How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Obetz 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

Update: My Zoey had to be put down. I was treated with compassion and understanding by every staff member. I don't know who the rude receptionist was when I was waiting on Zoeys initial results but I'm not letting her lack of compassion bother me when everyone else was very kind there. Thank you to everyone who helped my family and I through this hard time. I'd give more stars for Dr. Jay had his staff not been rude to me. I brought my dog here because she was here before and I remembered how Dr. Jay sat on the floor with her the first time he saw her. Zoey is a 14 year old bulldog that is very loved. She was experiencing weight loss amoung some other issues. The staff and Dr. Jay decided to do bloodwork promising me my results the very next day. The next day at 9am I called the office to make sure they had my correct phone number. At 2pm I hadn't heard anything so I called to see if they had the results. The receptionist said they had her results and were waiting on Dr. Jay to go over them and told me they would get back with me. 45 minutes prior to them closing I called back. The receptionist told me he was still with other dogs so I asked if I would get an answer today she said she didnt know. I then told her that I was promised an answer twice by today before even paying the 300+ dollars to do so. She rudely snapped at me and put me on hold. I will remind her that this dog is my world. I had friends and family waiting to hear what was wrong with Zoey. If she can't understand the importance of the love that goes into a family pet she has no business answering phones or working with pets. Dr Jay informed me my dog is in kidney failure.

Dr. Waidelich is nothing short of amazing. You can truly tells she deeply cares! She got my old guy taken care of today! Her staff was wonderful and they were kind enough to get us in on short notice as a problem in my dog just started, and we’ll be traveling. For that I am so thankful. I would’ve worried about my sweet boy had they not squeezed him in. Also important to note they squeezed him in and he is a new patient! They went above and beyond and we are very thankful. Because we had such a great experience, this will be our forever Vet! Pricing was reasonable and fair In fact, it was cheaper than the original estimate. Highly recommended 10/10

OAH is one of the last honest to goodness businesses around these days; A true value for the care and compassion that they deliever. I acquired my Cat by way of their good Samaritan acceptance of an abandoned kitten left on their doorstep. They were kind enough to do a diagnostic checkup and subsequent treatment of my baby before I even got him! Since then, they have exceeded my expectations by providing the most friendly, honest and thorough service I could hope to receive. 10/10 recommend!
