How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Healthy Paws Veterinary Medical 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.

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.

I have had many pets all my life and of course many nice vet appointments and not so happy appts. I was serching for a vet over a year ago and had gone to at least three vets with no success BUT when I tried here HEALTHY PAWS and found out my favorite Dr was there also I have not left My babies are happy and I am happy What a great crew they have there. Always a smile compassion for your pet AND you. Gtreat timely care The whole staff is so good with the animals. They walk around and hold your pets like they are holding there own When I have an Emergency I feel the care and also can help you if they cant. They return ALL your calls in a timely manner. I am just very happy where I am at And they offer so much more. Love HEALTHY PAWS

let me start off by saying if could put zero stars I would. I used to come here all the time and they were amazing but now they’re letting anyone work here. She asked me to grab my upset and scared cat who didn’t wanna be touched and put him on the counter. Aren’t they in charge of doing that stuff? When i said i couldn’t she stood there awkwardly. the doctor barely checked him, she kept him on the floor and didn’t care to try and listen to his heart and lungs she said “I heard it a little it sounds fine” and offered me a bunch of medication for things i didn’t come for and things he absolutely didn’t need. They want nothing but your money. This checkup took literally 5 min. I came regarding a scab on my cats chin. She said she could only feel it because my cat wouldn’t let her see it, and they prescribe me with a dog spray. DONT COME HERE

I have been using Healthy Paws for 18 years now. I haven't seen Dr. Steve in a while but the other Doctors are all great. Caring staff, reasonable prices, good hours, I cannot complain. I have had many dogs go through their doors and I have been pleased with their care. All of the staff really care about your furry family member as if they were their own. When I picked up my girl from a few day vacation (boarding) she was excited to see me but I could tell she bonded with the staff. The gentleman that was taking care of her was sad to see her go. Even when you have to say the final goodbye as much as is possible the staff make it easier. They are very respectful. As I said my oldest has been with them since they were next door to the pet shop east of where they are now. I moved out of state but on a visit home she got sick, I called them and they said bring her in. They took care of her as they always did. When I moved back if course I brought my pack to them for their care. My dogs go their when my parents had dogs they went their. Love you guys at Healthy Paws.

1st they tried to over charge me by $350 but said it was a typo when I said something about how does 1mg of anything cost over $400. Then took my $1600 to fix Merlins urinary blockage. 2 days after the procedure we called because we were concerned about his recovery. They dismissed us and said it's normal. 1 week after the procedure Merlin started making the same noises as before the procedure. They wouldn't even look at him for less than $90. Mind you i am not rich. At all. We took him to another vet that told us the damage to his kidneys had already been done and wasn't reversible. Today we said goodbye to Merlin. I believe they will get you for every dollar they can because they prey on people's love for their best friends. Don't bring your family members here.

We were preparing a dog for export to Taiwan and they were very helpful and got all the documentation submitted for us. This is a very complicated process. Thank goodness for the staff at Healthy Paws.
