How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Batavia Animal Clinic

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.

My boyfriend and I recently moved to the area and unfortunately our little kitty, Azazel, ended up getting sick. Dr. Schanding listened to all of our concerns and genuinely cared about Azazel's well being. He even told us to bring him in when he had no availability because of an emergency! On top of all this, every staff member we've met or talked to has been so understanding and caring. I just couldn't recommend any other vet office as they are truly #1! Pictures of our healthy kitties thanks to these awesome people for tax!

I absolutely love the staff and vets here. I took all three of my cats to Dr. Shanding. He was amazing with them. He treated my elderly cat with such care and was very attentive. Always giving ALL the options and what is best for the pet. Even if I move out of state I will come back to have them see my pets. There the only ones I trust with my babies

We've been with Dr. Schanding for over 10 years and now Dr. Magnuson, too. They and all the staff have been so kind, sweet and amazing with all our dogs... and have great bedside manner with hoomans, too! We appreciate how they take time to go over treatment options, alternatives, and costs, when needed. Their beautiful new clinic has one exam room with floor to ceiling windows and was a great way for our dog to be distracted and not so nervous. Love that they send lots of reminders for appointments, too. There are just so many reasons why we love the Batavia Animal Clinic!

All the vets in this clinic, ALWAYS treat my dogs as if they were one of their own. They take their time with our pets and ensure our pets feel as if they are in a safe place.

Dr. Magnuson was fantastic with our new rescue puppy. It was his first visit and she treated him with such care. He doesn't warm up quickly to people but absolutely loved her almost immediately. She talks with you in a great manner - informative and kind but not condescending. The prices were reasonable and the techs/staff were great as well. Can't ask for much more from a vet clinic. Highly recommended.
