How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Claiborne 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

We drive over an hour to use this vet and his awesome staff. There is a reason we do that. We are dog professionals and they give the best high level care, best service at a fair cost. Been a loyal customer for years.

I love taking my pets to Claiborne Animal Clinic because I know they will be well taken care of and they are so friendly. I got my dog neutered without any problems. I also had 2 cats spayed too.They are the best in my book.

Before going here, I had read the reviews and was impressed. Now after I've taken my cats for vaccinations, I was able to see for myself how fortunate we are to have such a great animal clinic here in Homer! The staff is extremely nice and caring to the animals and their owners. The office is very clean both in the waiting room and back areas. I was able to schedule just vaccinations right before I went without a doctor's visit for an affordable price. Even though my cats didn't need to be seen by Dr. Tinsley this time, I was able to see how caring he was with others there and look forward to trusting them in the future with our cats' health.

Great prices and great service. Definitely better than the couple in Farmerville, the lady vet was super rude. Almost like she hated the breed, or me owning the breed (pit) and was super rude. This place didn't do that!

The veterinarian at Claiborne Veterinarian Clinic was so forthcoming to me and saved me so much money by not giving unnecessary x-rays and surgery to my charpit, PJ. PJ loved him and all the assistants and vet were so kind to my dog and me. I will change vets and start using Claiborne clinic!
