How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Pearly Bites Veterinary

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.

The team took wonderful care of our dog and did a fantastic job on her teeth. She was treated like a little queen and came home happy and comfortable. Highly recommend!

All of these five stars are for Roxanne and I would give her more if I could. When I found out about Pearly Bites, I knew I needed to take my 13 year old Westie here. Roxanne helped me determine that my boy has a heart condition and showed me so much kindness, support and guidance through this unimaginably difficult process. I did have to take my dog to another vet to address the heart concerns so while I didn't bring him to Pearly Bites, they took the necessary precautions and Roxanne went to great lengths to review and discuss my pup's exam results with me. She also guided me through the process and answered all my questions and concerns in the most supportive manner. Thank you for listening to me Roxanne and for being the light I needed. I will be eternally grateful to you

Took my newly adopted senior cat in for a dental since the shelter said he had some minor issues. (He needed 3 extractions.) The office is welcoming and immaculate. The staff was very professional. Great communication and followup. My boy, Dudley, got fantastic care at Pearly Bites! 💙

The team at Pearly Bites were amazing. I felt that all my concerns were listened to, taken into account, discussed completely and all options were laid out for me. We arrived together at the best solution for my cat, and since having the procedure done he is recovering perfectly. I can already see he’s changed, a little more playful and happier now that his mouth is much healthier. The transparency in cost was well appreciated. My primary vet provided such a wide range of costs for care, all of which were higher than the flat cost I paid at Pearly Bites. To have a good deal from a specialist, especially one as good as the team here is incredible. If your pet needs dental work done, look no further. You’re in the best of care with Dr. Livermore and her team!

My 10 yr old cat was suffering from bleeding gums and had a lot of tartar on her back teeth. We visited her usual vet for consultation and they exaggerated her condition and pushed for immediate dental work, which made me feel very uncomfortable. We came to Dr. Livermore for an initial consultation, she was very patient when listening to my cat’s condition (she had just gotten treated for hyperthyroidism), and was very detailed when explaining her findings of the initial exam and what she recommends. During the initial consultation, she showed that she truly cares about my cat’s dental health which is what made me book the dental right away. After the cleaning and extractions, Dr. Livermore was also very patient and detailed when explaining to me on what to expect for the next few days. The recovering process was tough but my cat pulled through. She’s a lot more cuddly and playful; it’s like she’s 5 yrs old all over again. I am very grateful for Dr. Livermore and her team. If your pet is not in immediate need of dental work, I highly recommend this place!
