How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Garrett 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.

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

I took my Siberian husky Gus to the clinic today and the all of the staff were wonderful! My husky who has been difficult and stubborn with other vets before, did great. At first I wasn't sure how he would do with a male vet but he really seemed to like Dr. Stanton Garrett. I'll be taking all of my pets here from now on!

I’m very happy to say that after visiting many other vets with no results, I’m starting to get great results after visiting Garrett. Everyone here at Garrett has been very thorough. Thanks Garrett

After months of my Mia's health declining and in light of a very grim prognosis, I made the difficult decision to put her to sleep. This isn't just a review for Garrett Veterinary Services, but also a huge thank you for their time and patience in getting down to what was wrong with her. If it wasn't for them finding many of her mounting issues, she would have likely suffered a slow and painful death and probably wouldn't have made it through the weekend. The decision to put her to sleep wasn't hard, but the decision to make that decision was. (Mind you this all took place after hours when they closed, this shows how committed they are in spades.) I didn't want to have to let her go, but I knew in my heart of hearts it was the humane and only right choice to do. They allowed me to be with her and comfort her until she went to sleep. In the end they let me fulfil the promise to her and myself that she didn't have to face her last moments on earth alone in a room full of strangers. It was a beautiful thing they allowed me to let her go in my own way. These people truly have heart and I know I made the right choice when I switched to them. If any of Garrett staff read this review, just know I love you guys for this. We'll stay with Garrett for as long as you are around. Thank you!

Our experience was as good as it could have been on the day we said goodbye to our dog. They were able to get us in on short notice when he took a gravely bad turn. Everyone was caring and compassionate, and that's so appreciated.
