How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Lakewood 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.

Lakewood Animal Hospital is the best choice for veterinary services! The office staff are so kind, thorough, and organized. Dr. Miller was amazing and provided knowledgeable diagnosis and presented us with options to consider. This hospital is compassionate and kind and definitely has the clients' best interests in mind! I highly recommend!

I was able to get my Ball Python in very quickly when I was so scared for her health. The service was great, friendly and professional. Dr. explained antibiotic/injection treatments I would be administering, he took his time to listen to my concerns, as well as explaining the most cost efficient way to treat my animal. we came up with a plan I am happy with and I am very satisfied with the care I received. Not many animal hospitals are great or knowledgeable with reptiles, so I greatly appreciate this vet!

I was very impressed with the services and care we received while getting our annual vaccinations and check-up on our nervous dog. Maddie and Dr. Miller really took the time to get to know our pup so she felt more comfortable and safe. We have had a hard time finding a veterinary that didn't make us feel rushed and nervous during the whole process. They also see a variety of reptiles which came in clutch when our snake got a respiratory infection. Thanks again!!!

I bring my Chabrador here. They give top notch care and it’s not super expensive. From an owners perspective the exam rooms aren’t super tiny and it doesn’t really smell bad inside like other places they definitely get you in and out and you can tell they have a good work culture here. Pretty sure my dog likes the vibe too unless they are trying to take his temperature….

I am very happy with the services we have received here. Dr Miller listens to your concerns and is willing to work WITH you on helping your pet. We recently took in a pregnant cat who had 5 kittens- we ended up keeping them all in addition to our existing cats and Dr Malon has been wonderful through their spay/neuter procedures. She calls you personally and explains everything, has not been in a rush and answers any questions, The supporting staff have all been helpful and kind and everyone here seems to genuinely love their job and animals- which makes all the difference in the world.
