How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Matthews Animal 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

We recently moved to Indian Trail and wanted to find a good trusting vet nearby. We are so happy we found Matthews Animal Clinic! The staff was so friendly and welcoming! Dr Barron was kind and patient. He made me feel comfortable about getting my little Yorkie Bentley in for a teeth cleaning. He will be going in a week for it! I’m happy he’s in good hands and I feel confident in Dr Barron and all his staff! Also the coffee was a major plus!! ☕️

Ozzy isn't the only one who loves Cicely and Matt Thompson! So do Dennis & Jill! We were recommended by another pooch that loves Cicely and we've never looked back. Our service is always expert, yet friendly and caring. Each person we see has the kind heart of an animal lover and they are just as kind to the people who come in their clinic!

Brought our almost 12 year old dog here for the first time, and we were every happy with the care he received. They let us wait in the car until a room was ready because he gets anxious around other animals. The staff was very nice to him and no one acted nervous like they had at our last vets office. The vet explained options for medications for our dog that the vet in the past didn't do. We were very happy with the care received, the staff and appointment availability. We will be calling soon to bring in our other dog.

I haven’t had to take my pets to vet in couple years. My cat had a uti and I was thinking surely the bill won’t be over $150. I was so upset and shocked when i checked out and paid $295. I was in a position where I had no choice. Unfortunately I know I will not be able to take my pets back. I can’t afford another payment like this. After speaking to my friends about this they said they encountered extremely higher prices at their vet too. However, all that being said, I must share that the vet and her associates that cared for my cat and did tests were very thorough and caring. My 5 star is due to the service, expertise and love shown to my cat. Yet, my shock of the cost is a 1 star due to my own budget limitations.

My cat, lulu, gets groomed here. Yup, my cat is a sassy princess, she loves going here and getting groomed. She always comes back happy and never stressed. I was worried about that since there are dogs there. But for a little while she was unable to groom herself. Which is why I started getting her groomed. But when she was better I stopped. She let me know she still wanted to get groomed. So we still go here and love it. Price is pretty good compared to most places that groom cats.
