How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Westside Animal Hospital
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.

Westside has been there for us at anytime Frankie needs something. I have never been with a vet office so caring, understanding, compassionate, and flexible with scheduling. They have done everything they could possibly do to take care of him for not only routine care, but also 2 different emergency situations. We brought Frank in on Thursday due to a nightmare emergency situation. They immediately started critical emergency care to stabilize my dog. Not only that, but they took very good care of me. They brought me a cold, wet towel to put on my neck, unlimited water, and an employee donated a rice crispy treat for me to eat because I was probably about to faint from shock and stress. I will never bring my animals to another veterinary office. We love everyone there. Dr. Murphy and his staff are the best there is. He's honest, full of knowledge, and so compassionate towards animals and their families. And clearly the staff shares these same values. Not that money matters, but their prices are very fair as well. The facility is so clean, beautiful, and well taken care of. Thank you, Westside Animal Hospital for all that you do. From, Frank and his family.

West side animal Hospital is a wonderful . Dr. Rennie truly loves animals and her job. She has tremendously helped our 12 year old labrador, Molly, with anxiety, depression, and her ability to walk. The technicians that assist, Dr. Rennie, Roberta, are also wonderful, friendly, caring people. The ladies at the front desk are considerate, caring, and accommodating. The facility is extremely clean. I highly recommend West side animal Hospital to others.

I had just moved back to Rochester and was desperately in need to see an internal medicine vet for my bulldog, I was able to been seen quickly by Dr Murphy and then Dr. Koch that week. Since then they have both been very involved in my dogs care, always allowing me to take Theo in with whatever issue he has. I couldn’t recommend them enough! The office is always clean, everyone is always nice (even though my dog is very reactive) and I’ve always been treated well there
