How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Animal Dentistry Referral 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.

I cannot say enough great things about my experience! I was very nervous as my 4 year old dog, Doc had never been under sedation and he has a condition where he can experience seizure like behavior. I'm also kind of crazy and was really nervous about the amount of hair that would need to be shaved. Doc is a show dog so he does have very long hair. The staff went above and beyond for my request, only shaving a tiny patch that even I had to look for. That small consideration of my request really meant the world to me. While Doc was there for his root canal, the technicians called several times to update me on his progress. At the end of the procedure, Dr. Jen called to give me a brief run down of everything. I was very pleased with the amount of contact from the staff since I was pretty nervous. They very much put my mind at ease. At check out I was given a very thorough explanation of every aspect of Doc's procedure and I even learned some things. I will never take my dogs anywhere else for dental care. Doc and I truly received the gold standard of care!

If your pet needs the help of a veterinary dentist/oral surgeon look no further! Dr. Mathis and her team are wonderful. My dog recently had a rostral mandibulectomy (she had the bottom part of her jaw removed) and we had a very good experience at Animal Dentistry Referral Services. My dog was experiencing a lot of pain and from the moment we called, Dr. Mathis and the team handled our case with care. Prior to the procedure we had a consult and Dr. Mathis and Anne (client coordinator) took a lot of time explaining the potential procedures, steps and estimates. They answered all my questions and showed me photos of previous procedures to help me get an idea of what to expect.The day of my dogs procedure Dr. Mathis and technicians Molly and Erin walked me through the steps again, made sure all of my questions were answered and that I understood what was happening. They took great care of my pup during surgery and provided me with photos of the procedure so I could see the before and after. Post-operation Dr. Mathis explained dental care and what to expect as far as recovery. My dog is doing well, eating and drinking and while she looks a little different, I couldn't be happier with the outcome of her surgery. Dr. Mathis was able to provide her with a more comfortable mouth and better cosmetic appearance in comparison to her appearance prior to surgery. The thought of a mandibulectomy can be really scary and it was a relief to find someone with the experience and knowledge needed to preform this surgery and we're grateful for the care she received. Big thanks to Dr Mathis, Anne, Molly, Erin and all of the other kind receptionists and technicians that helped.

Dr. Jen is an amazing pet dentist. SO passionate about her care for pet dentistry needs. The continuity of care provided with their care coordinator, Anne, is an added benefit. Anne is a very compassionate individual that will walk you through from start to finish.
