How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Riverside Animal 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

We are not clients but had to call as our normal vet was out of town. My lab was dying and I needed to let him go. I wanted someone who would come out to our car. This way he would be comfortable and feel safe. I did not want to cause him more pain by trying to move him into a building. I wanted him to be sedated before the other meds were given so he would go in his sleep. They were the only ones who were willing to honor him this way. He was not caused more pain and felt safe as he was in his space. I called all over town and the way they handled my best friend's death was wonderful. They sent us a card afterward as well. I highly recommend these vets. Even though my lab was not one of their patients they still cared.

Wonderful bunch of people who really care about the animals they see as well as the owners who belong to those critters. ❤️ Everyone in the office has been so sweet and patient. Grateful to have found such a fantastic vet for our furry family members.

One of the most knowledgeable, trauma, and surgery experienced vets in the quad city area! We are very thankful and blessed we had the chance of crossing paths with Dr. Dan. Our cat was attacked by a dog and we were told multiple times by multiple vets that we needed to put our cat down or amputate his leg. We took our cat to the Animal Emergency Center in Bettendorf IA for the weekend so he could continue to be monitored during the weekend while we waited for his appointment the next week for amputation. Thankfully Dr. Dan was working that evening and gave my husband and I great news. Due to Dr. Dan's surgical experience he knew that we didn't have to amputate his leg but simply clean up the dead tissue and muscle in his leg. Dr. Dan told us to cancel the amputation and to bring our cat to Riverside in Muscatine to start working with him. Within days our baby was eating again after a long week of no food intake and all his vitals were reaching normal levels. My cat was boarded and treated here for a week where he received treatment and was loved by professionals. When we finally were able to take our cat home, Dr. Dan kept constant communication with us and would ask for pictures of our cat's recovery. I thought I had a good vet before my cat was attacked but all that vet did was give shots and fill out prescriptions and never had the experience of severe trauma. That vet along with others recommended euthanasia or amputation where Dr. Dan is a seasoned vet and knew what he was doing. Thanks to him we have a 4 legged healthy kitty.
