How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Lyons Veterinary 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

We had such a great experience at Lyons Veterinary Hospital! The entire team from the Client Service Rep Megan to the Technician Jeff to Dr. Lyons herself were so kind and welcoming and professional! I have a little bit of a nervous dog and they were so patient and caring with her, she had no issues at all at her visit! I couldn’t recommend them more highly. So glad to have them in the community! 🐶💜

We had an amazing visit with Lyons Veterinary Hospital with our new puppy. Dr. Lyons and her staff are so kind, helpful and welcoming to new families. We’ve had quite a few questions, even with this being our second puppy, and Dr. Lyons is super patient and knowledgeable. We feel very lucky that they opened their practice in Summit!

Ever since we took Darby home, we’ve seemed to follow Dr. Rick Lyons wherever he went for our veterinary care. His bedside manner, attention to detail, and calming demeanor makes “going to the vet” a lot less stressful for both myself and the dog. One time, while on a family vacation, Dr. Evin Lyons (his wife) was able to speak to us via telemedicine and our experience with her was top notch. She carefully listened to how we described Darby’s symptoms, asked us great background questions, and was able to accurately diagnose the culprit (a partially eaten Avocado from the trash) some 500 miles away. The prescription was emailed within minutes and we were able to visit the local pharmacy same day; helping to get Darby back on the mend fast. Knowing that both doctors will be under the same roof AND are going to be local to us in Summit is such a relief as an owner, especially now that Darby is 5 and his best years are yet to come.

My son has a new puppy and needed a vet while home from college. After a ton of research, we decided to try Lyons. We could not be more pleased with that decision! Not only are both vets amazing, but the technician and office staff are great too! All are extremely good at communicating - both in response time and level of detail necessary. Our puppy was spayed and the procedure went very well, as did the aftercare. You know it's the right place when your dog is excited for the follow-up visit! The place is new and extremely clean (and beautiful). It's easy to get an appointment. Pricing is competitive or better. I highly recommend this practice!

I’m glad I brought my cat Rio here. We did not have a very pleasant experience the previous place we went to. But at Lions Veterinary hospital, the receptionists, techs, and veterinarian all listened patiently to my concerns and answered all of my questions. Also, I appreciated how the tests came back in just a couple days and they sent texts to update me. He is feeling a lot better! 😁
