How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Allenwood Animal 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
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.

I've been going to Allenwood Animal Hospital a little over a year with my four dogs, 3 of them seniors who have serious health issues and need frequent monitoring. (Wesley 15 years old, Olivia 13 years, Bree 5 years and Brandy who would have been 15 years old and recently passed away). Dr. Murillo and Dr. LaPaglia took over with their health care without hesitation. Olivia has severe liver disease and sludge in her gallbladder and Wesley has kidney disease. Bree had her yearly dental and when I picked her up, Bree looked and smelled like she just came out of the grooming salon and they even blow-dried her hair! She was so well taken care of! Dr. Murillo and Dr. LaPaglia are so compassionate, knowledgeable and honest. Everyone at the front desk Amanda, Melissa, Jessica and Tracey have all been so welcoming and kind. All of the Veterinary Technicians/Assistants are truly wonderful and caring. They have also been so helpful in administering subcutaneous fluids to my dogs. I will always be thankful to everyone at Allenwood for all your kindness when Brandy passed away. You knew how very special Brandy was to me and how much she was cared for and loved. I miss Brandy so much and she holds a special place in my heart. I have been to Allenwood Animal Hospital numerous times over the year and can attest to the excellent care Dr. Murillo, Dr. LaPaglia and the staff have provided for my four dogs.

I've taken my dogs here for years. Last year our lab boxer mix was diagnosed with adrenal Cushing's disease after an already difficult year with multiple health issues, many tests, and a surgery. It's typically an expensive condition to treat because of the medication and a lot of necessary repeat blood work follow up. Due to the cost, it just wasn't possible. Thankfully Dr. Lapaglia presented us with an alternative Chinese herbal treatment plan to consider. We had nothing to lose by trying. Our 13 year old dog is still with us, and most importantly- still enjoying his life. Had it not been for Dr. Lapaglia's training in this medicine, we would have never known it was an option. Furthermore, because we opted into being care club members, we pay one monthly fee for all of our dog's preventative care. Our dog is frequently at Allenwood Animal hospital because Cushing's causes a susceptibility to infection, and I don't pay for his exams. We are saving money and we still have our best friend. The entire staff treat us and him like family and we couldn't be more grateful for all of it. Highly recommend, especially for Dr. Lapaglia's extensive knowledge in both western and eastern medicines. I can't thank them enough.

Called them early on New Years Eve morning to request an appointment for our dog who was sick and our normal veterinarian was completely booked. Left a message as they weren’t open yet and received a call back promptly; they were able to schedule us in later that morning. Was greater by a super friendly staff that was compassionate, caring, understanding and knowledgeable. The staff and doctors took great care with our dog and explained their findings and discussed treatments. They had all the medications there as well as a little store for pet food and supplies. We are so grateful to the staff Allenwood Animal Hospital for the care that they gave Marvin. We will be using them moving forward as our veterinarian! Thank you again AAH!!
