How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Animal Health Services

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.

They are caring people who love animals of all kinds. Kim (vet), takes care of Farm animals, as well as house hold animals. They will fit you in for an emergency. And the best part is they aren't that expensive. Great place for your animal needs.

In the last year this veteranarian has quadrupled their rates and didn't let us know before hand after making an appointment and paying 500$ when atwater was known to be a cheap but efficient vet. This clinic is not worth your time or money. Not to mention they lost our last cats account we just got spayed a YEAR ago! Worthless vet period.

I bring all my fur babies here and have had great experiences. They did ACL surgery on both of my dogs and Kim did an amazing job. It looked great and healed wonderfully. Highly recommend

I love Dr. Kim and this clinic. They are so good to my animals. I had six dogs, (now 4), and Dr. Kim took care of all of them. She knows their needs and is very kind to the animals. I highly recommend her. Thank you Dr. Kim and staff.

Highly recommend! We took one of our dogs there for thermal imaging and laser, and the service was excellent! Everyone is so kind and accommodating and helpful. Dr. Olson met with us to go over the results and recommendations for him, and is so great at taking her time with us and answering any question we have. There wasn't any feeling of being rushed, even though we knew she had a very full day of clients. Because of our first experience with her and the great staff, we ended up having our other dog be seen by her as well and will continue to have all of our dogs seen by her. We drive 2 hrs one way just for Dr. Olson and her staff's services and we are more than happy to do so because of their excellent care and customer service.
