How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Burke 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
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.

The Vets are remarkable and do wonderful with our pets. They talk to you, not at you and they listen as well. The staff is friendly, polite and professional. I'm glad (and my pups) that we found this clinic.

Dr. Linda and her staff are excellent! They go above and beyond to care for their animal patients (and their human families). She explains procedures, medications, nutrition, and all other relevant information in great detail and obviously cares so much about animals. We are so grateful to have found Burke Animal Clinic.

Dr. McMahon was very rude and judgmental. I think Gods opinion of me is much more positive than Doctor McMahon's opinion. I brought my cat there for a wound on his neck which has healed, but I really do not think that I needed to be treated in a harsh manner.And further more as a honest response to your response below, he did mention a treatment that I could not afford and besides my cat did not need it anyway since my cats wound healed and also what you call as Dr. McMahon's attitude as being direct, he was outright hateful to me and I am sure that I and other pet parents would not appreciate being yelled at which is what he did. Also if he was so much better than me instead of insisting that my cats ear's be cleaned which wasn't going to be helpful to my cats situation and he just did that to cause me to have to pat extra money just for the purpose of being a bully. He could have gave him something for pain or a topical flea treatment which would have kept him from scratching and making his would worse.

The price is fair but the service is really poor. The male doctor who only works on Mondays (Dr. Mark?) was really cold and rude. No one took time to explain what was happening or if my dog was healthy during his annual visit (was he under weight? last year our old vet told us his hips were showing wear- how are they now? any signs of concern?). He took less than 30 seconds to look at my dog's teeth and tell me that "serious" dental work was needed, a tooth needed to be extracted, and that the same tooth was cracked. No one stopped to ask if I had questions or tell me anything else about my dog's health. He didn't even ask if I wanted to schedule the dental work be done. He was in the room for what felt like only a few seconds. After the doctor left I told the 3 vet techs who were still in the room that the diagnosis didn't make sense since we had just tried a different vet a month prior and were told his teeth looked good (albeit a little plaque-y). One wanted to get a second look at his teeth and started to open on my dog's mouth to get a better look. When I noticed my dog starting to panic I had to ask her to stop several times before she finally did. The reviews were so good and I was so hopeful but really disappointed with the lack of consent, professionalism, and communication from them. We've requested our file be emailed to us and will be looking for a different vet.

I was able to get a last minute appointment early in the morning, which is great thanks to my work schedule. They were great and careful with our young kitten and even helped us with stuff to know regarding her. They wasn't pushy with tests and treatments, but went over what we could do with our kitten and went over a time frame for her shots. It was a good experience and I feel safe with them taking care of our kitten. Our kitten is healthy and happy.
