How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Lifetime Pet Wellness Center

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

Best place ever. All of the vets are great but Dr. Carlson is brilliant and incredibly advanced. He is a wealth of knowledge and the only person I will trust with my dog! He truly listens to you about your concerns and takes them into consideration when recommending treatment. I will go here forever and I recommend this place to everyone. I do things more holistically and having a vet that values that and doesn’t turn me away is huge. Rather you are holistic or not, he is awesome and pivots to each animal’s needs. Truly the best vet you could go to.

My pets and I love everyone at Lifetime. All of the vets and staff are very caring and work so hard. My pets have been seeing Dr. Laughman forever, and she is very intelligent, caring and patient. I have three little terriers, all with different personalities, and Dr. L knows just how to approach and care for all of them. She always takes time to answer questions. I completely trust her to guide decisions about my pets. The other vets are excellent as well, and I have no problem getting in to see them if Dr. L is not available. All of the techs and office staff are kind and good with pets, which is not something that is the case everywhere. It's important to know that your pets are treated well by everyone, and I have total confidence that my pets are living their best lives in part because everyone at Lifetime is so sincerely dedicated.

I started bringing my cats here this year. Dr. Tribuzzo is absolutely amazing. I've had to visit multiple times due to my cats being elderly with various health issues. Unfortunately one passed away earlier this year, but Dr. Tribuzzo was so comforting every step of the way. I always felt informed of all my options. On my most recent visit, I interacted Nathan the vet tech. He was so great with my very skittish male cat. I actually have never seen a stranger handle him so well before. His calm demeanor was amazing. I'll definitely be bringing all my cats back here for all there medical needs.

I have visited half the vet hospitals in Columbus before finding Lifetime Pet Wellness Center and it’s the best! I love the mix of state of the art treatments like cold laser treatments to improve healing, and the ancient art of acupuncture and Chinese herbs. Both methods have helped my dogs over the years and allowed me to provide them with the best vet care. I know more than the average pet owner having worked in a vet hospital, and the vets here know and respect that and never talk down to me as many other vets have done in the past. This practice was great for my reactive dog, getting us into a room quickly and being able to pay in the room is great- allowing us to avoid other dogs- which stressed her out. The hospital is always calm And running smoothly and is so much less stressful that the hospital we used to go to near home- to be Frank the reception area at our former vet was like a three ring circus and always set my girl off to a barking frenzy. I love everything about Lifetime Pet Wellness Center and recommend it to all my friends. I just wish it was closer to home. I live in Gahanna- but it’s well worth the drive! 5 stars from me and my crew!
