How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Premier Veterinary Care
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.

Love Dr. Cowan and his team. His realistic, intelligent, and supportive approach to not only our dog, but to my husband and I. We had to bring our furbaby (lab retriever mix) to have ACL surgery. He did an excellent job explaining the surgery, risks and benefits of the different surgeries available. This made us very comfortable trusting him to do the surgery. When we picked her up, the team had everything ready for us and helped us get her in our vehicle. Gabby is still recovering, but is doing well

I have had the fortune of knowing Dr. Cowan in his profession for the better part of two decades. In that time he has shown nothing but the upmost care, respect and nurturing love for our pets. From annual visits, emergencies and even the saddest part of having pets he has been a constant source of professionalism, support and advocation for our pets. I am so incredibly grateful for him and his amazing staff who share his same passion for animals. I would recommend him to anyone.

They were so kind and understanding. They worked me in when I showed up first thing in the morning with a very sick cat. Even though I had never been there before! The vet was so kind and when my cat passed away the whole staff signed a sympathy card and sent it to me with my cats paw prints. The staff who checked me in were kind, helpful, understanding and non-judgmental.

Your pet will receive the best care. Dr Cowan’s expertise, care, and compassion towards my pet is outstanding. The entire staff is friendly, clean facility, and the service is top-notch. I trust them completely with my pet's health and well-being. I highly recommend them!

Dr Cowan is wonderful! He sat at length and discussed the different options for our 10 year old dog. He was honest and told us that he didn't feel his surgery was the right one for her, and advised options that would take us down a path that would be more beneficial for the situation our dog has. Loved the thoroughness and calmness and the time he devoted to us. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM! I had interactions with 2 of his office staff members also, and they were helpful and caring as well!
