How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Countryside Veterinary Center

Preventive care

I’m grateful you have started taking same day appointments. It makes such a difference with my senior dog who has mobility issues. And the love, consideration, and care the techs and the vets show Isis and me means so much. I know we could get good care other places, but I feel like the staff at Countryside Veterinary Care truly lives and cares about our beloved old girl.

On July 10th 2023, I had to do the hardest, most horrible thing a pet owner has to so. I had to release my Bulldog from this life and cross the bridge. My Mr.Big was 10.5 years old and his heart could not longer support a quality life for him. When I came in, I called one the front line workers over. I had written a note saying I was here to euthanize my dog. The girl read it and said give me one minute. 30 seconds later, her and another girl picked up my boy as he could not walk. I could not carry him due to health issues and I had my other bulldog with me. They took all of us into a nice room. They put my Mr.Big on the couch with me. I asked them to please trim my other dogs nails as I said my tearful goodbyes to my best friend. The girls took my other bulldog for a nail trim and I was with Mr.Big. A few minutes later they came back with my other dog and then took Mr.Big to prep him. A friend of mine works here and when she saw Mr.Big she came to see me. Everybody was extremely helpful and caring. We put Mr.Big on the table in the room and I was holding him and telling him I will miss him and I was sorry we could fix his heart. I gave the doctor the okay and held my baby boy and he passed. My face was the last he saw. As I was getting ready to leave, they showed me a way to my car, so I didn't have to walk back through the office as I was a Mess. I got a call the next day at 4pm that Mr.Bigs ashes were ready to be picked up. I went the following day at noon and picked up his ashes. They handed me the beautiful bag with his ashes and two paw prints. About 4 days later i received and sympathy card and all the employees had written a note in the card. This was completely unexpected. I will always use this office and they have taken good care of my puppies. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

Countryside Vet Center was absolutely amazing for us when our dog woke up paralyzed. We were terrified and overwhelmed but they took care of our dog, explained everything to us, took the time to show us they cared and gave us honest advice. When we had to say goodbye they were so kind, gentle and understanding. They also sent us flowers to our home the next day which was incredibly thoughtful and appreciated.

One morning my kitten looked very sick & looked like she wouldn’t make it another hour. Took her to countryside vet & front desk staff were so nice & calming when i did not know what was going to happen. Dr. Kalebich treated mimi with such love & care. About a week later my baby was back to herself. 10/10 recommend this place ❤️
