How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Felines First 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

The employees were very calm, pleasant people. The facility was not only clean, but brilliantly decorated with hidden cat decals all over, giving the owners a little 'find mickey' to do while they wait. They were very good with my skittish cat, and even showed me how to wrap him in a towel so he can't get away from his medicine. I also noticed they have a lovely little play room for their overnight guests, and it was also very clean and full of things to engage and entertain. It's a relatively new facility, but I'm very happy. A great addition to the company as a whole.

Where do I start! Ok, here it goes! I was nervous for my babies. A new vet and we just moved and they have been through a lot and a week later I’m dragging them to the vet! Mom of the year! When I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and a welcome. I was taken back and the first thing I was asked, was if the kitties are friendly with one another. They are siblings. I was told to go ahead and let them out and explore! In the background they had soft music that made me relax and the kitties went on exploring a bit, but mostly stayed together. When the vet came, she went over everything, and I mean everything! I had questions, she had answers. She gave tips and advice. My babies did amazing and actually did better at the vet than they did getting into their carriers. When it was time to check out! I was thinking it’s going to be expensive because they are new and I was a bit behind on some shots! Oops! I was shocked at how reasonable it was and I even added something for the babies as a treat. I was definitely impressed with them and how smooth everything went. We even got little toys for the kitties! I left so happy and so relaxed!!!! I absolutely recommend this place for your little feline babies!

Long story short: We came first thing in the morning (unscheduled) with an emergency. The staff literally sprang into action and while they could not save our cat, their thoughtful care, love, and attention made a terrible moment a bit easier. They even sent us a condolence letter a few days later. I can not speak highly enough on their courtesy and professionalism.

I am so thankful for Feline First Vet Hospital. I have been calling around asking about prices to help spay a feral cat that has made my home here for 3wks. The lady, I didn’t get her name, but she was SUPER helpful & told me EXACTLY what she would do if she was in my situation. I am going to always call this place from now on.

Dr. Dail is amazing! Very knowledgeable in feline medicine, up to date with the newest training and protocols from the American Association of Feline Practitioners. Uses low stress handling and fear free practices in exam rooms. Only gave 4 stars because they do not utilize credentialed technicians and differentiate from assistants, which should be standard.
