How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Glenstone Veterinary 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.

We showed up at Glenstone vet because our beloved clinic closed and our cat Oswald had to have emergency surgery. The ER clinic sent us there for his day observation, and we were so pleased with Dr. Lea! She took the time to talk with us about what our cats needs would be now that we know he has a tendency towards urinary tract blockages, and she and her staff were very pleasant to interact with. We are planning to see them regularly with our little menagerie! Thank you all so much for taking great care of Oswald. His hunger strike promptly ended at home, he loves the new food, and he has resumed being the little terrorist we know and love.

I have been going to Dr. Lea at Glenstone vet for the last 2 years! I brought her my 6 week old puppy who had a terrible skin condition and she helped me treat it. That puppy is now almost 2 and has the most beautiful fur! Couldn’t have done it without her expertise!

I was happy with the service here. Louie feels better. Not shaking his head and scratching anymore. We will back for sure. This will be my go to vet.

I had my dog in for a first time visit today with veterinarian Karen Lea. This person could not possibly have treated us with less respect. I don't know what may have taken place there today before us? Maybe there's a reason for her behavior? She walked in no introduction reaching for the treats and throwing them in the floor never taking the time to pet my dog, or kneel down and let my dog smell or get to know her. My dog began to try and hide, and get away. No trust established. My dog is sick, that's why she was there. The condescending remarks and sarcasm was truly shocking. When I had seen and heard enough and began to intervene for my dog that was being chased around the room she asked us to leave. Never experienced anything like this ever.

Our little guy had his first appointment there today. We set up another appointment to get our other dog seen as well. Cesar and Scout are in for some great care. Thank you!
