How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Pet 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.

Katie does such a great job grooming our dogs. Our black lab is a bit fussy and scared at times and he always seems excited to go there. She is a dog whisperer i think:) Thanks for taking care of our 4 legged boys!

They're pretty friendly and very skilled and knowledgeable, they took great care of my cat when he was there for 2 days. But they weren't as attentive afterward, I left an after hours voicemail that never got returned but they always answer when I call during regular hours so no real complaints there. These guys are overall a pretty great practice in a beautiful building that's much bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside.

The staff is always so good with both of our dogs. Highly recommend if looking for great vet care!

My family and I have been loyal to Pet Medical for years. More recently, things have changed. Seems like they’ve lost their empathy and passion... I understand this is a very difficult profession but my pets are my life and if you can’t get back to me within a week for a reaction to a prescribed medication you prescribed, I’ll take my pets elsewhere. This has not been the first time in the last few years that they’ve not gotten back to us despite contacting them repeatedly to see if they got “around to it” yet. Sad.

Zero stars. excuses why they can't help . . basically I didn't call for an appointment before I knew I needed one. Didn't even try to fit in or see our dog with lyme disease. Didn't offer to check for next available appointment - I can call tomorrow and see if I might get one of the two slots they leave open for urgent care and I might be able to get in . . if I'm lucky. Dog's in pain and their help was to advise me to drive to Eau Claire to an emergency vet . . gee thanks. Why do they have so many good reviews, I can't even get past the receptionist who treated me dismissively.
