How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Aardvark Animal 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.

I can't say enough good things about Aardvark Animal Hospital and especially Dr. Kate Davis and her vet tech. We moved to the area with two senior dogs. We didn't go many times before it was time to say "see you later" to our sweet Ellie. Going to the doctor or vet you develop a sense of trust with your provider, and again since just moving to the area we didn't really have that opportunity with Ellie. However Dr. Davis acted as if she'd been seeing Ellie her entire life (15 years). She knew her chart, she loved on her, she is extremely personable and HONEST. I immediately felt comfort with her. She and her vet tech did not rush us, walked us through the procedure and provided the most respectful care to our girl. These people care! It's not a rush to get you in and out but they actually take the time to consult you. A week later, we got a handwritten card expressing their sympathies for our loss. It's the small things that matter and Aardvark goes above and beyond to deliver on the small things too. If you've read this far and are still on the fence about booking an appointment.... do it! Your fur baby will be treated with the best care.

Our cat was able to be seen on the same day as his urgent need. The entire staff shows concern and compassion. The veterinarian was personable, explained all options, and answered all questions. I was particularly surprised and happy to receive a follow-up call from them a few days later to see how our Nugget was doing! Great people!

I have taken both of the young dogs here for nail trimmings, routine exams as well as for vaccinations and every time they have been a wonderful group of people. They are patient with my dogs even go as far as to comfort them when my dogs show hesitation during their exams. It was only recently that I had to go the extra step of having lab testing done for one of the dogs and even this process was treated with care and loving attention not only for my dog but for me as well. As a dog parent I felt just as nervous as my baby but the staff is very understanding and had taken the time to talk me through it. I have not felt any pressure to make decisions and have been provided with any and every form of documents and verbal communication that I've need. I thank the team at Aardvark for there care and support.

Our boys love their vet. Well when they first walk in they are nervous but they warm up to everyone quickly. We have seen almost every vet in there for their normal check ups, allergies and what not. Everyone in there is great and they love our boys as much as we do.

Aardvark Animal Hospital is wonderful! My dog Tubby has had very attentive care and the staff is very willing to help. His boarding experiences were also very good. Aardvark is the only place I would take my special dog.
