How to Save on Veterinary Costs at PAWS Veterinary Urgent Care
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.

Our dog was not putting weight on her back leg. We brought her in and were in and out in an hour with X-rays and sedation. The staff was wonderful and Dr. Bonfiglio is great! Pricing was very inexpensive compared to other emergency vet experiences. Thank You PAWS!

Just had a wonderful experience at paws veterinary urgent care. My vet was not available for several days and they recommended this place. I was very impressed by their professionalism and kindness with my sweet cat Luna. Normally, she absolutely hates vet appointments, but with paws she was a total angel thanks to the gentle handling they did. Would recommend, especially because they accept walk-ins which has become increasingly hard to find in Columbus. I was also glad that they had x-ray machines on site to help with diagnosing my kitty.

My 1 year old cat, Lyra, had a decreased appetite and couple episodes of vomiting over the weekend when her GP was closed. I didn’t feel like the problem was a true emergency but I didn’t want to wait for her GP to open since she was uncomfortable. It was easy to join the online waitlist which had a fairly accurate wait time estimate so we could stay at home until it told us to make our way to the clinic. I was also able to call and make sure it was okay to give her gabapentin for anxiety since we were able to wait at home. Once there, we were immediately shown into a room which had Feliway plugin pheromone diffusers, quiet calming music, and a comfortable couch for us both to sit on. The history was taken in the room and I mentioned that Lyra would have more ‘kitty minutes’ if she stayed with me. The staff respected this and Dr. Harney did his exam in the room. He was very thorough, explained the options available, and provided an accurate estimate of the cost of services. The staff minimized the time we were separated and immediately brought her back after they were done with her x-rays. Lyra was still not exactly herself the next day so I called to ask for further guidance. Dr. Bonfiglio offered for Lyra to come back for a recheck exam and x-rays, both of which were at a reduced cost. After some additional fluids and another anti-nausea injection, Lyra is doing well. I appreciated the attention to detail both doctors showed and how they explained the potential problems we would be looking out for. There were a lot of measures taken in designing their space and protocols to decrease stress for both owners and patients. In an industry which is making it harder for GPs to accommodate same day appointments, urgent care models such as PAWS are a much needed addition to decrease the burden on both emergency and GP clinics. I know they just opened this location but I hope they can expand to additional locations soon. I highly recommend them and their compassionate staff.

Two hour drive to PAWS for an urgent wound care on a Sunday that required stitches for our yr and half puppy lab completely worth the time and affordable cost. Staff was super compassionate and patient with our sweet hyper Roxi. Facility super clean.

Awesome! That's what I can say about PAWS. The staff at the clinic were so sweet and helpful. They made our dog Rory feel comfortable and they took great care with him. I will definitely be going back to them for all our vet needs.
