How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Sanford Veterinary Hospital

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.

It’s sad to see the bad reviews on here, especially since my experience in this clinic was so pleasant.. despite the circumstance. I brought my munchkin cat, Beans, in because he was lethargic and had blood in his pee. We had just rescued him months prior from someone who said “don’t use the clumping litter he will get a UTI because his privates are so low to the ground” a munchkin cat has very short legs, and a normal sized body so to me that sounded completely normal and believable with the litter, but 2 weeks in he had a UTI, so we bought over the counter drops and treated at home and he seemed fine. We noticed he frequently had pee issues, avoided his box, peed on rugs and furniture so we contained him to our VERY LARGE 300 sqft sun room until we broke the poor potty habits. We even had him fixed to eliminate all possible issues. He was new and we didn’t know if this was him being picky, upset about a new home, or marking his territory. I mean we really tried and assumed we were doing good I mean we got the litter right… 3 months later we awoke to what looked like a horror scene, blood everywhere. ANY PET OWNERS WORST NIGHTMARE. I rushed him to this vet and he was on the brink of death, I was just heart broken.. His bladder was full because he had another UTI. This doctor saved his life! Our cat has no issue with clumping litter, he has a food allergy and needs medicated food. Now I stop by every 3 months and pick up a 25 pound bag of his prescription food and my sweet boy hasn’t peed ANYWHERE but his litter box, hasn’t had a single UTI since that happened. This Vet is educated, compassionate and the front office staff are a breath of fresh air. I was a first time cat owner then.. given poor and inaccurate information from a prior owner, now I’m educated enough to see those signs and care for my cat because of this office!!

I found the staff and the Doctor was funny and very helpful with my Molly. It is so good to know that they are close. I will be doing business with this veterinarian for a long time. Also let me say that you won't feel better than when you see what they charge. Totally affordable for anyone, really!!

I'm so blessed to have found this veterinarian. The office is far from me but I don't mind driving to get my dog and cat the best medical treatment. Always answer the phone in operation hours and don't rush you. It feels like a family place for your pets. Caring staff and very honest. Dr. Alexander saved my GSD life.

When I was growing up my dog had heart worms. Dr freyman was the only vet we could afford. They saved my dogs life! Now 20 years later I bring our dogs we have now to him for everything! We love kinda far away but I trust Dr. Freyman to be honest & give my dogs the best care! We also love Lori at the front!! She is so sweet & personable! 10/10 recommend bringing your animals here!
