How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Ball-Chatham Veterinary Services

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.

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.

First time experience and was impressed and had a great experience. Loved to be able to stay in my vechile with my dog. They don't have a waiting area which is safer for your fur baby. All employees are fast, efficient and detailed on what they do, and what will be going on with you fur baby. Anything needs to be prescribed you get it the same day. I will continue to use Ball chatham Veterinary.

Took our dog in today due to severe itching and scratching. Dr Jess and the staff took care of the poor guy. They were completely friendly and professional from start to finish! Dr Jess even took the time to call with an update while waiting in my car (due to the Corona virus) and answered all of my questions. Not only awesome care for your fur babies... but very reasonable cost as well. You wont find a better vet clinic around! Thank you Dr Jess and team for being awesome! 😁

They were so kind and heart felt. They fit us in on an emergency, and our senior furbaby passed over the rainbow bridge (last picture together). The entire staff was AH-MaMAZING! We will be taking on future furbabies to them.
