How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Lazy 5 Vets
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.

Fabulous care from Dr. Cary and the techs. They were incredibly patient and accommodating for my dog who is fearful of other animals. They were so sweet with her and listened to all my concerns with respect. Highly recommend!

I have been taking my two fur babies here since I moved to the Salisbury area in 2021. They have been very helpful and attentive to my dogs needs. I recommended Lazy 5 Vet to my mother when her dog was having an emergency and she had a great experience as well. I have only had one semi bad experience and that was I had taken my dog to be dropped off at 7:30 for grooming, I was the first one in the door and checked in but didn't leave until 8:10 because I was told to wait. Making me late for work. When I mentioned to the front desk ladies I needed to know how much longer so I could let my job know whether or not I'd be late to work, I was greeted with an attitude from the older, reddish, brunette haired lady. Which was inappropriate and made me feel bad as I am someone who is very patient and understanding in most situations. I work right down the road so I had plenty of time to make it with drop off being at 7:30 and I had done it before with no issues. The next time I came in the lady was pleasant with me. I won't ever forget though how she in particular treated me that morning. Other than that one time everything else has been great. They spend time with you to really let you know all your options.

As a client of many years, I have to say the doctors and staff at Lazy 5 have always been helpful, cordial, and professional in every appointment. Whether there for a simple task or the dreadful final day of a loved fur baby, I can count on them to friendly, consoling, and helpful in any situation.

Absolutely the best experience, they got us in for an urgent visit as a new patient. They were all very kind and Dr. Shull was amazing. She walked me through all the options and was very honest and upfront with everything. So thankful we found her!

Dr Shull is personable and compassionate to both owners and their pets. Wonderful experience and we will only see her for my our babies. I am always very impressed at her bedside manner and clinical knowledge.
