How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Walden 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.

Was on vaca and accidentally forgot a med for our dog. We called to see if the vet would call in a Rx for us at a local pharmacy. Called twice, spoke to ppl in the office but they couldn’t tell us if the vet would call it in for us. This is a Rx the dog will be on for the rest of her life. It’s for glaucoma so it’s not like there could be an abuse of the med. never got an answer that they would call it in. Vet never called us back and the staff just kept telling us they didn’t know what he would do. This is not the first time I have had challenging service from them either. Our dog had an appt 3 weeks ago that we are STILL waiting for an update on despite numerous calls to them I still can’t get a straight answer as how to proceed with our dogs glaucoma diagnosis. We stayed with them because we really like the part time Vet on staff but the owner that makes the policies is absolutely awful. If you are a working family that needs a vet that works with you and follows up on what they say they are going to do, then this is not the vet for you. Utterly disgusted

We have three dogs that we boarded while we went away on Vacation. The people that took care of them were awesome! Especially since my dogs have to take medication. They made sure our pets were happy and comfortable. Picking up our little friends they didn’t want to leave because they kept running back towards the building they stayed in. I will definitely be bringing my dogs back here the next time I go away. I am extremely impressed with how much care was given to them while I was away.
