How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Gray Animal Center

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.

Dr Anderson and all the staff are absolutely amazing! They went way out of their way to help my “vet-phobic” dog feel more comfortable. Very grateful for their patience and kindness!

Great practice! I switched here after my previous vet was bought out by a larger corporation and it became clear that their priority became their bottom line. Tired of being blindsided by hundreds of dollars of extra expenses, I switched to Gray Animal Center and met with Dr. Lucas. It’s clear that she is extremely knowledgeable about pet health and pharmaceuticals and provides simple, effective solutions. I saved over $200 on my annual visit by switching here, for the same vaccines for 2 large dogs, without compromising on their care. With two senior dogs on an array of medications, another huge seller for me is that they work with online pharmacies and even have their own available. I’m so relieved to not have to pick up scripts in person in order to snail mail to my pharmacy like my last vet made me do. I’m so happy I switched!

Dr. Kinney and his staff are amazing! I wouldn't consider bringing my dogs to any other vet... We feel like family every time we go there. Dr. Kinney is absolutely amazing with my dogs and I love that they have very reasonable prices. They care about the animals and not the bottom dollar. I highly recommend Gray animal center!

Brought my Lil guy here for a neuter. They are always so kind. My husband and I did his shots ourselves over the last few months and they were one of the few vets that accept proof of that (none in my local area do!). I drive about an hour to bring my pets here because I really feel they are the best fit for our fur family ❤

My sweet Charlie just got home from a lengthy stay at Gray Animal Center. Dr. Kinney and all of his staff have treated both Charlie and I so kindly through this process, and they have been so reasonable with the cost of an extended stay and lots of care. I cannot say enough about how wonderful they have been, and I’m so grateful they saved my Charlie!
