How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Skadron Animal Hospital
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. Tom Skadron is the absolute best veterinarian I've ever had. I feel like he cares about my dog's care just as much as I do. He takes his time with me pets and with me and makes sure I know what is going on and what my options are. They are the absolute best care people ever. The front office staff and tech staff are amazing too. I highly recommend them

Skadron Animal Hospital has the best team! I’ve worked with Dr. Teri for my guinea pigs and now I have a cat that loved meeting Dr. Keelia for our first appointment this week! I can definitely tell she’s a cat person and my cat loved getting pets and love. Thanks for all your hard work and love for animals!

My senior cat has been a patient at Skadron Animal Hospital for years. They never, ever fail us. I honestly don’t have a single complaint. They take such good care of my little bub. I’m so grateful. Their staff is compassionate, smart and the care they provide is thoughtful and comprehensive. I’m never left in the dark; they allow me (and encourage me!) to be an active participant in my pet’s care. And you can tell that they work really hard, from the front desk to the techs to the vets. That’s why I don’t always see a specific veterinarian — they’re all excellent. Also, vet services can get expensive quickly, no matter where you go, but Skadron’s pricing never makes me feel like I’m being taken advantage of. It’s always worth it. Our pets are our family, right? And Skadron treats them like theirs, too. I hope they stay around for a long time.

This is a great place. They know what they're doing and I trust them. We recently had to make the difficult decision to say goodbye to our dog of 8 years, and they were kind, compassionate, professional, and comforting. It really made a devastating experience much more bearable. We always see Dr. Heidi. She has some kind of magical power with Animals I swear.

I brought my puppy here last week for his first vet visit. I live a good 25 minute drive away and came on a referral from a friend. The whole drive there I was kicking myself for not picking one of the many vets close to my house. When I arrived I was greeted by friendly staff and took a seat in the waiting room next to sleepy kitties and bookshelves of pet-related books. When the vet (Dr. Abigail Clement) came into the exam room she sat right down on the floor to greet my dog. She spent the whole visit on the floor, petting my dog and gaining his trust, all while asking me questions and checking his ears, teeth, etc. When it was time for vaccines the vet tech came in and held my dog and I was tasked with feeding my dog peanut butter and cheese on a wooden stick, my dog didn't feel a thing. Skadron called the next day to check up on my pup and see how he was feeling. I am so impressed by all of the staff's true love for animals and professional care. I realized from the moment the vet greeted my dog on the floor of the exam room that the drive to Skadron over the years will be well-worth it for this incredible, compassionate care.
