How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Growls & Meows Veterinary 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.

Very thankful for the fast response and attention to detail with my dog..they fixed her right up when nobody else could. Thank you again for showing up at 7 at night I hope everyone knows they have a emergency line and every single time I've ever called even at 3am Sunday morning someone picked up. They got my vote. 10 stars

The only place open for emergency care and could not have asked for better. My Pittie had never been there but they were quick to help and did emergency surgery. They were great with him and he is doing so much better! Definitely a great group of staff and Dr. Thank you all so much for saving my baby.

Staff absolutely loved my dog and she loved them right back. She looked and smelled wonderful after her spa treatment (bath and nails).

The Friday night before Easter, we got home from work and noticed our sweet female Rotty kept licking her chest, which I thought was weird and went to check on her. After further inspection discovered what appeared at first glance to be a hole in her chest. Our DIL immediately stepped in and called Growls & Meows! Keep in mind our female Rotty had NEVER been there! At 7:15pm on a Friday night, AND on Easter Weekend too, Growls & Meows Veterinary Clinic not only answered the call but immediately asked for pictures to be text to them. After texts and pictures were sent, and a few follow up texts, the office called right back! They wanted to see our sweet Rotty first thing Saturday morning. Ria went in for surgery on a Saturday morning, the day before Easter and spent 4.5 hours there!!! She had puncture wounds on her chest and another set under her armpit from some type of attack. Also some type of tear in her back leg, similar to an ACL tear in an adult. My point is - if YOU’RE looking for a vet, Cisne and their staff are amazing and are so accommodating- even to patients that originally were not theirs! Needless to say, all 5 of our FUR Babies will be using Dr. Murphy and staff! Their amazing care was greatly appreciated for Rhiannon! Thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars

Had a barn cat prolapsing, called to be seen and asked how much. Said they don't take payment plans and they were to busy just to busy. I feel sick, I really liked her too.
