How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Aberdeen Animal Hospital

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.

had a problem with my cat, I called to ask a question. If they can please show some compassion and just ask the doctor for some advice or what they recommend, I told them what was wrong with my cat. I took her to a vet on Saturday. They knew all the info I knew.They told me they were all booked up and could not help me. I pleaded with them, They told me again take my cat to an emergency room. Again I told them I took her to a hospital , I just wanted advice to make sure my cat was not hurt or become hurt. No compassion here. These positive reviews are all fake. They encourage or guilt customers to leave good

They were able to fit us in short notice to put our dog down. The vet was able to tell us what was wrong with him and made us feel better that he couldn’t be helped. Thank you doctor dean.

The only reason I am giving 1 star is for the vet himself, otherwise I’d give zero. I have a 9 month old Siberian Husky puppy. We have gone to this vet and more often than not the problems lie with the receptionists and vet techs. I took her to get her stitches out after her spay. She is a very anxious dog so I knew it would be difficult. What I did not know is that they would be taking the stitches out in the lobby of the office. They excepted me to hold her down which I tried to do, but as anxious as she was, that couldn’t be attained. As my dog snipped at the vet tech because of how scared she was, she directed the other woman to grab a muzzle. While they struggled to put the muzzle on her, the vet tech Amanda pulled her collar back tight in a very aggressive way. They then pushed her onto the floor to get her stitches out and ridiculed me about where I take her to get her training done. Please keep in mind that this was all done in the LOBBY of the office. How is it ok to take stitches out without wearing gloves, in a non sterile environment? They have been nothing but rude and empathetic and constantly remind me that “she’s a husky, she’s fine”. While I’m well aware of the type of breed I own, I will not tolerate someone treating me like a child and expecting me to do their job, while throwing my dog around like a rag doll. Do yourself a favor and take your animal elsewhere that has empathy and understands. While Dr. C is great at what he does, his condensing, snobby, and rude assistants will never lay a finger on my dog again.

My tire blew while turning into the lot for my cat's annual appt. It was freezing cold and I had my 4 1/2 year old with me. Between patients, Dr Wild offered to change my flat! I could not be more grateful that he helped me out. He truly went above and beyond.

Dr. Dean is the best! We’ve been seeing him for many years, and despite moving further away, we continue to make the drive to see him, with any, and all our pet needs! He is a skilled, honest, caring, and compassionate doctor, who never would try to sell anyone on services, but rather has always put our pet first, even when it’s necessary to compromise his own schedule - because he cares and has the best interest, of our pets, at heart!! 5 stars is honestly not enough for this Dr. & his wonderful staff!
