How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Chippewa Animal 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 just picked up both of my cats. They both had surgery to be spayed today. The staff at Chippewa Animal Clinic was amazing! Very friendly and professional! My favorite staff member is sweet Rebecca! Thanks for everything guys!

The Vets are good but the desk/phone staff is rude and the opposite of helpful especially if you need them to share pertantant information while you are traveling so your pet can get treatment in a different state, they refused to share information unless we come in person (800+ miles) even the treating vet in Virginia said they have never delt with such rude staff. They are one of only two Vets in the Soo, so I am sure they don't care and probably enjoy inconvincing the paying customers we will avoid them if possible and recommend you do the same if you travel or you expect to be treated with respect.

We could not be happier with the love and care our girl gets here. The staff members truly care and are very professional every single time. I sooo appreciate the follow up calls to make sure everything is ok too. Thank you for going the extra mile. We are beyond thankful for all of you !

Anytime I have been seen here I was always treated with respect and well informed about my pets conditions. My pets were always treated with the upmost care and kindness! If I ever had questions about anything or concerns about any of my pets my questions were always answered very quickly. Even when scheduling appointments the vet would be consulted about my pets conditions and they would fit me in when needed so that my fur babies could get back to feeling better! When my pet mouse who had been a client there passed away they sent me a beautiful condolence card with all of the staffs signatures, it was a beautiful gesture that really comforted me while I was dealing with the loss of one of my pets. The atmosphere of this clinic is that your pets are family and important no matter how big or small they are! I can’t begin to recommend this clinic enough, I have been taking my pets here for the longest time and I will continue to do so for the future!

My experience at Chippewa animal clinic so far, has been great. They've treated my furbabies with compassion and good care . As well as having plans to make care more affordable which is a definite plus. Prices of services in my opinion are pretty average with some services lower prices than others depending on what your furbaby needs, but again they do offer pet care plans for basic care such as shots and discounted visits. in my opinion the plans make caring for my furbabies much easier and affordable. The vets and staff there seem pretty friendly so far and pleasant just as well as compassionate and so far great with my furbabies. so far a vary well earned 5 stars from me and my furbabies :)
