How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Guelph Animal 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.

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.

We brought our 7 month old cat in after a spay that didn't go so great at another clinic. Dr. Fleming and staff were so amazing and personal with us, and very empathetic! I can thank them enough for helping to get our girl back on track! Will definitely be going back here. Remember, you get what you pay for. They may be a little pricier, but it’s for good reason.

4 dogs and 5 years later and they are still the best vet in town. The front end staff are so welcoming and accommodating. They stick to your appointment time so you are not left waiting long. The techs and vets are extremely knowledgeable, we always feel confident our boys are in great hands! They also offer a Healthy Dog Plan which is more cost effective and also helps to remind you not to forget a vaccine. Overall they are fantastic!

We love the staff at Guelph Animal Hospital! We had a bishop poo that passed away in 2022 and a few months later, we adopted Pippy. Although we don't live close to the hospital, we chose to take Pippy there. The staff is very kind, knowledgeable and try to accommodate our schedule when we have to take Pippy there. We also love their integrative approach!

My animals and family have been clients of the Guelph Animal Practice for over 10 years. We love all of the vets, vet techs, and front end staff at GAH. Everyone is so caring, knowledgeable and friendly. They are truly dedicated to the health and well being of my three dogs. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone!

We recently lost our beloved 16-year-old cockapoo Mika. We were 3-hours away at our cottage and found our little boy having trouble breathing throughout the night. We called the hospital on our way home the next day. The lady on the phone spent great deal of time asking questions, checking his medical records and understanding his issues. Although all doctors were booked, she arranged a technician to see him as soon as we got there. From the moment we walked in, we felt the warmth and kindness from the stuff (as always). After x-ray, Dr. Sherry came in and explained the severity of his conditions and the options we had. Although we were heart-broken and shocked as we didn’t expect to lose him that day, the compassion, knowledge and professionalism the entire team have shown us made it easier. They waited for our daughter and son-in-law to come. We had plenty of time to say goodbye to him in a private room and to consider burial options (that was explained to us clearly). We will never forget the love they showed Mika and their kindness towards us. We are new to Guelph and have only visited GAH a few times. Every visit was positive. This is by far the best animal hospital we have ever been to. The entire team there, doctors, technicians, and receptionists have been absolutely the best. We will recommend them in a heart beat and will be there when we get our next dog! Thank you, GAH.
