How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Ashland Animal Clinic

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.

I was very pleased with my service and how well they took care of my pup! The only thing I would recommend is for what I brought up to the technician, to be brought up and reminded to not only me but also to the vet. I wanted to talk about one thing and completely forgot yet the technician had made notes about it. It would have been nice to remember or had the help of remembering about this one other very critical item. now I have to come in and pay for another visit to have them check out my dog for it.

Was told $450 to Bob a kittens tail. Not including the visit! They really try to charge you for as much as possible. If you love you animal do not take it here. They want to treat symptoms not heal your pet. So you give them as much money as possible.

5/9/23 Tuesday was the hardest day of my life. I had to put my best boy Moe to sleep. Even though he was 11, it didn't make it any easier. The look in his eyes wanting me to take him and not understanding why he was there and why this person was taking him away broke my heart. The employees of the clinic are caring individuals and I would recommend them to anyone who has a fur baby in need. A special shout out to Tammy McKinney, thank you that made my day better. In time, when it's time you guys will see me again. Thank you all.

We have been taking our Fur Babies to Doc Pinkston for over 12 years now. We just love him and trust him. His talented Son is also very talented, caring and compassionate. The only Veterinarians we trust and take our much loved dogs to!

My dog, Bella, had a medical emergency that her regular vet would not get her in to be seen for. However, when I called Ashland Animal Clinic they were more than accommodating and have been ever since. She had surgery immediately and great follow up care. Would absolutely recommend this clinic! We won’t go anywhere else now.
