How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Trail Animal 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.

Have been bringing my dog Blue for about 4 years. The staff is friendly and the doctors are very caring and knowledgeable. I moved to Kendall but still make the 30-40min drive for my dogs care there because I value and trust them. Thank you Dr Lista and staff!

DO NOT BRING YOUR PET HERE. Thanks to their negligence, my girlfriend lost her beloved cat. I had been bringing my own cat here for the basics as well but obviously will no longer. I recommended she bring hers here also, now I wish I didn't. I have also advised 3 other friends who I had recommended them to, to no longer bring their pets here. They misdiagnosed my girlfriend's cat, causing us to lose valuable time to save his life. He was dying from renal failure, which could have been easily diagnosed with a blood/urine test, which they supposedly performed, yet somehow completely missed the low kidney values and bacteria in his urine which the specialist we had to take him to afterwards easily detected. We wasted $1,900 for them to send us home with an expensive rx food because they assumed he wasn't eating due to an allergy. When we brought him back two weeks later they told us he was dying and needed to take him to a specialist. If you bring your pet here just know that you will be paying high on prices for unreliable work that might cost your pet it's life.

I’m so lucky to have Trail Animal Hospital for my pets. I have a cat, dog, and hamster, and they’re all patients there. The vets and the vet techs are so sweet and patient with my animals, even my littlest one, snowflake (hamster). They handled him with such care when he had his bladder stones. After giving him antibiotics he was back to his normal self. Duncan (dog) especially loves all the special treats he gets. Louie (cat) can be seen by the door getting entertained by the toy on the other side.

We had not been a regular patient, but had to go today with my little dog that had something seriously wrong. We were seen immediately and everyone was so kind and compassionate. As it turned out, she had to be put to sleep. Diagnosed with lymphatic cancer. It was the only choice to make with her condition. It would not improve. The vet, Dr. Gutierrez (I think) was so gentle with our Roo, and me and my daughter. They made it as gentle as possible to go through the euthanasia process. When I said I wanted to hold her head, the Dr asked if I would just like to hold her in my arms. I did, and my Roo passed quickly and softly. I would never hesitate to recommend the wonderful vet practice to anyone looking.

Today was a tough day for me as I had to put my dog of 15 years down. But Dr. Guevara and Dani (plus other members of the trail animal hospital team) made this experience so smooth for us. 5 of us went as we all wanted to say goodbye to our good girl and they accommodated us with their largest examination room. Also, they walked us thru all the steps and gave us all the time we needed. This is by far the best vet I have ever been to. They treat your animals like their own and genuinely care. Thank you all so much for making Zero’s last moments so memorable!
