How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Southern 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.

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

I will start by saying, Terra Wells is stellar at this facility and the main reason we went to this vet. Being someone who has ptsd due to an autoimmune disability, Dr Wells was very accommodating and kind to me and my ESA dog, Captain and I so appreciate her. Unfortunately, the rest of the staff is not equipped and does not care to be equipped to deal with those of us with respiratory issues or autoimmune disabilities in the time of Covid by at least masking when they are just even in the small exam rooms with us. I had told this vet clinic about my situation when starting care there and Dr. Wells was kind enough to agree I’d be fine to come there. I regret the rest of the staff is not on board with Dr. Wells progressive care. I have moved to a vet that cares about my health and my dog’s. If you are in perfect health and have no worries about your health then this clinic is fine. If you’re older, immune compromised , have any co morbidities or disabilities, BEWARE.

This may be my second review, but this time I’d like to recognize SAH’s groomer Kristina. We have been taking our Golden Jack to Kristina now for at least a year and a half or so. He always comes out looking fresh and puppy-like and smelling amazing. Jack has coarse cottony hair for a golden so it’s difficult to manage in our own. Kristina always gives him a nice cut that is very manageable, but still leaving him looking like a Golden. Thanks Kristina, you’re the best!

First time grooming my pet at Southern. Stress free, fast, and entire staff friendly and pleasant. Kristina was exceptional in handling my dog who hates the grooming process and she did an awesome job!

I've been using Southern Animal Hospital for the past year or so since moving to the area. They have truly been wonderful. They are thoughtful, attentive, thorough, and gentle, and they take the time to explain what's going on and answer all of my questions. Plus, they're fast and on time, super responsive (email and text), and follow up to check in on how my pup is doing after a visit. I have no complaints!

SAH is phenomenal. The quality of care our pets receive is excellent and the entire staff is attentive and caring. They're sincere in their adoration of all animals and their desire to help them in every and any way possible. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone in search of a veterinary clinic.
