How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Friendly Vet 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.

We are SO impressed with Friendly Vet Animal Hospital. They were extremely thorough, friendly, and timely. After completing an extensive initial exam, Dr. Grover explained everything he found. And when our test results came back, Dr. Grover called us directly to review the findings. He took the time to explain his recommendations and break down complex issues into simple understandable terms. So amazing!! We feel exceptionally confident in the care provided here and know we have found our forever vet!

I would like to first put this out there for full transparency: I am a current full time veterinary technician on staff at this hospital, but this review is coming from personal experience with my pets...who for the record are like my children. Both Dr. Berg and Dr. Grover have taken such time and care with my animals that they deserve a million stars. My elderly dog has had to have two bladder stone surgeries, one of which was an emergency. I knew with 100% trust that they would help my guy. Dr. Grover even did research in his own time off of the clock to find me an app to help me at home because this will be a life long struggle for my dog (sadly). I am proud to work at a hospital where I can take my own animals and know they I'll get amazing care and that they will also answer any questions I have and calm my anxiety about it. I'm a "human nursing" major but even when I move onto human medicine and out of this field I will never take my pets anywhere else.

Dr. Grover has been our family vet for as long as I can remember. When I began having the responsibility of my own pets there was no question that I would follow Dr. Grover’s practice, despite our move to a new home an hour away. Dr. Grover and his team provide an unparalleled level of expertise, kindness, and care. He provides a conservative approach and will explore and exhaust all options to provide thorough quality care for your furry family members. Our specific experience was through the adoption of a 6-month old chihuahua mix who, due to a birth defect, ended up needing an amputation of his front leg. Dr. Grover’s surgery was pristine and our pup adapted to life as a tripod remarkably. The most notable though is that even now, 6 years later, Dr. Grover has made himself available whenever we have had concerns or questions regarding our pups mobility or health. We cannot thank him enough for going above and beyond for what he does to care for our dog!

Our dog had a medical emergency last summer and our vet was closed right when I needed very urgent help. I called FOUR other animal hospitals first but they didn’t want to give any information over the phone and wanted me to drive when I really needed help immediately. Finally, I got Friendly Vet Animal Hospital. The nurse on the line gave me tangible and very helpful instructions for helping my dog. She put my dog and our family before anything else, even though our dog had never been a patient. I’ve never forgotten that kindness! I told her I would write a review and finally, here it is. Thank you! Also…our dog is doing very well ❤️

We usually see Doc Grover or Doc Berg, and they are both amazing!! We brought our first pup in who had a bad experience at a couple of vets (he barked at the staff and didn't let people touch him). He walked in and was practically putting in Doc Berg's hands. Our second dog was a last chance foster fail we had been told was skittish at the vet. We brought him in, and same thing. He absolutely melted over Doc Berg and the every tech and staff person he met. On walks, they both want to go in and say hi and get treats. All three docs have met our cats including needing urgent surgery during this pandemic. I can't say the cats love the vet, but they don't try to hide or get away, and I love how the docs will sit on the floor with our pets if that's more comfortable for the pet (even though it can't be comfy to do an exam on the floor). I even turned my sister in law onto these docs. She had been having a difficult time at the vet she had used for years with her new dog who is reactive and difficult. First meeting with Doc Grover, and he's practically laying in the doctor's lap and is happily munching treats from his hand. A huge difference from his precious vet who could barely touch him. I don't know how, but the whole team are a pet whisperers. Everyone here goes the extra mile every time we go in, and I couldn't be more grateful.
