How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Animal Urgent 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.

Amazing urgent care experience. My cat wasn't feeling good so I did the online queue as soon as it opened and within minutes I got a response and was able to get in right away. The office is super cute and very clean, the staff were so sweet and funny and everyone was a pleasure. The exam was thorough, they gave many options on what I'd like to do, each with a price breakdown and were very honest and understanding about everything. The cost for an urgent visit wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting! I was in and out within an hour with an exam and meds administered. I really enjoyed going there. Definitely will be recommending this place and going back if ever needed!

Best urgent vet I’ve ever been to! Everyone was friendly and compassionate. Prices are very reasonable for urgent care. It was also very clean. The only place I will go from now on!

I brought my ailing kitty in on an urgent basis. I was impressed by their digital queue online, which decreases wait times in clinic, and therefore, the stress on the animal that needs care. The clinic isn’t close to me, but based upon the reviews, I selected them to care for my cat. I was not disappointed! Prices for certain procedures are available on the website, and whichever other procedures or medications your animal may need is outlined prior to initiating their services - that’s pricing transparency, and it’s appreciated. My kitty didn’t require all the procedures initially outlined, so in the end they didn’t have to do everything. They weren’t pushy, nor did they make any attempts to oversell - that’s honesty. **The only thing that surprised me was the price for CPR (should it be required), I am not sure if that’s a standard price across the across the veterinary field, but I thought it was kinda expensive. Having said that, it was a very positive experience, they didn’t over charge, all the staff were very friendly, understanding, knowledgeable, and professional. The clinic was well organized, and designed thoughtfully, with appropriations for privacy, comfort, and low stress environments for patients and their humans/caregivers. Dr. Woodworth helped us and they were very thorough, helpful and communicative - even with several follow-ups and any questions I had - and that’s exceptional service. The vet tech Jason was super friendly and helpful too. This clinic also has a vet that has a good knowledge base for alternative therapies such as Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, and acupuncture - so treatment modalities cover all the bases at AUC. I Would definitely recommend bringing your animal in need of urgent care to this clinic.

This was a great experience. The process is so smooth checking in online and preventing a packed parking lot of impatient owners. It also keeps the office peaceful and quiet. This was one of the most thoughtful and thorough appointments we’ve had period. Dr. Woodworth and the entire staff were so kind, patient, and gentle with Duncan. All of our concerns were addressed and I felt fully listened to. When they took him to the back for the diagnostic procedures I could hear them baby talking him and calling him all the cutey little nicknames under the sun. Feeling like they genuinely care about your pet is massively important and I could genuinely feel that from them.

This is an amazing clinic! They got me in within an hour for stitches on my dogs paw. The staff was all so friendly and wonderful with my dog. 10/10, we had a great experience.
