How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Aldergrove Animal 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.

Exceptional customer service by all staff although I must praise amy, amanda and kelly. The patience they all showed with my moose and care they provided to myself and moose while moose was alive. Unfortunately moose took a seizure at 8 p.m. on a Thursday night and I could not wait for Aldergrove to open on the Friday. The only time Amy met moose he hissed at her and she didn’t mind at all (she’s a dog person lol). Kelly treated moose with utmost love and wrapped him like a burrito and moose was fine with her. One time moose was seen at the vets with an injured leg and they couldn’t even get close to to moose. Kelly was a cat whisperer like dr Martin who was at this clinic we followed from another clinic but stayed when he left. Amanda always provided amazing service and all three of them were there to comfort me when I went in after moose passed away. Thank you to all the great staff who ever had an interaction with moose or I. Can’t thank you all enough from moose and myself as well as my mother who would often pick up food or meds. Be included the last picture of moose and I taken after he was put down and one of moose in my arms weeks before at home just resting in my arms like he always did.

We have recently moved to the area and Aldergrove came very highly recommended. We had been with our previous vet for 20 plus years so I was nervous going to someone new. I took 3 dogs in over 2 days for wellness exams and script renewals. Dr. Cornell was simply amazing as were the vet techs. One very happy doggie Momma here. Cas, Jack, and Khloe give it two paws up.

I cannot say enough how amazing these people are. From the vet techs to the veterinarians you can tell they all actually care. After horrible experiences at other vets I brought my dog here, unfortunately in June she was diagnosed with lymphoma. They have been accommodating and supportive the whole way. Such a difference in the care and attention here vs other vet offices.

Courteous, warm and friendly staff who made my 5-year old dog feel comfortable in their care. Very thorough in reviewing all information about my dog.
