How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Ali‘i 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.

Dr. Beth, Dr. Aaron, Dr. Maria All have saved my dog's life more than once. I can't say enough about them. I am sure there must be other doctors there that are fantastic also but these are the doctors that have helped us so much. The rest of the staff that works there is very kind and helpful. We trust them all with our baby's life.

Thank you Dr. Eve and Jessica for taking such wonderful care of Kiko and Chester today! Alicia Vet is the BEST in town! They've taken excellent care of our farm over the years!

This is NOT an emergency vet as claimed. We called their emergency number while rushing over due to our dog's life-threatening health emergency. The woman on the phone told us their vets had no open appointments (which are obviously not usually required for an animal experiencing a medical emergency at a facility that claims to provide emergency care day or night). She was also quite blunt and rude about it, which is particularly unnecessary when we were clearly in a lot of distress. It was another hour and a half to be seen by the next clinic. I ended up losing my sweet dog. I'm leaving this review to warn others who end up in a similar situation who could potentially lose precious time seeking emergency help for their animal.

Been using them almost 20 years. Kind doctors with empathy. If you can get in, do it. They are the best I know of, on the West side.

Alii vet is a first class veterinary clinic in Kona. 1. Professional staff! 2. Genuinely care for your beloved pets.! 3. Actually return phone calls ! I was called back on New years day from Dr.Aaron ! 4. This practice goes the distance to make you feel safe! And that the welfare of your pet is a priority! I typically don't write reviews, however I will make an exception on this occasion. They earned the five star review!!!
