How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Acton 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.

Dr. Hess performed my dog’s luxating patella surgery a week and a half ago on my almost 9 year old maltese/dachshund. First he used a laser to cut him open so that there was barely any bleeding. Then he expertly created a groove in the bone where the patella sits which only lasted 15 minutes. After he sewed/ stapled him up. My dog is healing very well and there’s no issues with his incision. Dr. Hess has done a lot of luxating patella surgeries and I am 100% happy that we chose him to do the surgery. Jess the vet tech was also present during the surgery and monitored my dog during the entire procedure. She’s extremely good at what she does and the vet clinic is lucky to have her. Acton Vet Clinic staff truly loves their patients and treats every furry animal as if they were their own. You can see them snuggling the patients and showing genuine concern if they aren’t doing well. They are friendly, kind and know what they are doing. They work tirelessly to give you the best service and are worth the drive if you live far away.

I'm delighted with the exceptional care my rabbit, Leo, received at this vet clinic. The staff demonstrated genuine expertise and compassion during the neutering procedure and kept me up to date the whole time. The facility is really clean, and the follow-up instructions were clear. No matter how many times I called before, during and after the procedure the staff were always happy to help answer the questions I had. I appreciate their dedication to the well-being of Leo and highly recommended! I was promised a follow up call a couple days later that I didn’t receive. But no worries cause Leo recovered perfectly and is so happy now.

Just wanted to give an amazing shout out and thank you to Dr. Dev, Dr, Stephan and each and every member of the team, for seeing our frenchie on short notice who suddenly had hives, diarrhea and vomiting. From front desk to behind the scenes, every member of the Acton Veterinary team is courteous, kind, thorough, knowledgeable, professional, compassionate, and they really do treat our pets as if they were their own. Thank you again for the amazing care we received today (and always!).

I was recommended by the Cochrane’s to come to this clinic. I been coming here with my dogs Bo and Levi for about a year ish now and I been having a good experience with Dr Hess, Dr Stephen and with the tech Izzy! They are amazing and the staff is pretty friendly! Today I was put with Dr Devanshi Shah and I did not have the best experience she was friendly up until she asked me what food I fed my dogs and I told her I feed them “Instinct” it’s a mixture of kibble with freeze dried raw pieces in it. She then began to ask me why do I think it benefits my dogs if there are raw pieces in there. She then told me in a harsh way that It is horrible for my dog and I need to stop that food because it contains raw and that she will be adding that into his file as he can contaminate the clinic and he also contaminates my house as it will be coming from his body now since there are a few freeze dried raw pieces in there. I told her this is my preference and I will continue to feed him this food, and she did not like that. It’s whatever but I believe she can be kinder about it and if she wants to educate people on what she believes that’s fine but no need to bash someone for it I felt a bit attacked because of what I feed my dog. Other than that my experience here has always been good. I recommend this clinic but if you feed kibble that contains a few pieces of freeze dried raw or complete raw good luck lol.
