How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Allied Veterinary Specialists
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.

They were able to see my cat the same day I called and her surgery was done the next day. They called me before and after surgery to keep me updated on everything. They did an amazing job! I hope we don't need emergency surgery again, but if we do, we're definitely coming here!!!

I took my Cocker Spaniel, Barry, in because he had been hit by a car. Although he was transferred from the ER side to the Orthopaedic side, Barry was ALWAYS in the best of hands. The professionals at Allied Veterinary Specialists (From the Vets, themselves - Dr. Aragon and Dr. McKenzie, to the vet nurses and vet techs, to the front reception people) always made a great (positive) fuss over Barry for the entire 5 months that he was under their care. Whenever I would say, "Let's go see Miss Vanessa/Miss Raven/Miss Ashley/etc.", Barry would get up and walk to the door. When we would get to the vet's office, Barry would easily go to the door, and always, ALWAYS was wagging his tail when we would go in. I had to have extra help because Barry wouldn't take his meds so I had to make extra trips so the various people at the office could give him the meds. They always made a game out of it with Barry and he was happy to play along. (Better them than me -- he would snap at me!) If you ever have a reason to need orthopaedic veterinarian help, or the veterinarian ER, I highly recommend Allied Veterinary Specialists. I could never give them enough kudos for the wonderful work they did with Barry. After 5 months, and 4 surgeries, Barry is absolutely perfect again! Thank-you to all of you!

Our sweet little 12 year old shitzu/Maltese just had a Total Ear Canal Ablation due to tumors in her ear. They actually remove the ear canal and sew the ear shut. Scary stuff. But I could not be more pleased. Dr. Aragon was fabulous. He made us feel so comfortable and explained the procedure step by step with pictures. Explained what to expect the day of surgery and post surgery. All of the techs, receptionist were awesome. So friendly and caring. They have now moved into a beautiful building with a lot more space and services. I would highly recommend this practice if your fur baby needs surgery.

Karma 1, cancer 0! Walking on three legs day after surgery. Jumped up onto the bed within a week. Here she is one moth after surgery running like she forgot about that other leg altogether. Thanks for the extra years we get with our girl!

Excellent and caring staff. We had to put our cat down after 16 years. Staff was exceptionally caring and compassionate. Very professional.
