How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Countryside Animal 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

Review by Jessica Luney- I decided to give CAC another chance even though I had a bad experience once. They are great now. We get along just fine, both doctors treat me and my animals great! Thank you for taking such good care of them and providing good education to what they need. My husband likes the care received for the cattle too. :)

I am switching vets as of today. I had a bad experience with the female doctor. She didn't catch what she should have in the exam. Ended up getting charged for the visit then had to take my dog back in today so the other Dr. Could fix it then was charged again. No thanks I want to add an update. Today about 2 hrs after this initial review I had a phone call. It was Dr mike from the clinic. I initially thought that he was calling to apologize etc. Instead he asked me why I had left a 1 star rating about his clinic and insulted his entire staff which i didnt do. He called instead to argue and try to demean me into feeling terrible that I had had a bad experience in the 1st Place. Ends up the female Dr was his wife. Very unprofessional of a business owner. Especially in a small town. Last year as well I called to get a refill of pain medication for my dog and the receptionist told me I would have to wait a week as the 2 doctors were in Alaska and wouldn't be back til then

Love this vet hospital. We have a lot of pets, and run a feline rescue so they see us alot when it comes to kitten season and all the spays and neuters we need to get done. They are reasonably priced and can usually get you in pretty fast.

Doc is super! He really showed compassion for our sick dog and did a thorough exam and testing to correctly diagnose his condition. Our dog was quickly feeling better because of this and we are very grateful for Doc and his staff! You will not find another vet office in this area that is any better! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
