How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Four Paws 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

Dr. Justin Marlow is a well trained experienced vet with an enormous heart. My cat and dog are always well behaved for Dr. Marlow because they must sense his sincerity in caring for them. The staff at Four Paws go above and beyond to make every visit end on a positive note.

Dr. Marlow is by far the best Vet I have ever been to. Four Paws has been such a good place for my dogs Marley and Kobe - a true blessing! Dr. Marlow is compassionate, crazy knowledgeable, and very welcoming. I have been going to Four Paws on and off since 2016 (because I moved and came back) when he did extensive work on Marley for teeth that needed to be extracted and his fluid filled sac drained from the issue. Fast forward to 2022, I have never had problems with the area again and his recovery was fast. I just took him again to get a teeth cleaning, blood work/ physical work-up, and one extraction. Marley’s teeth are sparkly clean and white. Dr. Marlow’s staff is always friendly, organized, and thoughtful. Jackie at the front desk is awesome! Anytime my dogs have had work done or given a medication, they go out of their way to call and make sure they are doing well. They are always on time, affordable, very clean, extremely professional, and super loving! The vet techs and the vet know exactly what they are talking. You can be sure you're in good hands.

I am so angry I have to share this review. Support staff are wonderful. I took my animals there since it was taken over from Dr. Phelps. I took my sick cat there in July because she wasn't eating. He said it was allergies & gave her convenia & steroid shots. She didn't get better so 10 days later we went back. Same diagnosis & more shots. I took her to VMCLI who were so over-crowded with one vet on duty who told me she was jaundiced. (I was never told that by Four Paws) I took her back to Four Paws who finally did blood work & told me she had deadly anemia but he could treat her. One week later I put my sweet, suffering little girl to sleep. Now I have a hole in my heart that can never be fixed. If your pet is not getting any better don't walk out RUN!!

Mr. Coco loves everyone at the clinic and that’s all that matters. I had an awful experience trying to get the best treatment for him at another vet in Babylon. I decided to come here and never looked back since! He’s the healthiest he’s been in all his 13years. Thank you Dr. Marlow and staff!
