How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Veterinary Dermatology Service

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.

Dr. Globus is amazing! I have a very itchy, yeast dog and she helped him feel better as well as help me keep my sanity intact. She’s amazing with all her patients and takes the time to explain how everything works and why we’re doing it. I’d never take my pets to any of dermatologist. Fig and I are so appreciative of the thoughtfulness and knowledge she provides.

I would NOT recommend Dr. Globus as your pets dermatologist. She was an hr late to the appointment, she didn’t bring the immunotherapy that was promised for this appointment (blaming her error on her technician), she did not like it that I had a difference of opinion on some of MY dogs treatment plan, and she was very abrasive the two times my dog has had appointments with her! She lied to cover her error of forgetting the immunotherapy, brags about her PHD to try and belittle you, raises her voice when she is questioned, and slams doors when she is mad. Plus, the whole reason I went to the second appointment (traveled an hour) was to get the immunotherapy treatment because prior to going, I had already made an appointment with a different dermatologist because of my first experience with her. Please be warned!

Poor communication and incredibly rude. I have never had such a poor experience with a professional. During our initial call, she was scattered and had to end the call to call me back. She was completely unorganized and rude in future communications. Please look elsewhere if you have any other options.

My dog Molly has been suffering from chronic ear infections and itchiness for 4+ years. She has had multiple vet visits and said it was from her floppy ears and moisture. They said it was common for her breed (Shorkie). She was treated with ear drops that only treated the inflammation but not the underlying problem. I was recommended Dr Globus. If only we had known about her years ago, I could have saved my Molly years of misery. When she did her assessment on Molly I knew we were in the right place and she was gonna take care of my little girl. She literally sat on the floor with Molly making friends!!! Molly’s ears and paws were positive for yeast. She sent us home with a regime and a month later returned to the clinic. Molly is no longer having any issues and we are pretty sure the culprit causing her issues is the chicken in her diet. Dr Globus didn’t put Molly through allergy testing right off the bat and instead did process of elimination. In one month we had our answers! She is amazing and truly cares about our fur babies! She even took the time to call me half way through Molly’s treatment plan to see how she was doing. I highly recommended Dr. Globus and am very thankful for what she did for us! She fixed a problem we have been dealing with for years in just a month! Thank you Dr Globus and your team! 😊❤️

My dog Emma (Golden Retriever) has had seasonal allergy issues for about five years that would cause extreme redness in her ears and uncontrollable itching. I took her to numerous vets whom offered treatments, but never gave her a proper diagnosis. We came home one night to find a bloody mess all over the floor, Emma had hot spots on her face and had scratched it raw. That is when I finally decided to get her checked for allergies and found Dr. Globus at a nearby clinic in Golden Valley. She and Carol were immediately able to diagnose her and gave proper treatment for both the ear infection and yeast infection that had spread to her face. She was tested for allergies and based on her results, was given a cocktail specific to her needs. I have been giving her a small shot every week for almost a year as well as some topical spray when needed and the results have been amazing! Her ears have been clear for the past four months and although a couple hot spots came back, they were much less intense and I already had what I needed to treat them. Since visiting Dr. Globus, Emma has not scratched her face at all. After years and years of treatment with no real solution, I finally have hope that I can manage (and prevent some of) Emma's allergic reactions so that she isn't miserable every time there is a drastic change in the seasons (which happens often in MN). Dr. Globus and Carol are both wonderful and Emma looks forward to seeing them, even though it's less often now that she is feeling better. I can't thank them enough for what they have done to mitigate her suffering, she is finally back to her energetic self!
