How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Happy Tails Veterinary 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

What an amazing experience! I took my dog in for an emergency visit. Dr Butcher and his staff were warm, caring and so gentle with my dog today. Dr Butcher was careful to review all of the info and ask questions to learn about our situation. The staff was wonderful with my dog. They explained each step and made me feel comfortable as well. Procedures and pricing was discussed and explained. All of our options were presented to us and I felt supported in the course of treatment I chose. I’m so glad to know they offer routine veterinary care too! Will definitely be switching veterinary offices to Happy Tails. Thank you all so much for how you took care of my big guy Lincoln today! 🖤

Very good clinic, technicians, and Dr Vera is the best! Because of her care, my Yuki is now 16 years old and still loving his walks and life in general. I expect my 7 yr old Lucky girl to be around that long too, thanks to the excellent care from Happy Tails Vets.

Took our baby girl there last night and they were curious and professional and took good care of her. It is nice to have an Urgent care vet in the dena.

My dog Doom was brought into Happy Tails for vomiting and lethargy. He was quickly taken back and assessed by Dr. Calpeno. X-rays showed he had an intestinal blockage. From the moment I came in it was all hands on deck to get Doom in better shape. He was then taken into surgery (they have a full surgical suite on site) and the team spent four hours removing the obstruction. Everything happened very quickly but they made me feel comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. I knew he was in good hands. Once he was done with surgery Sam (practice manager) sat with me for several hours trying to find affordable 24hr care. The whole team was pitching in to help get him sent to an affordable but great care facility. I cannot thank them enough for the above and beyond efforts they made for my pup and I. I’ve never felt so cared for. Doom is a very lucky man to have had them, as am I. If you want the best care, I definitely recommend Happy Tails.

I first started going to Happy Tails in October of 2024. My 12 yr old pittie girl had infected teeth. From the moment we walked through the door we were greeted with friendly staff. We saw Dr. Calpeno and the initial exam she gave Brooklyn was so thorough! Come to find out, with each visit your companion gets this thorough exam since things can change so quickly! I was impressed with Dr. Calpeno's knowledge! I've had pets all my life and have never met a veterinarian so knowledgeable. Come to find out my girl had heartworms so that needed to be treated before anything else. Dr. Calpeno was concerned about one of the lumps my girl had so during her last days of treatment the doctor discovered that it was cancer. She had her chemo shot last week and is doing well. She goes back in a month for a re-check. Dr. Sebert was my girls' doctor for the heartworm and cancer treatments. She was absolutely wonderful! She called to check on my girl even when she was off work. During all these treatments, the wonderful techs and doctors constantly stayed in touch. They sent messages and pictures of my girl throughout the days she was there. Hopefully the cancer is gone and my sweet girl can have her teeth extractions and cleaning. I highly recommend Happy Tails for your companions needs! I am extremely pleased with every employee there and the amazing care my girl received. I will continue to take my girl to Happy Tails. I am grateful I found them!
