How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Veterinary Emergency 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

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.

I brought my dog in on Saturday afternoon with wounds received from another dog's bite. The clinic was busy but tried to accommodate all of their patients and their owners. The staff was professional and courteous. Veterinarian explained everything that she was doing. The overall visit was not too long. It seemed pricey for the care but I honestly do not know the emergency vet market. overall very satisfied with the Emergency Vet Clinic

I was blessed with my sweet precious Baylei May from day she was born and for the past 12 yrs 7 months she was my best friend, my side kick and #1 in my life every single day. On June 28, 2025 my whole world turned upside down when I had to rush her to the emergency vet and say my final goodbye to my baby girl. From the moment I stepped in the doors of this office with my Baylei May in my arms the entire staff was right there to help my baby. They were also SOOO compassionate, understanding, professional, patient & caring to me the entire time. Although I had to make the HARDEST decision of my life and leave without my baby girl that night…I am & always will be FOREVER thankful for the Dr., her assistant & the rest of the staff at this facility for everything they did for my Baylei May & myself! Y’all are amazing! Love Always, Miss Baylei May’s Mama (Whitney)

Labor Day weekend. Are Australian Shepherd went into epileptic seizures, We were completely new to this never had experienced this with her before. I called Saturday morning at 8 am they told me bring her right in. I carried her from bed to my car and drove her there instantly, walked inside told them, I just called about my Australian Shepherd having a seizure, They asked if she still seizing, (YES). these girls (2) dropped everything and ran to grab her from my vehicle. Took her from my hands and got her to treatment instantly. After Many tests, being watched over for 24 hours, and a ton of care from the staff. We’re heading down the correct road 4 days later and we saw her normal veterinarian this week too who said wow she’s doing great today after what she went through this past weekend. I CAN’T thank this staff enough for saving our little girl who was lifeless when she got carried into the hospital. Sassy is on her way to a full recovery and being taken care of very well today. Thank you ALL VEC DR’S and staff who dropped everything for our girl. Sincerely Michael & Nicole Sobrower

I would highly recommend this vet clinic. We had an emergency situation last Friday evening with our dog, Mimzy (15 years old) related to health problems she had been experiencing for several months. Sadly, we never came home with Mimzy that evening. Despite this unplanned visit, Dr Annie and all the staff there that evening were very warm, compassionate, comforting, and accommodating. It was a very peaceful experience, and we know in our hearts we made the right decision to let Mimzy go. We even received a hand-written card by mail with a copy of Mimzy's paw prints to remember her by... so very thoughtful. Thank you. RIP Mimzy, you will always be remembered and forever in our hearts.

Took my wee little man in this morning and knew he wouldn’t be coming. It was a heartbreaking time because he had been my constant companion for 18 years. The staff was extremely caring and compassionate during our time there and in the handling of my little guy. There was no rushing just caring. Highly recommend.
