How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Huntsville 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

I just put down my 13.75 yr old golden doodle. They did an excellent job of keeping me in control of the process, and allowed my dog a comfortable, low stress end to her wonderful life. I was especially pleased with the extent to which we could do the procedure outside in the shade with her peeps on her dog bed, rather than an impersonal exam room.

Took my 2 year old Golden Retriever in as Harley had started off with a head tilt. They sedated him to see if he had a bad tooth. No it was not his tooth. Bloodwork had obvious infection. No antibiotics given, just pain meds. Had to call the in call Vet in Toronto over the weekend as Harley was not improving, his eye looks like it is coming out of the socket. Lethargic, in pain, just not Harley I took him back to Huntsville Clinic. When they first saw him, they thought he may have Blasto- well if a dog have Blasto it's like having a parvo puppy. Should be isolated ect. Ran his bloodwork, with all the other dogs around & staff with NO PPE. With another $600.00 paid, AND AN OBVIOUS eye issue-which they did not even do an assessment on HIS EYE at all, no temp taken-they suggested I should see a eye specialist for Harley. No referral, no eye exam or standard care practise done, I left there so upset. So then I drove Harley down to Barrie Animal Hospital-they did an eye exam right away, further testing, which would take a few days. Harley had antibiotics, eye antibiotics & pain meds. They told me if Harley took a turn to get him in. Today Harley woke up with his face swollen. Well guess what he had to go to my regular vet & he has a BLOOD CLOT in his brain. This clinic is so unprofessional. No eye exam, I should say no exam for the issue at hand. Just told me to see an eye specialist with no referral or knowledge of who I should call. This is not about money (I did pay them a lot), but yet the neglect of care of Harley & crazy vet charges for NOTHING. They had seen him 2 times, with no neuro exam, eye exam ect ect. It is obvious from his pictures that there is a CLEAR issue. My suggestion is do not take any of your 4 legged love ones here at all. Unacceptable negligent care.

We took our senior cats to the clinic for the first time in order to do a check up and had a wonderful experience. Dr Jackson and her team were extremely nice and caring with our cats and they explained everything carefully to ensure that we understood all the tests that they were going to do as well as the associated cost. Overall we felt that they were very transparent and that they genuinely care for pets. Happy to have found them!

We took our two cats for an annual checkup and several tests and were extremely happy with our visit. We received friendly, competent care from every team member, and communication was clear, transparent, and articulate. We left with a very high degree of trust and will happily continue to take our pets here. Highly recommend.

Thank you Huntsville Animal Hospital for your exceptional skills and compassionate care. My cat Garth was fit in for multiple check ups during an acute situation, We were met by informative, kind and incredibly helpful staff all the way through. We’ve had a very positive experience. Would absolutely recommend this facility!
