How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Veterinary Cancer 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.

Dr. Kelley is an amazing veterinary oncologist. Our dog has a Sarcoma tumor in her neck and after surgery and chemo she's still a happy healthy dog going on 13 months now. Dr. Kelley is kind and compassionate and very knowledgeable in her field. We are so lucky she opened this clinic in Santa Fe. For those folks who had a questionable experience I wonder what they are comparing it too? Of course unfortunately nothing is perfect. I feel for your suffering but please check all the wonderful posts about the pet care from Dr Kelly and think that perhaps unfortunately you had an experience that you didn't like but has everything in your life been perfect until you saw her? I'm guessing no. Please don't turn others with sick pets away from the possibility of having their pet around for a few more years.

Please read before taking your animal to this facility! We took our dog to see Dr. Kelly on 12/8. This was based on tests forwarded by our regular vet and a phone conversation with Dr. Kelly. Per a phone conversation with Dr. Kelly we decided to treat our dog with electrochemotherapy and gave us a rough estimate of $2000 for the treatment. Dr. Kelly stated she had the test results from our regular vet and told us not to worry about anything other than taking care of our dog until the visit. My wife took our dog in on 12/8 as discussed. We had a noon appointment as is was a 3:45 minute drive from our home. To begin with they were 1:15 minutes late for our appointment. As the appointment began my wife was told they were going to run a couple more tests which she thought may have been standard procedure. A couple hours later my wife was presented a $2200 bill with no electrochemotherapy performed. What she was charged for was many additional tests and several "supplements" most of which contain the same nutrients that our in our dogs prescription dog food. My wife was told it was imperative that our dog was brought back the next week for electrochemotherapy. My wife was very confused as she thought that is what she was there for. I was on a flight home so she could not reach me to discuss. As for the required visit the next week, I began attempting contact Dr. Kelly on Friday 12/9 as again she said it was imperative that the dog be seen this week. I made attempts every day for 8 straight days to contact Dr. Kelly about this required visit and never received a response. I was able to get ahold of someone at her office and she told me everyone had quit so they were behind. To this date I have received no contact, test results, or any communication from her office. For someone that put on the appearance of being so concerned about the health of our animal I find this experience to be unbelievable. I will be contacting the New Mexico Board of Veterinary Medicine to file a formal complaint. Please protect yourself and your animals from being taken advantage of.

I love this vet, Dr. Kelly is amazing in so many ways, we come from Albuquerque just to see her, I value her opinion highly and greatly appreciate her knowledge, she’s one of the very few vets I can say is credible and actually cares about the animals. Will always recommend 100%

After seeing 5 different veterinarians, including 3 emergency vets over Memorial day weekend, not one could definitively figure out what was wrong with our husky who was having trouble breathing. One emergency vet started us on the right path with antibiotics. However, we decided to take him to Veterinary Cancer Care to get an ultrasound and an echo-cardiogram. Dr Kelly was able to diagnose Arthur as having developed pneumonia. She quickly was able to assess and treat him, and within hours he was behaving normally and breathing easily. He is improving each day since then. Thank you so much Dr. Kelly!!! On the same day other people told us he needed to stay in 24 hour critical care, you saved our dog!
