How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Animal Eye Care

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.

Love love love this place! I brought my puppy to them with what we know now was cataracts. We’ve visited them routinely for 9 months and as they’ve watched my girl grow up, I’ve truly felt like they love her. Dr. Fisher always kept me informed and has very successfully restored my babies vision! All of the staff here are so welcoming and helpful with any of the questions you may have. I truly wish this could be my dogs routine vet and it will be a bittersweet goodbye when the time comes. They were very reasonably priced in our experience as well!

Our puppy, Macklin, was born with hair cells misplaced on his eye lid. Initially, the hair growing was of no issue to him. We attempted to have it removed via Electrosurgery by our local vet while he was under anesthesia for neutering but the hair regrew within 4-5 days. We continued to monitor until one day a new hair was growing backwards toward his eye and causing irritation. At this point, he was around 10 months old. Our local vet was afraid it could cause damage to his eye and referred us to Animal Eye Care Associates. Dr. Fisher then cut out the hairs and sewed up the incision. It has healed better than we ever expected and so far, more than 3 months later, no hairs have returned. Fantastic staff, vets and facility! Your animal is in good hands here!

Dr. Fisher and the staff are amazing. Adopted a cat that had a severe upper respiratory infection that left him with damage to his third eye lid. As you can see from the pictures, his eye is perfect now and he is able to blink normally. The staff was caring and understanding of the stress the owners/parents go thru and offered to let me call anytime to check on him. Thank you doesn't do it justice. We are so thankful your team was their for our Boscoe.

Animal Eye Care has been treating our Husky Roush for glaucoma for 2 years. This office staff and Dr. Fisher provide excellent care and a very loving environment.

WOW! This is all I can say about the staff and service at this Vet. They only deal with Eye issues for animals, but boy do I wish they did more. All of the staff was extremely friendly, and Dr. Fisher was very knowledgeable and took the time to really speak to us and explain the options. While I never want to visit again (since this means my pet has an eye problem) if I need to I know the care will be great!
