How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Emergency Pet Care
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.

THE BEST emergency vet service. We thought our cat was poisoned or something, and he was dying. It was Christmas Eve-Eve night and we were so scared. Everyone there was accommodating and extremely helpful and nice. The vet was beyond knowledgeable, and knew exactly what happened before we even explained anything. Mr. Meow-Meow was electrocuted, but survived. We are very grateful for this place and will always highly recommend them!

They were kind and compassionate last night when I had to put my cat down. I would like to say that the room they brought us to, there is no privacy, its really loud and we could hear everything going on in the lobby and other rooms. I wish at such a horrible time it could have been quiet and peaceful, but I am forever grateful for the care and compassion they offered us. They also gave us paw and nose prints and fair pricing.

Excellent care starting when we arrived at the front desk all the way to the Veterinarian assistant and Dr. Bowes conducting a final diagnosis and helping our dog. I would definitely go back if needed. The cost was also reasonable. Thanks for the great care.

We recently had to put our beloved dog to sleep. He was only 9 years old. It took only 2 weeks from the time we found out he was sick, to the time we had to say goodbye. It was one of the worst experiences our family has gone through. EPC was a blessing to us in a time of need. They were very passionate and kind to us. We had him cremated and was able to pick him up a week later. They saved his blanket for me and had enclosed a card with his remains. It took another week before I had the courage to open it. Everyone in the office had signed the card and they had included his paw prints! It was the gift I didn't know I needed!! Thank you EPC for everything!

My pet had a respiratory issue. I called before visiting and was given some good advice. I decided to take in my pet. They treated my pet right away. They were very professional and informative. They diagnosed my pet and got me medication. I think the whole visit was 20 minutes. It really helped keep my pets anxiety down.
