How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Fairview 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.

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.

I have too many great things to say about this practice. Both Dr. Norris and Dr. Jordan along with their incredible team made me feel immediately welcome given our scenario. Our dog was hit by a truck a few months ago, leaving him with one broken foot and another dislocated hip. They were able to schedule him pretty quickly for surgery, and he is now at home safe, sound, and tired. On top of that, the prices were affordable. When our accident originally happened, we were quoted astronomical prices elsewhere that seriously had us considering if we could even keep him around (thinking about it breaks my heart). But this practice charged me MUCH less than the other places, making our dog's surgery a financial possibility for us. Without this place, I don't even want to think about where we might be. I am so grateful that Fairview Clinic exists, and if they were closer to me, I'd switch to them as our animals' primary vet in a heartbeat. If you're still considering going here, just do it. The entire team from front to back is the BEST, and I've never had such an incredible experience with any vet.

My little Sammy has been a patient at Fairview since I took him for his first checkup when I got him from the breeder. When we went in last week for his checkup, we had such a wonderful experience with Elijah, the PA, and Dr. Norris. They both understood Sammy’s anxiety and both sat down on the floor with Sammy while we were discussing his treatment plan to help Sammy when he goes for grooming. I highly recommend this veterinary practice for any of your pet’s needs.

They treated my dog like she was their own. From reception, to care, to very clear instructions on how I would provide good care for her at home. You will love these people. I rarely write reviews because I expect good service where ever I go. They will exceed you expectations.

New remodeled and now offers more online services; but still provides the same great services for our animals. A local gem. I trust all three of my fur babies to their care. Bella approves this message.

I'm so grateful to have found a vet that truly cares about my furry friend! 🥰 Dr. Norris and Sara went above and beyond during our appointment today. They even sat on the floor with my pumpkin for over an hour! It meant the world to me that they took their time and made sure my little one felt comfortable. I feel peace today knowing i finally found somewhere after 8 yrs that will help us. #CompassionateCare #AboveAndBeyond #BestVetEver
