How to Save on Veterinary Costs at UrgentVet
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.

Incredibly thorough and kind. The staff was amazingly detailed in obtaining my dogs medical history, and wonderfully caring. They explained all treatment plans in full and even explained financing options, should it be needed. They even keep food and drinks in stock for you while they deliver quick and effective treatment to your furry little loved ones. 100/10, they turned a stressful experience into one worth sharing! (Pics are old, but thanks to UrgentVet, Cammy is close to being his old, playful self!!)

I had the best experience at Urgent Vet. My dog, Piper was not eating any food for 48 hours. Obviously very upsetting. We went to urgent vet and got in immediately. They took great care of Piper and I. Checked her temperature, weight, belly for aches and pains. Listened very carefully to what I had to say and made a diagnosis. She had licked something bad and gotten a bacterial infection. They gave her a shot and sent us home with antibiotics, prebiotics, and food for the next 2 days. Kind knowledgeable staff and great care. So thankful for this place and highly recommend.

Went in because my dog ingested spoiled deer meat the neighbor left out. Dog has 103.8 temp, vomiting, no stool reported yet, Shaking bad. We were leaving for vacation and didn’t want to wait for this to get worse. I do not believe they did a great job as a retired RVT. They gave pet an anti nauseous shot which they poked my pet 3 times to get this and part of the meds went on the ground. (Still charged full amount) Then they gave fluids and again poked the pet 4 times with wasting part of the fluids on the ground.( still charged full amount) I have a small 25 beagle who was not difficult. When she would jump from being poked with a 18g needle that was far too big the staff jumped and pulled it back out. It says affordable care. Nothing here is affordable, it would have been less expensive to go to the ER vet. I did not get prescribed prebiotics, probiotics, or antibiotics, or any bland EN. I had to send a picture of my dog’s stool to get antibiotics the next day. Which I asked for while there with the fact that she had a 103.8 fever and ingested spoiled deer meat with bacteria. I feel like for $850 a better treatment plan could have been in place and the fact that you poked my dog 7 times to give one injection and fluids.. who knows how many times with the bloodwork pokes. Probably digging around to find a vein. Also, the vet didn’t even help give treatment. Myself as the owner was asked to hold the pet. I didn’t mind, but for $850 you could do better. And no they were not busy. I was the last client of the night. My pet is also auto immune with spinal lesions down her back. The fluid injection site was lumbar back which made it very uncomfortable. The staff was aware of her auto immune and spinal lesions. Typical placement it between the shoulder blades for fluids. In our case that would have been better for the pet. The tech was super sweet and nice. We did enjoy her personality.

I had a great experience here. The staff were all so nice and assuring. I was seen right away. My puppy had a puncture wound on her throat and it looked really scary. They took such good care of my baby Stella. This was the first time I had ever been here. I have 5 dogs and 5 cats. So you can imagine how many times I’ve been to the Emergency vet office. While the Emergency vet is also great, this urgent care is better suited to our needs this time. The cost is less than an ER visit also. I highly recommend the Urgent Vet for when you can’t get your pet to their regular vet. The staff were all very knowledgeable from the Techs to the Doctor. Thanks guys! Stella is doing great. We appreciate ya’ll!

Fantastic vet! We have never heard of or been to an urgent vet before, and as first time dog owners we felt scared knowing we needed to take our pup somewhere and were anxious about the price tag. While it did cost us a little over $550 for a check up/blood work/meds that is so much better than an emergency vet would have been. The techs/vet were so personable and knowledgeable. They made us feel like our pup’s tweaked back was the most important thing. So glad to have this place within 30 minutes of us!
