How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Animal House Veterinary Services
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 Kelly and Teri go out of their way to care for our dogs and cats. Marley was badly injured in a badger fight that ripped a foot long tear in his side. A predatory animal ER clinic in Omaha charged us >$3K to clean him up, keep him overnight and then stitch up the wound. They did such a poor job (running stitch instead of individual sutures, staples with nothing to prevent him from pulling them out) the wound pulled apart and putrefied within 2 days. Dr Kelly is an excellent surgeon and despite having almost nothing to sew together, he was able to fix the wound, saving Marley, and he did it at about 20% of the cost of the Omaha ER's incompetence. His pricing is extremely reasonable and he cares deeply about the animals. He will not recommend something that is expensive and futile just to make a buck. Our old cat was going through kidney failure and he sold me the fluids to treat her every week w/o office visits, which she absolutely hated. Told us maybe 6 months and she lived 4 years. When it was her time, he came to our house to put her down so she wouldn't be traumatized by the office visit. The only negative is that he isn't open Sun-Tues now as he has reduced his hours. I will be extremely sad when he retires. Top notch small animal veterinarian. Cannot say enough good things about Animal House.

I can't say enough nice things about Kelly the vet and Terri his assistant. They are wonderful with the animals and the humans too. Their prices are fair and probably not high enough to match the great care our animals are given.

We’ve been trying for like 15 years to develop a relationship with a vet office that actually cared. originally out of geographical considerations landed at the animal house and dumped our previous vet/s immediately. My only other visit had been from a previous emergency from like 5 years prior when I was visiting from out of town and they inquired into that puppo’s well being, I know it was from the database but it was so sweet. Dr took time to really prepare us for behavior issues in our new pup by breed and he was so spot on it was scary. I learn something every time I visit. We’ve been to a lot of vets on our search but I feel like we’ve found our “forever home”!!
