How to Save on Veterinary Costs at VetUrgency
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.

My poor dog had been suffering from an ear infection while I had been on vacation, Upon arriving home and finding this out I immediately contacted my main vet who told me they were booked 2 weeks out! She told me that a great place to go for this was Vet Urgency since this wasn't ER emergency, but leaving an ear infection untreated is horrible. I made an appointment and the team here was quick and communicative with me. Even when their Vet had an emergency I got a call explaining everything and an instant reschedule! This place was fabulous! Staff is amazing, everything is clean, and so caring. The only down side, as to most medical things is the price. Not quite as expensive as the ER vet but not as cheap as the normal one I go to. 100% would go here again :)

I brought my dog to VetUrgency for ear irritation that developed into an ear infection. The staff and vet were very professional and provided him with excellent care. The day after our visit my dog is clearly feeling so much better, and I would highly recommend VetUrgency! This was our second visit to VetUrgency in the past two years, and both visits were for issues that were not “emergencies” but could not reasonably wait until a weekday since my dog was in pain. I am thankful to have this vet office less than an hour away from where we live.

We arrived late in the evening with our senior dog who was in extreme discomfort and we had no idea what to expect. I can't say enough good things about VetUrgency. Greeted with a smile as soon as we walked in. The staff were all caring, compassionate, and thorough. They took the time to explain the different scenarios (diagnosis) and walked us through the treatment plan and pricing upfront. Thank you for taking care of our fur baby!

My vet didn’t have any times available to see my dog, and his hotspot was getting worse. It was a bit of a drive for me so I tried more local options first - but other clinics seemed to have hoops to jump through to get him seen. As soon as I called VetUrgency they put me at ease and got me in within a few hours of calling. They were gentle and friendly with my dog during the exam and explained everything really well. They gave me a clear expectation of the cost range, and if there were any factors that could potentially raise the cost range. I have very clear instructions on how to care for him at home. For the area, their costs were reasonable. Overall, I’m grateful for their care and professionalism.

I cannot recommend this facility enough! We took our dog on a walk in visit to receive care for a cracked nail on a Saturday. Our dog is very anxious and the staff gave us some water to help counteract all of his nervous panting. The staff were incredibly kind, patient, smart, and professional. It was obvious that they are true animal lovers. The staff explained every cost and every step of the procedure. They gave our dog exceptional care and were able to keep the quick of our dog’s nail intact. The after care instructions are thorough and helpful. Despite the stress and fear that came with our dog going under anesthesia, we felt calm because they were calm. On the drive home we agreed that those were some of the nicest people we’d met. Thank you all for helping Mickey!
