How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Thornwood Veterinary 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

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.

Dr. G has always been a consistent and quality provider for us. Our mastiff, Lucy, lived to 12 years old. TWELVE! She helped us identify and treat her anxiety and food sensitivities. Dr. G was so honest and kind when she saw it was time for Lucy to leave us. We will always have the beautiful image our sweet girl looking out on the farm as she went to sleep. THANK YOU DR G (and staff)!!!

Incredibly friendly, open and caring people! OK, yes We're a bit biased because our family has been going here for like the past 40 years (since we all moved back to Michigan) AND it's on our middle/high school bus route. So what?! This place is amazing and their advice is very down-to-earth. Plus our doggo loves visting! Wait, maybe it's a plus that the *humans* love visiting - of course our dogs and cats do!!

Dr. Grusling has been helping my with my pets for years. She is very thorough with her exams and provides appropriate treatment planning options for her clients. When I first adopted my cat, we were struggling with inappropriate urination- she was the first vet to provide me with a solution to this inconvenient problem. She’s the best! Cannot recommend Thornwood enough!

Always the best! We have been taking our dog here for a few years now, and continue to love it. Veterinary, boarding, and doggie daycare, are all excellent. They love Cooper and take care of him just as well as we do!

Very caring staff, super responsive, and Dr. Denney takes the time to explain things and follow up. My dog doesn’t really love going there (understandably) but I am happy to have a quality vet so close to home.
