How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Wayne Veterinary 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

This vet is the worst! The vet has zero knowledge about cropping corsos, even though he claimed to have alot experience. No follow up, horrible customer service and ,no accountability. I have to now get them recropped by a experience vet. This veterinarian charged 6k for 6 pups and this is the last time i will use him for ANYTHING! ON TOP OF THAT, TRIED TO BLAME MY WIFE FOR HIS INCOMPETENCE ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY AND ARROGANCE BEYOND MEASURE. I wish i could post a picture! Plus my pups came back with fleas and kennel cough. Got my puppies looking like bats. Smdh dr silver! This is show crop? On what planet?

Dr. Silver cropped 6 of our Cane Corso puppies' ears. We spent $60 per puppy for a consultation to ensure he could do "show crop". I repeatedly and specifically asked for show crop. I showed him pictures of our adult corsos, now and as puppies. I specified numerous times, even using his own chart that I was presented with, that we wanted show crop. I addressed several concerns after surgery with the front office staff, as well as the technicians there who brought our puppies out and was told I would have to make an appointment to see the vet again. I ONLY saw him for the consultation. I asked if this was normal, to not be able to see the vet after surgery, they said yes, not without an appointment (and paying more $ after the approx. 6K we already paid.) I guess the surgery and post op visits did not count as appointments. I called and emailed the office to give Dr. Silver a chance to rectify the incorrect crop or to offer some sort of solution. The doctor himself called me and said he did what I asked and blamed me for miscommunication. I don't know how much more clear I could have been. After he refused to offer any resolution, I brought them to another vet who said she has never seen anything like what Dr. Silver did to our corsos and said our puppies looked goofy (an understatement). Please save your dogs and yourself the stress and money this vet has caused us, and go to Riverbank Vet in Kinston, NC. Please see pictures below.

I did not even realize they were here and not too far from my home until this morning. I had a prescription cat food crisis of my own making this morning (running out) and it was not their crisis, since my cat is not their patient yet. They helped me figure it out. The prescribing vet was too far for my available time this morning (but they were amazing too). They sent a prescription to Wayne Veterinary Hospital for me immediately and the WVH team of 4 amazing and hardworking women at the desk with me made sure I got taken care of. They were great listeners, and even though working and very busy, they were friendly, supportive and warm and welcoming. I think I have found my more local vet. They are not too far from me and they all clearly love the pet family members they see and were interested in who mine were. My "ancient" orange tabby and my "ancient" German Shepherd will be well cared for here to keep them comfortable for the rest of the time they give me when they need the care if called for. I feel like my crisis this morning, desperately needing the cat food, led me to a beautiful resource to help me love my pet family members.
