How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Steptoe 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.

The entire staff here is fantastic! I have a very anxious rescue, Prudence, and was so happy to see the vet knew exactly how to approach her without frightening her. They were even kind enough to squeeze us in for our other dog's vaccinations despite not having an appointment.

I had my Nubian/lamancha goat scheduled for castration, I was trying to load him and he attacked me. I left a message with Strp Toe, that I wouldn’t make my appointment because Warrior had attacked me. I got a cal back from Doc, and they helped me get him there and back. I am very appreciative to this Vet Clinic. They’re dang good people . Thank You Step Toe Veterinary Clinic for amazing service ! Enjoy a pic of Warrior , and his Daughter Valentine Princess Warrior . 🌻❤️🌻 He will no longer be making babies 🙄

Was out on vacation when my 1 year old puppy split his dew claw straight across about 1/4" from the fur line. It wasn't bleeding but he was favoring it and the nail was only hanging on by a little bit. Got great advice from the vet on the phone and set up an appointment for the next morning to clip off the hanging nail but about an hour before the appointment he managed to get the nail off himself. Called in and the receptionist cancelled the appointment without issue. Will be going back again for future issues for sure just from their professionalism and support over the phone!

There isn't enough stars available, I couldn't of been more impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. I had a after hours medical emergency with my dog and he was the only one that called me back. Latter I bought in my dog again for a routine exam and again I was very pleased.

Steptoe is the vet every animal needs!! We are fairly new to Ely and unfortunately we have had terrible luck with our pets, within the last 7 months we have made 5 visit to Steptoe and only one of those visit was planned. Needless to say we have grown very close to the staff at Steptoe and we couldn’t have ask for better people when it comes to caring for our animals when they are in need. All 3 of the vets are welcoming, knowledgeable, and supportive when it comes to making hard decisions. TJ, the receptionist always has a smile on her face and is ready to help whenever needed. All of the vet techs/assistants are amazing and so gentle with our babies. Steptoe has changed my mind about vets because they are not your typical vet, they are so special to us and our pets and we could not be more thankful to have such a wonderful team in such a small town! THANK YOU STEPTOE!!
