How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Urban PetRx
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.

Dr. June LaFave and the entire Urban PetRx team are phenomenal. From the moment you walk in, you’re met with warmth, professionalism, and a genuine sense of partnership. As lifelong pet owners, we’ve seen our fair share of veterinary practices, but none compare to the level of care and compassion we’ve received here. Add to all this Urban PetRx’s affordability and it’s clear: this is a rare gem in Chicago. If you’re looking for a veterinary care team that goes above and beyond, listens like a partner, and treats your pets like family, look no further. Highly, highly recommend.

I cannot recommend this place enough. My poor 12-year-old kitty had an infection that cropped up because of a digestive problem. I couldn't get into my regular vet for a few days, but I could tell my cat was in terrible pain. Urban PetRx had an opening to see her right away, and I'm glad they did! They were able to diagnose and treat her very quickly. And when complications arose, Urban Pet saw what was happening and devised a plan to treat her unique problem. My kitty healed up perfectly and is back to her old self! They were very thorough and showed that they really cared through the whole ordeal. If I could give more stars, I would!

I have been bringing my dog Jackson to UrbanPet Rx for years now. He is relatively healthy so I've mostly had to take him in for annual vaccinations and wellness exams. I am writing this review now and giving them 5 stars due to the incredible professionalism that I recently experienced. There was an issue with his last appointment, and I reached out via email and explained the situation. I received a prompt response the next day with details of the corrective action(s) that had been taken and all of my concerns were addressed. Issues arise in business, but I will continue to come to this vet because of the excellent customer service even when there are problems.
