How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Ely 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

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.

We love all the Ely Vets, techs and staff! Compassion and practical information always provided, with options on care for all the animals we've had consultation on whether it's been routine prevention, emergency or age related. Most recently Dr. Chip Hanson & Dr. Allison have helped us with Bree our 17.5 year old Alaskan Husky retired sled dog racer and Powder our 14.5 year old Siberian. 100% our vets of choice, even when it means a 2 hr drive each way.

Every single person who works here is absolutely fantastic and we trust them 100%! They always explain things in enough detail that we understand each thing they tell us! Our dog Paco has ALWAYS been taken care of from the beginning to the end of each visit! Thank all of you for making us feel safe and like part of a family there! Today we went and had our dog Paco put down. They were all so fantastic and gentle with him. Literally one of the hardest things we have ever had to do. They even got a paw print for us for him! Thank you so much to everyone especially Chip for helping Paco cross the rainbow bridge and explaining everything before he did anything. Chip, you are an amazing human being and we are so grateful for you! Thank you!

Ely Vet Doctors, and staff, are a great team that works hard to care for our beloved pets. We've been taking our dogs here for a few years and have always been confident they will receive excellent care/treatment. We are grateful to have them in our community. J&G Boll

My husband & I are from the cities, we have a cabin in the cook area. We found our selves in an emergency situation with one of our dogs on Saturday, August 5th 2023. I called your clinic and boy were we ever glad we did. Unfortunately the outcome for our sweet boy wasn’t what we had hoped for but, Dr Kristine Woerheide and her staff were PHENOMENAL!!! Dr Woerheide was there for us when she said she would be, she was very knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. I would recommend her and this clinic to anyone. Thank you Dr Woerheide for being their for us and our sweet boy Ryker. It meant more us than you will ever know. Sandy Jacobson

If I could give 10 stars I would. Dr. Chip took so much time with me, explaining so clearly everything, showing me xrays and explaining everything. I went in afraid I would be losing my best friend and left with a lighter heart. Can't thank him enough for caring so much.
