How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Sunshine Pet 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.

Our first visit with our 3.5 pound, 9 week old Shih-poo!! The Dr. And her staff were remarkable and I see a long standing relationship for our new addition. We love this place!!!! And the prices are remarkably affordable!!!

Last month our paquito got ran over and passed away. Just last week we had to cancel an appointment we forgot we had made for him and let Sunshine know why. Today we had received a letter by them and our whole family just teared up… Thank you Sunshine for your care, thoughtfulness, & sympathy. They have always treated our other pets with so much care and love. If you want the best care for your pets, you’re in good hands with sunshine. Thank you.

2 years ago I took my best friend to the VCA since he was having a lot of trouble breathing, instead they criticized me and told me I should put him down. I didn’t want to. My dog made it through the night and I immediately brought him to this place, the Doctor took care of Pipo, she treated him for two days. Thanks to her he lived another 2 years. She kept on taking care of Pipo for his allergy’s after. If you’re looking for someone who actually cares, go here. Thank you for giving us 2 more years with our best friend and family member, Pipo.

I wish I could give this pet hospital more than 5 stars. The veterinarian and staff are knowledgeable, friendly and informative. My dog had a checkup, vaccinations, teeth cleaned, and a couple extractions. They were very gentle, caring and even called the day after his surgery to see how he's doing. Great clinic with excellent Dr and staff!!!

Calling around for pricing and info on 1st set of vaccines for our litter of Mastiff puppies. The receptionist was extremely difficult to hear and let me know that she has a ‘sore throat and shouldn’t be at work’ - that’s why she can’t be heard. After asking about the shots (again) she let me know it would be 114$ for EACH puppy to be seen and 45$ for ONE distemper shot - no other vaccines, no other services, JUST distemper. Are the vaccines laced with gold? Nearly every other vet I’ve called has had a ‘group’ rate for litters and certainly gives more than ONE vaccine! AKC registered dogs and in the breeding world….would never recommend this type of care for our Mastiffs.
