How to Save on Veterinary Costs at PET DEGREE
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

Giving this place one star is giving them credit. They misdiagnosed my dog due to this back and forth time that was wasted my furbaby had to be put down. I had to take her to another vet it took them 5 min that I would have 1 or 2 weeks with her. If she was diagnosed properly I could of took her to PA to remove the tumor. I would think twice about taking your beloved pet to this place if they're ill. I wouldn't trust them with a house plant let alone one of my pets.

The only people who genuinely care about our pets. Cheapest vet we've been able to find and they get us in as soon as possible during emergencies. Every single staff member is absolutely amazing, we're beyond greatful for Pet Degree.

Wouldn't trust this place to provide adequate care to your fur babies. They had numerous chances to help my dog get better but it took me to advocate for certain testing for it to get done, and they seem to do the bare minimum, considering their were more tests they could do. Now that we're going to a trusted family vet my fur baby is getting all the necessary tests and we are going through the process of elimination to determine what is the cause to the issue. This vet clinic advised if this last round of meds do not work that their isn't much else they can do. This is completely wrong and I am so glad my furbaby is no longer going there.

If you love your pet, I suggest you find a better place to take them. Our poor 6 year old girl was diagnosed with diabetes, she spent 2 nights there in critical condition and then released to us...still in bad shape. We had to force feed her (baby food) after 2 weeks at home of this tournament, she got very sick again throwing up not drinking water. I called 3 times, finally went there and they said someone would call but of course they didn't. Today I went there crying and screaming, they said oh bring her in she needs iv's...I said no way and send her information to a new place. Unfortunately after going back and forth with treatment (3 weeks and over $2000) our baby was so bad we had to say goodbye and put her down. Please, please do not take your fur babies there! We are completely destroyed.
