How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Minerva Veterinary Clinic

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.

Worst place to take an animal. Does not care about animals at all, only wants to make money. Staff is rude and doesn't listen to the pet parent. Told them you can't get blood from our pets legs and they kept trying against our wishes. Dog and owner have PTSD from this place. Shame on this clinic!!

my grandma took her cat here & had nothing but amazing things to say. Carol did a thorough exam. She was gentle and explained in detail everything she did. Would definitely be coming back

Not personable at all. New in town so thought we would try Minerva vet out. Bad choice. This was my second time here. I was the first appointment of the day and was greeted by the co-owner and 2 employees. I was in the middle of talking, the phone started ringing and the co-owner and employee both walked away from me and went to answer the phone. I completely and totally understand answering the phone but usually a person excuses themselves politely and then returns their attention back to the person once finished. The call didn’t even last 5 seconds—-They never returned to directing their attention back to me. 😂 Maybe they just weren’t interested in what I was saying? 🤷‍♀️ 😆 It was still very awkward and rude. They weren’t busy and no one else was there, so that made it more awkward. Then, I was shuffled quickly into a room. I was trying to build some kind of relationship with these people but I felt as though I was just being shuffled through.$$$ I though I might have just been being petty or sensitive but it gets better. When I politely told the lady employee that I’v decided I was going to go somewhere else , the co-owner piped up and said “yeah I think you’ll be happy somewhere else.” What?! 😂 After that, I told him gently and kindly that I felt pushed off while trying to build a relationship and trust with him/them and he told me, “I’m sorry you feel that way.” Double WHAT?! 😂 I wasn’t looking to stir trouble—just looking to build relationship and you do that by communication. Just terrible communication and lack of personable skills. I wish I would have looked at the reviews a little better before coming here and wasting my time. I look forward to giving my money to business’ that truly value their clients and take the time to build trust and authentic relationships with them. If you just wanna be pushed and cycled though, Minerva vet is for you! Ps. The “estimate” or pay setup was weird too. First, I was quoted $200-300 at our first visit. Then when I get there, they had an estimate written up for me that was $280-$1000.00+ .

This clinic is so kind when you need it the most! They are patient, and gentle to your fur babies, especially when it's time to cross the Rainbow Bridge. I've been a sobbing mess here twice and both times, they were absolutely amazing. Clean and caring! Highly recommend!
