How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Sandhills Animal Health Center

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.

We travelled to the area for several days over the Christmas holiday and forgot our (old) pup’s heart, liver and cancer medications at home. Jaycee worked with us, and our local Vet, to get all of his medications together in one day. She coordinated the multiple prescriptions across two different pharmacies. Her professionalism and kindness helped to relieve our stress and gave our family the peace of mind we needed to enjoy our remaining time with loved ones. Thank you for your time and kindness to make it happen!

They are nicer to my cats then I am; and I like my cats. So go here for all your animal repair and maintenance needs.

My husband and I were staying in the area 7.5 hrs away from home hunting with our older German Shorthaired Pointer(GSP). Right before bed our 5 month old GSP started doing this atrocious non-productive cough. We tried to wait it out until sunrise but it kept getting worse and he started vomiting. Dr. Ashley answered our call and met us at the clinic for an emergency visit. We were so thankful being so far from home and our local vet. She provided outstanding care for our little guy and got him all fixed up. He is not 100% today but healing. We highly recommend this vet and Dr. Ashley! Thank you for your care and dedication to animals!

It goes without saying, every summer while I'm in the area training my dogs, I have some urgent medical need. I can always depend on this clinic to get my animals in. Thanks, Sandhills Clinic staff!

We love the whole crew here! Chere’s done everything from iv’s on my little toy Aussie and caring for our wide range of small animals to a very successful c-section on our heifer. Everyone cares so much about your animals and knows them by name. Highly recommend!
