How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Veterinary Dentistry Specialists

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 are so thankful to Dr. Adrian, and the entire staff for being so responsive and caring for our kitty Oliver, who has been through so much with his jaw. It’s a genuine, honest care and love felt the minute we walked into the office seeing our fur baby’s name on a welcome board. Though his procedure was put on hold, it was the right decision and was due to all the care and focus on Oliver’s well-being. We have a plan for a revisit and pray all goes well. We were left with a feeling of relief and faith in their care for Oliver, which is not always the case. We are so thankful to have VDS as a place we can go for dental needs for our cats and dogs. We highly recommend anyone who needs dental speciality for their special pet. Dr. Adrian is down to earth, kind, smart and technical. The set up at their location is so nice and well thought out for every patient. Thanks again for being so responsive and caring. We look forward to next steps with Oliver. Thanks for treating Oliver and us like royalty!🫅

I brought Royalty to this clinic today. The Queen, Cherry, wishes to leave this review. 📜 Royal Proclamation of Gratitude 📜 By Order of Her Most Gracious Majesty, Queen Cherry. Let it be known throughout the Queendom: On the 26th day of June, in the Year of our Queen 2025, Her Majesty did grace the halls of Veterinary Dentistry Specialists with her regal presence. Upon arrival, she was met not as a mere mortal feline, but with the full decorum befitting her station: — Her name, boldly inscribed in celebratory font. — Her royal sigil, the twin cherries, lovingly rendered in crimson chalk. — A staff of loyal subjects who tended to her with admiration, expertise, and great care. To the Royal Toothsmiths and their attendants, Her Majesty extends her most royal thanks for recognizing her sovereignty and ensuring her experience was as painless as it was prestigious. In recognition of this noble treatment, the Queen hereby bestows upon Veterinary Dentistry Specialists the honorary title of: Keepers of the Crown Canines and Guardians of the Royal Gums. May your halls remain spotless, your hearts kind, and your treats plentiful. Thus is her will. Thus it shall be. 🐾 👑 🍒

Words cannot express how grateful we are to the entire staff at VDS. I’d give them a 10 star review if I could. Our 18 year old Schnauzer-Terrier mix Griff was drooling blood and his vet thought he had one or more abscessed teeth. Due to his age, his vet and we were very concerned about him going under anesthesia. We are so thankful we found VDS. We met with Dr Adrian an hour after we called at 8 am and learned right away that Griff didn’t have an abscess tooth, he had a large mass inside his mouth on his cheek. Dr Adrian rearranged his day and prioritized Griff based on the seriousness of his situation, and Griff was in surgery by 2 pm that same day! My poor baby had been literally chewing on the mass while he was eating and we never knew it. We were so impressed with Dr Adrian and Dr Wendt-Hornickle. It was so obvious that they are the best in their fields. They explained the plan thoroughly with such care and honesty. We trusted them totally even though we just met them. Griff is now recovering nicely from his mass removal surgery. The followed up texts and phone calls after surgery from Dr Adrian and his staff are much appreciated by us. If your fur baby needs any dental/mouth expert help, please give them a call, they literally were life savers for Griff.

Guero was in a lot of pain when he tried to open his mouth. Primary vet assumed tooth pain and referred us to a doggy dentist assuming it was a dental issue and assuming we could save his young teeth. VDS called me ASAP and was able to get us an appointment promptly. They truly showed their sympathy and the fact that they cared. Upon further diagnostic (CT) they were able to tell it was not a tooth issue! They didn’t try to pull any teeth unnecessarily! I really appreciated that. The CT showed another issue that may need a different referral (another story but thanks to this we are headed in the right direction). Dr. Adrain talked down my nerves and answered all my questions. He made sure we understood what was going on. Every single staff member made us feel more at ease and were extremely nice and helpful.

From the moment the doctor came in the room, my dog loved him instantly which is unusual for her. He sat on the floor at her level and spoke with us. He explained everything in great detail including how his philosophy which is to address the current issues and set her up for future success. He answered all of our questions in great detail. I have a French Bulldog with not the greatest of genetics. I learned they are not able to perform the soft palate surgery. Her teeth are crowded in her mouth and she has deep face wrinkles. He took out 7 of her teeth (3 of them were fighting for the same space) and showed them to us. They were all tiny and thin teeth. They take before and after photos and x-rays. He explained everything he did and why in great detail. I appreciate this. The day after the procedure I could tell she felt better, the abscess in her cheeks was gone and the shape of her lips returned to normal. I highly recommend this dentist.
