How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Dryden Animal 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

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.

I absolutely love this vet and all his workers. I will not take my precious little pepci anywhere else. They are all so special and so very caring

This morning started like any other morning getting home from a 12 hour shift. I quickly realized that it wasn’t like any other when our Labrador turned her nose up at her breakfast and instead wanted outside. I then watched her trying to pee for approximately 15 minutes to no avail. After calling my husband at work, I made phone calls for what seemed like hours. We couldn’t get her into even an emergency clinic in Syracuse as they were either no longer in existence or closed. We headed south, thinking we were bound for Cornell. We realized by the time we got to Cortland that she was much worse. I called every vet I knew in the area that had any mention of emergency care on their websites. We did get some referrals from those offices. Dryden Animal Clinic was our last try before we made the full trip. My husband went in and was greeted warmly by the receptionist. After explaining her symptoms, they took her right in. We then met their vet technician, Lauren, who was knowledgeable and wonderful with our girl. In half an hour time, she had been diagnosed and a plan was in place. We cannot thank the staff in this office enough for their kindness, accommodation, compassion, and their quick diagnosis and action. It was much easier leaving her there knowing the capable hands she was being left in. She is out of surgery and doing great. We will be using them for our routine vet care for all of our dogs moving forward no matter that it’s an hour drive. They truly have gone above and beyond for our family today and we could not be more thankful than we are at this moment. Thank you all for everything you do!!!

The unprofessional staff takes the focus from an awesome vet and turns the experience into a circus. Today, I called. I was hung up on.
