How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Martin Veterinary Hospital

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.

Although I have used Martin Veterinary years ago with family pets, I have recently started to visit again with my grand pup Ody and the newest addition to our family, Coco. The staff at Martin Vet are always so kind, accommodating and understanding. The visit with my new pup was a new experience with Coco being a female so lots to learn about the spaying procedure. Amanda, a RVT, was so kind to send me a link for after surgery wear for Coco which was a great help. I trust that both Coco and Odysseus are in excellent care when they visit the team at Marin Veterinary Hospital.

I had such an amazing experience at this clinic, my cat is not the friendliest and he loved it, he was so well behaved and the whole team has helped him and us to feel welcomed and safe!! We will definitely come back and bring our other cats.

Our cat Toby is not... fond of his previous vet. First time trying this place and it was an excellent experience. The entire staff made sure Toby was as comfortable as possible through the entire thing. I arrived early and they were ready to take us in pretty quickly. Receptionist was lovely. The assistants(sorry I'm not sure of the professional titles) were very knowledgeable and very clearly knew how to handle a grumpy cat. The vet as well was excellent and made sure to take the time to answer questions. I think it was a great first step in getting Toby comfortable with vet appointments again.

Amazing service here with a very knowledgeable and compassionate team. We were completely new clients at the clinic. Our kitty had been acting unusual, and we managed to get an appointment the same day of our call. Dr. Flora is excellent. She explained everything to us clearly and answered each question we may have had, with no rush. She was very patient and understanding. Amanda, the vet tech, was also extremely attentive and caring towards our pet. Fees were not pushed on us at all, and any time there was a service/cost we wanted to omit, they were extremely understanding and did not push at all. In the end, our cat got to the stage where he needed euthanasia as he had deteriorated very quickly. Amanda, Dr. Flora, and even the other staff who were not initially involved were so extremely kind and caring about the whole thing. They gave us all the time we needed and made the process so much less scary. Although our time at Martin Veterinary Hospital was short, it was very warm and welcoming. We couldn't have asked for a more compassionate, sensitive, and capable team to help us through this process. Thank you, Martin Vet! Any future pets we have will be coming here.

The best thing about the vets at Martin is the trust that they inspire and that I have for them. I feel very confident that my dog is in the BEST hands possible when he is receiving care at Martin. I can't express how important that is to me and how much peace of mind it brings. I would NEVER take my dog anywhere else.
