How to Save on Veterinary Costs at The People's Pets
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 had attentive, quality care at People's Pet for 10 years. Erin was great about scheduling me and my new furry friend, letting me know of cancelations and fitting us in, and asking lots of questions to ensure we received the right care. Dr Lavelle has always been great provider.

INCREDIBLE vet and office! Every encounter has been pleasant--the staff is so kind and friendly! My two boys are always well taken care of. Dr. Kat is extremely caring and knowledgeable. You can tell that keeping your pets healthy and safe is the priority, not getting all your money! THANK YOU, People's Pets for truly loving animals!!

We’ve been bringing our cat here for vet care for 6 years and absolutely recommend! The groomer is awesome too and love that they have boarding services as well.

I have three yellow Labs of which I am very protective. I have had them to a few vets around Tucker and Decatur, but never felt quite right. They either want to sell me something or don't do a thorough exam, or the office is usually in disarray. I had been to People's Pets a number of years ago with a sick dog on Labor Day. Dr. Lavell was there to take care of her. When I went back with the three new dogs it was like I never left. The office staff was pleasant, friendly and inviting. The vet tech was great! I felt very comfortable with my dogs there. Dr. Lavell talked with me about them then did a thorough exam. She found some things wrong that I was unaware of and prescribed some medication. I had one issue that I had seen another vet about. Dr. Lavell's was a more thorough exam and her vast experience gave her insight to the problem. I am now treating the dog with some medication that should help, but if it doesn't Dr. Lavell already has further treatment planned if necessary. I've had dogs for the last 45 years and have seen some very good vets come and go. I can say without trepidation that The People's Pets is the best vet for my current pack. I am so glad I am back there and I know my dogs are in good hands. UPDATE I'm reducing my stars to 3. I went back with a sick dog. I advised the office of what was happening and made an appointment. I get there and they give me a Rent-A-Vet who has never seen the dog and is unaware of the discussion Dr. Lavell and I had. The office did not advise me that I was going to see a Rent-A-Vet. If they had I would not have gone until Lavell was back from vacationing in St.Croix. My $1100 helped pay for that trip. I had to suggest to the Rent-A-Vet that maybe an anti-inflammatory would help the dogs inflammation. So I called back to get the heart worm prescriptions faxed to an outside pet pharmacy.for the dogs. "That's against protocol." was the response from the clerk at the desk. The following vets will fax: Dearborn DeKalb Tucker Whiteway The fact is they have their own pet pharmacy and want me to buy from them. The other vets have their own pharmacies but are professional enough to accept the customers request. The office operation is un-professional and incompetent.
