How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Indianapolis Animal Urgent Care

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.

Indianapolis Animal Urgent Care was absolutely wonderful. I took my cat Smudge in twice to get him checked out because he wasn't feeling good. We were helped very quick and the whole staff was extremely kind. Despite this being an urgent care place, the X-Ray Smudge needed was VERY reasonable cost wise (it was $80 cheaper than the quote I received from CityWay Vet).They were super gentle and patient with him. I also called a couple of times with some questions, and they were very helpful on the phone as well. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely return if Smudge has any issues again (He's all better now!!). Thank you so much Cass, Dr. K, Dr. Murphy, and the whole IAUC staff!

I 100% recommend! Mr. Murphy was very detailed and transparent about everything with us when explaining our puppy’s treatment options along with pricing as well. Such a down to earth local place that made me feel like our concerns were heard and understood. They were quick to see us! Hopefully I don’t have to find myself back here, but if I do have a pet emergency, I will be going here.

My sweet pup ate some toys last weekend- and after being unsuccessful with getting her in at a different emergency vet, we brought her here & Dr. K was able to get her in immediately, get an Xray, and determine that she needed surgery all within an hour. (Not to mention- the day after Christmas). He performed surgery that day, and called me with updates through the whole day. I took her to an overnight facility for monitoring overnight and brought her home in the morning, but she unfortunately never started to get back to herself the next day. I brought her back to Dr. K who got her back on meds and fluids immediately, and although she didn’t end up pulling through, he was by her side until the very end. He performed CPR as soon as he noticed her breathing slow down while he was laying with her. He even did a necropsy free of charge so that we could try to determine what went wrong. Thank you Dr. K, for taking care of my girl and doing everything you could. My Nala could not have been in better hands. The whole team was so supportive and patient and kind with me, and let me visit with her for as long as I needed to after she crossed over. She was my everything and I am so thankful that I decided to bring her here. I miss her more than anything but if there is anything I can do for other pet parents it is to tell you to trust this place with your baby. They care so much about you and about your animal.

This place is excellent! I needed to bring my pup in for a UTI on a Saturday afternoon. They were able to see her quickly, diagnose and provide meds. Very impressive and attentive- highly recommend if you need urgent care - it’s basically a doggie med check!🐶
