How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Petco Vaccination Clinic

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

They were very professional. I was truly surprised that they really gave her physical besides her vaccines.They treated my Dutchess with gentleness, she doesn't like getting on the table so the Vet sat on the floor to check her out and give her vaccines. Great!!!

This is the worse location for Vetco I have EVER been to. Vetco do better. These are clearly inexperienced vets who prefer dogs over cats. I tried telling them that she is scared and prefers when I hold her. But they just wouldn't listen. They ended up taking her to the bathroom so she wouldn't run away and when I said I wanted to go all 3 of them completely ignored me. I couldn't even see what they were doing to her in there. They took so long to get 1 out of 2 shots in. Terrible job. Vetco isn't the problem the three vets at this location are absolutely deplorable. In other locations I have worked with the Vet to hold my cat down and the Vet instructed me to talk as I did to calm her down. AND SURPRISE IT ACTUALLY WORKED!! When the 3 excuses for professionals at this location FINALLY came out of the bathroom and told me they could only do one shot. I again suggested me holding her. One of them said we can't let you do that because we dont want her to scratch you. I HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE. She is my cat, I know how to hold her. That vet even brought up an unnecessary story about a different customer, just to make it seem like I don't know what I am talking about. I have had my cat for 9 years. NINE. I know how to handle her and other locations know that as well. A disgrace, they definitely put Vetco to shame. They should get fired for pretending to know how to handle cats. Vetco needs to bring vets that can actually care for cats and that don't judge. That same vet said, "Why do I always get the bad cat?" My cat isn't bad, she is just scared, you just don't know how to handle cats because you clearly don't like them. An actual shame. Vetco do better at this location because your others have actual vets experienced with cats and their behavior. Just an FYI at the other location we got blood test, rabies, and 4 in 1 done in less time than it did for them to come out of the bathroom. And we did it all on the table designated for this in the store, with a vet that actually knew how to hold cats.

I had a great experience here at this petco using the vetco services, all of the staff are very informative. The vets assistants Brianna H did an amazing job and knew exactly what she was talking about when I asked her several questions about my puppies vaccinations. She was so helpful, the vet as well was extremely nice. I was also seen very quickly, my blue nose puppy and I will definitely be back !!

They indicate services on your sheet that they did not conduct. Came for a Bordetella shot and when I reviewed the paper receipt it said they conducted a full check up took temperature examined do when they did NOT. I want my slip accurate not fluffed. So I made them change it as my dog her annual checkup already from her vet.
