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

On May 28th I had to make the hardest decision I've made in my life. To put my beloved guinea pig to rest after he was in this hospital for 3 days. When I was holding my pet so the doctor could administer the needle into a hose attached to the iv..I realized it was leaking out. The doctor went and got the woman who attached the iv tube..she came in and Said "oh he chewed the hose just stick the needle right into the port" in an annoyed manner..how incredibly insensitive could she be?..To her maybe he was just another animal, but to me that was my baby she so nonchalantly spoke of. Afterwards I'm asked if I wanted a paw print ..I Said yes. They bring it out to me a few minutes later and my pets name is misspelled! I could barely speak because of fear i was going to start crying in the waiting room. They sent my pet to be cremated and Two days later I go to pick up his ashes .Well, they sent the mispelled name to the Regency Forest and I now I also have a certificate of cremation and name plaque for his urn with his name misspelled. They misspelled Potato..they put an "e" at the end. VMCLI made a horrendous event in my life even worse. It was a heart breaking , gut wrenching day to have to say goodbye to a member of our family..but those last actions made it also feel disrespectful.
