How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Wayland 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

Dr Pinzky and her team are fantastic. They’ve been taking care of my pets for over 15years now. Through difficult times when my dog passed to the best times when I got new fur babies they’ve been awesome. Never had an unhappy experience. They’re always there to help you and your pets.

We LOVE Wayland Animal Clinic. We followed our veterinarian (Dr. Boardman) here when he transfered practices, we have also come to know and love all the staff, techs, and other veterinarians here. They treat us with such respect and are always happy to help out, which was huge when my senior dog started declining in health and I was at the clinic every week. I truly can not say enough good things about them!

I have been coming here since 2016 and all the veterinarians and rest of the staff are amazing. They are all super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and at the end of the day, all they want is to give your animal the best care possible and make your pet feel loved. I highly recommend their business if you’re in the market for a vet.

We have been with Wayland Animal Clinic for over 15 years. And now a new puppy. The practice has been our go-to recommendation for vet care the whole time. Professional, compassionate, highly skilled, and reasonably priced. Can't go wrong here.

You and your pet are in excellent hands at Wayland Animal Clinic. Dr. Pinsky went out of her way to save my dog's eyesight when she had acute glaucoma, fitting us into an emergency appointment on a busy Saturday. Dr. Boardman did an excellent job on a tooth extraction on our now senior dog. These vets are among the best trained in the country while at the same time being compassionate, approachable, and very good listeners. The WAC is great too! Postscript: We had to euthanize my dear old companion Ziva at age 12 last week due to inoperable cancer. A friend said, “Dogs give us thousands of the best moments in our lives and one of the worst.” WAC let us do it in the private backyard of the clinic, which is in a converted house, on a blanket on the grass. It felt like home. They gave us all the time we needed to be with her, and she was so happy to be with us outside together on a sunny day with birds chirping and the sounds of kids playing off in the distance. They were so comforting and patient with us, and Ziva slipped away gently and peacefully with her head resting in my hands. As a longtime client, I was so grateful and surprised that they didn’t even charge us. This was a moment I dreaded for many years, but I can’t imagine it being performed more sensitively and compassionately by anyone anywhere else. The benefit of having a sustained relationship with WAC became crystal clear to me. May this independently owned and operated veterinary clinic continue to help animals and their human families for many years ahead.
