How to Save on Veterinary Costs at A-1 Vet 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.

Very nice staff and very accommodating with a last minute appointment for someone who had never been there. Would highly recommend them if your pet is in need of any kind of help.

I called A-1 Vet on a Thursday afternoon to see how fast I could get Ava in for an exam for an emergency. Luckily, they had just had a 10am cancellation on the next day. As a new patient and in an emergency, I had to take the opening. The woman who answered the phone and scheduled was prompt, courteous, and empathetic. When I brought Ava in, the lobby was not filled with other patients to be seen, for which I was relieved. We all know the anxiety of bringing a sick dog or cat in to the welcoming of other sick or upset pets. Ava was scheduled to see Dr. Meredith Evans, and as soon as we arrived, we were immediately directed to the exam room. Dr. Evans was still in surgery, but I didn't wait but 5 minutes until she was ready to see Ava. Let me tell you - Dr. Evans was amazing. She was compassionate, gentle, and made Ava feel at such ease. She quickly diagnosed Ava, provided her treatment recommendation (emergency surgery), and gave me an estimate right there. I had no doubt Ava was in good hands, so I took the recommendation. I'm so glad I did. I left Ava with them for the day while I worked. Ava was ready to be picked up by the end of day. When Ava came out of surgery, she was still inebriated and groggy, so Dr. Evans helped to load her in my car (Ava is a big girl). Two days after surgery, although she is taking some pain meds once a day, she has returned to her normal self, and other than the incision site, you would never guess Ava was sick a couple day ago. I can't thank Dr. Evans enough. If you're in need of a veterinarian, Dr. Evans is who you want to see!
