How to Save on Veterinary Costs at UrgentVet

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.

My cat Mango was sick and dehydrated and needed to be seen and our vet was closed, everyone around us was either busy or had some crazy pricing to come in last minute. I drove 40 min away since I seen great reviews. We came and checked in and immediately brought into the room. They did have snacks and drinks in the lobby. Very clean and comfortable. The wait was very long to me, but that’s because I’m very impatient and not so much a reflection of them. The vet tech Casandra was absolutely wonderful and explain the whole process and cost so there are no surprises later. She was soft spoken, patient and understanding. Doctor A. Orals was transparent, descriptive and informative as much as possible. I felt like he did not try to perform unnecessary tests to take more money out of me like most of these emergency vets try to do. In and out in about half or so. My cat is already feeling better today and the medicine is helping. They followed up with a phone call to make sure he felt better. I’m extremely happy with this service. Will definitely go again, if needed be! They need to open more of these locations because the staff is absolutely amazing!

Such a caring Vet and Staff made our emergency kitten scare all so much better with immediate attention, accurate diagnosis… my Kitten is already feeling so much better 24 hours later… thank you so much for taking us in so quick and for all the love and attention. We certainly will be back if any other urgent health issues arise with our pets.

I brought my 16 year old cat Spooky here due to he kept vomiting. The staff was so nice and friendly and handled Spooky well because he was scared and growling. They were very patient with him and were very helpful in relieving his fear and anxiety. The doctor took really good care of him and gave me plenty of information regarding my questions about his health as he is a senior cat. I would definitely go again if needed. They even called me after to check on Spooky and see if I had any additional questions or concerns which was much appreciated!

My family and I built up the courage to move forward with a very hard decision that needed to be made: putting to rest our sweet 16 year old cat. We came in a few minutes to closing time and were treated with nothing but compassion and kindness from all of the staff on site that night. We knew our sweet Reese was in good hands from beginning to end. We were escorted to a private a room to spend our last moments with Reese under no pressure time wise. The accommodations were great for both our cat and ourselves. They offered her a final meal and blankets for comfort. Our Tech went over pricing and was very knowledgeable on our options. As well as our doctor who was very friendly and explained the euthanasia process. We decided on cremation for Reese and within days we received a personal card from all of the staff with many condolences. The kindness I received when picking up her ashes was truly heartwarming. For any of those experiencing a difficult situation, please know that you will not regret giving this ER vet a chance. Thank you for making an extremely hard decision a little bit ‘easier’. -The Sychowski Family

AMAZING!!!! My dog ate some raisin bread and I was recommended to take her here. I am sure happy I did!! The establishment was incredibly clean. Getting an appointment was super quick and easy. I believe the kind woman who performed the exam was named Ally. She was the sweetest and knowledgeable. The Dr was also kind, informative and transparent. I will most definitely be recommending this place along coming here again if need be. Thank you so much for everything!!
