How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Cresco Veterinary Clinic

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

Be cautious if you are thinking about bringing your dog here to get a dental cleaning, they are to teeth-pulling-happy for me. We always took my dog to North Fayette Animal Clinic in West Union for teeth cleaning. The only time they every removed a tooth is when my dog cracked her tooth on an extra-hard treat, and they called us before they pulled the tooth. The one time we took her to the Cresco, IA clinic for a teeth cleaning, we came to pick her up at the end of the day and they told us they had to pull 6 teeth (no phone call or anything until after it was already done). It makes me wonder if they pull them rather than put a little extra effort into cleaning them. They also get to charge extra when they pull the teeth. I lost a lot of trust in this clinic. I will still bring my dog here, but only for routine shots that don’t require my dog to leave my sight. I will travel anywhere else before allowing the Harmony/Cresco clinic to clean my dogs teeth again.

Had a wonderful first visit to the clinic today. They were able to see me a couple hours after calling. Plus, they treated my dog and myself with kindness and care.
