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

I sent my friend a coupon for a free exam DIRECTLY FROM yourpetswellness, and she was charged an additional $40, because their exams used to cost $90 but now they're $130. Which is fine, just say $90 off your first exam, or honor what the coupon said? Shady practice, and I've stopped recommending them to my friends which is sad because I used to love them! I brought my cats here for the first time 4 years ago and loved it! The vet was so kind and gentle and really listened to me about their health and I never felt judged. I brought my cat back in for her annual check up and shots which cost $300+, and they looked genuinely shocked and disappointed I refused to spend an additional $300 for blood work that day. The doctor barely spoke to me, man handled my cat a little and I was charged over $100 more than my last visit, and they didnt explain the cost addition. They either have new ownership or have just gone downhill, but I don't think people should go to this vet anymore.

Tito usually does well when he comes to the vet. The doctors are amazing. He was there for just a booster vaccine and it was pretty quick and easy.

Ever since Dr. Dory sold the practice this place is not the same. I barely felt any genuine love for animals in this place. The staff was filled with new faces (a sign of high turnover) for both techs and doctors. I love my dog, but at the same time I'm not rich. I'd like transparency about the cost of things before recommending work that isn't 100% necessary. I'd atleast appreciate some insight, reasoning, and conversation regarding certain recommendations or courses of actions. But none of those existed in my last visit, simply felt like a minute clinic that was trying to get me in and out. I've been going here for 8 years so it's sad to say that I'm now exploring alternatives.

I had a great visit to Your Pets Wellness. The staff was friendly and the doctor was very informative. Highly recommend them!

Was really excited to take my just-adopted pup to his first vet appointment, and was excited to see they had a free first visit for new clients. I went in with confirmation from the staff it would be a free visit (of course I understood if my pup needed anything special outside of a wellness exam it would cost money). When asked about my new dog and how he was doing, I mentioned that he has a sensitive stomach just for them to be aware of. I was then told that “because he has these other issues, it no longer makes the appointment a wellness exam and therefore not a free visit”. Essentially, they scammed me and anyone else who experienced this. Because I voiced out loud that there was anything I wanted them to be aware of (bear in mind they did not do anything to treat this in any way, it was a regular wellness exam) they used that against a new patient. My pup was also terrified of the vet, hid under my chair the entire time, and they didn’t seem to care or want to ensure he felt comfortable. It was a very fast check on him with no attempt at getting to know him as a new patient, their way of a rug pull to make money under the guise of a free visit for new patients. Really sad to experience as a first time pet owner who really just wants to make sure my pup has the best care possible.
