How to Save on Veterinary Costs at LoveWell Veterinary Services

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.

If I could give Dr. Nicole and her team 10 stars I would. I have a senior sweet Standard Poodle who basically is my reason for living. He has been showing signs of aging, slowing down, losing mobility, not eating as usual, not taking meds....I won't bore you with all the details. The exam was so very comprehensive-so kind, so thoughtful and thorough....I can't imagine going elsewhere for Zincs care. I will be telling all my clients about you and plan on having you care for not only sweet Zinc, but future dogs as well. THANK YOU.

Lovewell Vet has been a game changer for our pet health and behavior. With three different animals they’ve supported us tremendously since opening. Dr Nicole has helped support my elderly dog and make her feel well and spunky again finding an underlying infection and allergy. She has also cared for my younger dog and cat. They have been quick to treat my pets when dealing with emergencies, uncovering issues with both my dogs as well as giving me new advice on how to deal with problem behaviors. The team at Lovewell has a huge knowledge of what’s best for animals, and an intuitive understanding about why animals act as they do. I never feel rushed and they always take their time with us. Ashley who is the clinic manager always puts me at ease and truly cares about clients and patients!

Everyone at LoveWell was so helpful and thoughtful. They really worked hard to make the experience a good one for our dog, who normally gets very nervous at the vet. He had a great time and barely noticed the exam. They really went the extra mile to make a wonderful experience! Patient, caring, warm, and welcoming. I would recommend this place to everyone!

We just had our first appointment for our dog. He’s only been seen my mobile vets in our own home previously, but the setting is welcoming and homey and he was very relaxed the entire time. Dr. Nicole was wonderful and thorough. I look forward to bring our current dog and any future pets here!

While I appreciate being seen by then on short notice, the vet didn't appear to have a clue what my dog had. She prescribed some meds that a second vet said were not going to help in the slightest. On top of it she also gave another product passing it off as prescription and charged almost three times what I had purchased it for earlier that day at a pet store (before I saw her). In addition, the vet recommended a course of a tion which I expressed concerns about and asked about alternatives - which I was given none by the vet. She did not indicate she didn't know what was wrong nor did she refer us to someone who could actually help. Needless to say I am very grateful I was my own advocate and went through elsewhere to someone who knew what the issue was and how to properly treat it. Unfortunately the trip wasted at Lovewell cost about $300 for no help.
