How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Eclipse Specialty & Emergency Pet 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.

I work as a veterinary technician in both general practice and shelter medicine, and frequently refer clients to Eclipse as a primary 24/7 Emergency & Critical Care recommendation. Little did I know I would eventually have to follow my own advice for my beloved dog, Maggie! She was diagnosed with a pyometra at my practice and my family had to act quickly -- and Eclipse was my first choice based on my personal experience of hearing secondhand testimonials of satisfied clients and their overall reputation within the industry more generally. I'm so grateful to say that they 100% did not disappoint. The professionalism during the intake and subsequently that of the surgical staff was truly stellar. Dr. Kelly Kraus, our surgeon, gets a special gold star for her compassionate and clear communication. Each member of the team was accessible, knowledgeable, and kind with respect to unpacking treatment protocols, prognosis, or responding to any other inane question I may have had throughout our Emergency & Critical Care journey. Moving forward, when I make emergency recommendations for my clients, I know for sure from my now first-hand experience that Eclipse will remain at the top of my list as a guarantee in providing the quality of care they deserve. Thank you all! (and Maggie thanks you too!)

Thank you to Dr. Krause and the entire team at Eclipse Vet for helping us get our puppy back! Our vet neutered our Bernese Puppy Moose at the beginning of September - complications developed which resulted in a mishandled infection. We decided to bring Moose to Eclipse for their opinion and although we knew his situation was not good, we immediately felt relief with the care and attention he was given at Eclipse. We knew he was in the right place and it made leaving him there overnight for two days much easier. Their communication was exceptional. Moose needed another surgery and 2 more weeks recovery - but finally he is back to his playful and happy self! We are so grateful to Eclipse. We couldn’t recommend them more.

11 days ago on a beautifully mild evening leading up to Labor Day weekend, we took our 3 year old bulldog Bella for a short neighborhood walk that nearly took her life. After heavy panting and not being able to calm herself down, we brought her to Eclipse, where she collapsed at the door. It turns out she suffered extreme heatstroke, being admitted with 109 degree temperature. For 10 excruciating days, Bella was in the ICU, having 2 nights on a ventilator, plasma and platelet transfusions, oxygen therapy, IV everything (meds, catheters) and feeding tube. Had it not been for the incredible critical team of physicians and techs, we would have had a different outcome. There is no question that each person on staff at Eclipse played a role in helping Bella make a recovery. She is now home and has a little more recovery to do but we have our girl back. We are eternally grateful to doctors Davidson, VanHorne, Sande and Himmelgran. Additionally, the love, compassion and breadth of knowledge from techs Jaima, Brittany, Alyssia and Sean helped eased our fears. It goes without saying the entire staff helped us and Bella and we will forever be grateful.

I wanna say thank you to all the Eclipse staff especially Dr. Baez and Nurse Jess. Our Pineapple had wonderful treatments for his Lymphoma in this facility. He had extended his life for 1 year under Dr.Baez’s treatment. All the staff liked him so much. I believe Pineapple was the super star there. Unfortunately, Pineapple was gone at 4:00am on June 23,2023. But, I am glad he didn’t suffer too much in the last week of his life. I really appreciate all the Eclipses staff’s help and support.

I don’t leave many reviews but I had to share my amazing experience at Eclipse. Every single staff member went above and beyond when we brought in our cat Teddy with two injured legs. My fiance and I were so scared and panicked when he got hurt and all the staff from the front desk, to the techs, to the vet were all incredible at making the process efficient and keeping us all calm. They kept us informed at every step and made one of the worst nights of our life much easier to handle. Teddy is recovering so well now thanks to their excellent care and love for animals that really shows. Thank you Eclipse!!
