How to Save on Veterinary Costs at The Pet Hospital

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

Now that the old, sweet dr is gone, her nieces have taken over and it's gone down hill!!! VERY rude and unprofessional!! They no longer do the "fear free" techniques where they take temps in the ear either. Absolutely DISGUSTED with Sarah's rough handling of my dog and attitude. It's like she'd rather be doing anything else and doesn't care. She also had an attitude of superiority and was ugly when I asked questions.

I can't praise this place enough. I took my dog, Bruno, there because he was ill. He was old and unfortunately we had to say good-bye to him. The doctor and others were so amazing during this time. Words can't express how much they cared. During the process, they kept us informed what was happening and were so compassionate. Today, I received a card in the mail from then along with his paw print and nose print. This was so not expected but made me very happy because now we have it to remember him by. Thank you so much and I would recommend them to anyone who has a pet and needs a vet. They are amazing!!!

Dr Christine Gibson, although retired, is the very best Vet I've ever known. She literally saved my fur babie 'Willie' when there was little hope for his recovery. It's very assuring that the Drs at the Pet Hospital on Gandy have two nieces of Dr Gibson. I'm sure that they were mentored by Dr Gibson who is THE BEST. One of my Italian Greyhounds will be having surgery next week and I am 100% confident that the surgery will have a good outcome.
