How to Save on Veterinary Costs at All-Pets 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.

For the past 10 years I’ve had a hard time finding a vet that my animals could go to and be comfortable and fear free as possible for each one of them. It means so much to me that they respect that. I first took one of my cats to be seen here and then I brought my dog ( who strongly dislikes the vet ) in for an ulcer on his eye. I am so impressed and pleased with both experiences and I will be taking all 4 of my fur babies here for now on. Thank you!

I've been coming here since 2020 with my Husky. I feel like the vets and techs take their time to get to know each pet and try to be extremely thorough in their assessments. The only complaint I have is costs. The visits here are twice as much as what they cost at home in Virginia--for the same work-up. Also, the meds and supplements are significantly higher than buying from Chewy, Amazon, etc. I picked up some liver detox supplements for my dog because some of his values were slightly increased from the previous year. I paid $137 at the office while the same supplements were listed for $70 online. I understand a slight upcharge but this is difficult to dismiss. I still highly recommend them for veterinary care. I will just buy Meeko's meds online from now on.

We used to take our pets to All Pets back in the 1970's when I was a kid, whole different staff and doctor now, but still very good!! You can tell the doctors and staff love the pets that come in for treatment and check ups. They all seem to have multiple of their own. They give you options and do not push things on you. We have 4 in our furry family (2 cats and 2 dogs) so we will be having them treat our family from now on. Thank you for being kind and compassionate.

Excellent service. Forever and ever grateful. 03/18 I wanted to updated my review by saying that I couldn't be more grateful of All pets hospital, Dr Malloy and Dr Berge. I took my dogs for checkup and a 10 day boarding and when I picked them up I saw them being so happy with the entire staff. My dogs are chill... They are not the playful dogs as one is a senior and he just wants to sleep. They are very shy. I saw my two dogs really excited and happy with them, Wagging tails, Kisses, all the deal. It clicked that this is the place my dogs feel very comfortable and get a 5 star hotel (boarding) service. Thank you Dr Berge, Dr Malloy and staff for taking care of my babies!! You guys were so kind and professional every time we talk.
