How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Vetco Total 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.

My beloved cat Emily died with no appropreat treatment in this clinic by Mrs Roth. During a few weeks she did not provide any treatment though my cat had increasing inflamation which eventually turned into kidney failure, generalized sepsis and death. What was done by her is endless tests and waiting for results. In the meantime my Emily was slowly diyng! Please, think twice before you go to this clinic, if so closely monitor everything has been done, have second opinion and act immediately! Dont wait! Dont make my mistakes and maybe you can be a good pet parent, not like me who couldnt force vet to do his job and treat sick cat. Now Im initiating lawsuit with my lawyer and complaining to Vet Licensing board New York to make investigation and and find out if Mrs Roth was acting professional and if her actions or absence of necessary actions lead to my Emily's death. I attach my Emily's last foto made at vet ER. She passed away a few minutes later...

Will definitely recommend this place to everyone. Nia greater us with a warmth smile and made sure that we are comfortable and so is my fur baby while we wait to be seen. Ursula the nurse vet and Dr. Roth was so nice and very pleasant. They all really made sure you get the treatment you needed.

Petco on Ave. Y and E 17th street. NIA and the Veterinary assistant JESS were great. Very helpful and caring. NIA especially helped me understand what was happening every step of the way And made wonderful suggestions.

The experience was amazing beginning to end. The receptionists was very welcoming. The male nurse was very kind and thorough with reviewing pricing for our comfort and the vet was extremely knowledgeable. I have never been to a Vetco and has the best vet experience ever (I’ve visited 7-8 different vets in the last several years).

Amazing Vet/Petco experience. The assistants were very friendly and reassuring. The doctor was super nice and informed us about everything that was needed for our 6 yr old cat, Sora. Petco Vital Care was useful as they also waived the entire fee for the initial Wellness Exam. Would recommend to other pet owners for a quick and helpful visit!
