How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Alternative Veterinary Therapies
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.

Archie has been paralyzed since January of 2023. We have been coming to AVT since the beginning and he’s greatly improved. He was receiving weekly acupuncture treatments with Dr. James. We have since incorporated hydrotherapy into his treatment plan and he’s doing wonderful. He now has PT weekly with Patti and Jenn The staff is all very wonderful and compassionate. I highly recommend AVT.

I honestly cannot say enough good things about this practice and everyone who works there. I have been going there almost 2 years now and at the time my dog was having a hard time walking 1 mile. He is a big rottie with lots of joint problems. In this 2 years he blew out his ACL but his recovery was so much better than I anticipated due to all the alternative therapies he was getting! He has aged in reverse, he walks and acts like he is 2-3 years younger. He does the underwater treadmill with Jenn and that is by far his favorite part, well ok the chicken pops are the favorite but then his "fun work" with the underwater treadmill. It might take a bit to get a initial appt but I will tell you it is totally worth it-I waited 6 months and so happy I did! Everyone at this practice from Dr. G, vet techs, office staff and even scheduling staff is so nice and accommodating

My dog gets acupuncture here. They are great. The doctor takes her time and really helps my girl to make her comfortable. Highly recommend them

Having little experience with alternative medicine, it’s hard to gauge the quality of the services provided; however, I can say that Dr. James and the techs are friendly, gentle with my old pup, and happy to share their knowledge and approach to treatment.

All staff are compassionate with the wellness of my pet. Benji had acupuncture and physical therapy and they gave me exercises to do with him. He is doing so much better.
