How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Seneca 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

Switched to Seneca Animal Hospital from Shively and am so happy I did. Really friendly and caring staff. A little bit more expensive, but so worth it for the care received and being able to make an appointment online and get right in at the appointment time. Definitely recommend. Thank you for taking such good care of our girl!

I thought seriously about whether to do this bc I considered Seneca the pinnacle of Vet Care so long. I strongly recommended them to everyone. Not now. For several years I brought my dog here and there has been quite a change in Seneca - not for the better. I recently have been on a mission to find a new veterinarian due to behavior from the staff, and requested my dog’s medical records for this reason, be emailed to me. The most recent comment in my dog’s medical record stated that due to “client’s (me) behavior on the phone previously, we will no longer see them as clients.” It also said “we are willing to do a humane euthanasia if he truly thinks his dog is suffering”. Context: my dog was and continues to struggle with a serious illness as I’ve discovered. There are many things so wrong here. 1) I was never notified in any form of me being told I was no longer an allowed patient there. Not at all, no matter what Seneca says. 2) it’s simply untrue, again, no matter what Seneca says. It’s not true. I did not yell, verbally abuse, or call anyone names. I will admit I was upset on the phone but I did not personally verbally attack anyone. So what behavior precisely, are they talking about? I realize customers can be challenging but this is an instance where to anyone reading this review, needs to know that this is a case where the customer (me) is giving the honest truth. 3) How callous is it to go straight to suggesting euthanasia? That is really disturbing. Can’t care for him? Put him to sleep. That is not caring or helpful. 4) money is all the matters evidently and empathy is lacking. If the practice truly had an issue with me, I wish a manager or head veterinarian whom I’ve had the chance to know through coming here, had reached out and discussed the situation. I would have been so happy to have a discussion about it & settle it, and move on & focus on figuring my fur baby’s issue. You guys were my favorite vet ever, and I give you credit for the past positive experiences but this is unacceptable. I mean businesses make mistakes, just own it, you know? Simple stuff. So disappointed from a humane standpoint and business standpoint.

We love Seneca Animal Hospital! Our nervous pup is treated with the utmost care and we feel so well taken care of here. Never once will they rush you or spare any details when it comes to the care of your pet. So kind and gentle. Thank you Seneca!

A belated but sincere thank you to Dr Michelle Shumaker and the entire staff at Seneca Animal Hospital for the days in early July spent making certain that we received the USDA endorsed international health certificate needed to travel with our medical alert service dog to the country of Ireland. We will be flying back to the US tomorrow after a 6-week trip to Ireland that we were months in planning and both my husband and I want them to know how much we appreciated their efforts. Due to some recent changes in international health certificate requirements, there was a day or so when we were concerned that all the tight deadlines might not be met. However, due to Dr Shoemaker’s dedication, to include coming in twice on her days off, plus the meticulous and frequent tracking done by Sydney, the practice manager, we received all the necessary paperwork in time to make our flights. Front desk staff were lovely too, with Manny being very understanding with our concerns. On top of all this, we were just recently arrived to the Louisville area and thus were new clients at the clinic. Dr Shoemaker and her staff showed such professionalism and concern to us. She and her staff can be counted on to stand by her client’s and patient’s best interests in all things. We look forward to trusting her with all of Coco’s future medical needs upon our return. With gratitude, Katie, John and Coco McCoy
