How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Bay 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

I recently had to put down my cat of 14 years. They reassured me I was doing the right thing and not let her suffer. I was able to take her in right away and received the ashes the next day. Plus gave me a paw print of my cat in clay. About a week later I received a condolences card from the staff. That was so thoughtful. I will be a customer for life now. I still have a dog and cat left. A photo of my cat Jax is attached.

It's been a long time since I had to put my best friend down. Sabre was like my son. Bay Vet Clinic was extremely professional, helpful and caring. I cannot thank you all enough. I am terribly sorry for the extremely late review. Thanks, for the card, too.

The staff are so friendly and caring. They took great care with us and our dog when we had to put her down. We couldn't have asked for a more sympathetic group of ladies.

I can’t think of a more difficult experience for a pet owner to have to face when you’re from out of state and you don’t have your regular Vetinarian to go to. I however, felt very comfortable with taking my golden retriever to see Dr. Gartland. Her team was incredibly helpful and nice. Dr. Gartland did a great job of explaining what my choices were for having my dog’s foot treated. I now have someone to take my dog to when traveling to the UP.
