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.

Little did I know my dog was the 2nd patient on their opening night. I could not have been more impressed with everything. The entrance offers coffee and drinks for the pet parent and we were escorted into our private room. The vet tech took care of completing all of our information and was extremely nice and patient. We then met the vet whose exam was very thorough and I appreciated how she explained the results so they were easy to understand. I was offered extended services with no pressure and was able to stay with my pet the whole time. I highly recommend this office and am so happy there is now a nearby after hours option available for pet emergencies and/or peace of mind for the owner. They completely understand that our pets are our family 🩷

The receptionist was a total doll and got me in immediately. I walked in and was immediately put in a room. The dr. Amen in shortly after that, checked out my pup, we talked for a few minutes and was walking out the door. Very quick and knowledgeable. The consultation was a little higher than I expected, but it was last minute not to mention a Sunday.

I brought my dog here after an injury to his leg. I checked in online, and we had no wait at all when we walked in the door. Every staff member I interacted with was friendly and very knowledgeable. They took excellent care of my pup. Hopeful everything heals well, and we don't need them again, but so glad to know they are so close to home just in case!
