’s been 2 weeks since this 1 year old kitty had full dental extractions, and she doesn’t seem to miss those problematic chompers at all! Doctor Livermore and the Pearly Bites team gave my cat a new lease on life.We are forever thankful, this sweet kitty deserved this.

My dog fractured a tooth. After consulting with a few vets, I made the right choice with Pearly Bites. Dr. Stephanie Livermore and her team were nice. They were able to timely and thoroughly examine my dog. Dr. L had all the x-rays printed when she was explaining her recommended procedure. Dr. L took the time and did not rush when answering all of my questions. The price of the procedure is on her website, so there were no surprises with the cost. Her team kept me updated before, during, and after my dog’s procedure. Dr. L and her team were available by phone, email, and in-person to address all of my post-op concerns. My dog is now back to normal - this is no surprise because their whole practice only does (and specializes in) dental procedures. With no exaggeration, I wish Dr. L could be my dog’s regular vet!
