How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Princess 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

We've been taking our golden doodle to Princess Animal Hospital for 5 years. All of the staff has always been caring and friendly. I couldn't ask for better support from Dr Buchwald through my dog's lymphoma.

They are such an amazing team, so kind and very attentive to my rabbit, Lucifer. I feel so at ease when I go there with him, his doctor genuinely cares for his wellbeing. They are the best, I highly recommend for the best care possible for your furry family 😊

Our 5y/o cane corso, Luna, was diagnosed with cancer just a few days ago. It had spread fast, into her chest, and there was nothing we could do but hope she made it through the weekend. Even with being on medication to help with the nausea and pain, we woke up this morning and we knew it was her time. She loves her car rides, so we loaded her up, and made our way into town. I called PAH as soon as they opened to let them know that we were on our way with her. There wasn’t a slot available with a doctor until 11am, but Luna was quite calm in the car as long as we were moving, so we just drove around and let her enjoy her last car ride for about an hour. We arrived quite early, just after 10. I went in and the receptionist was so kind and patient with me, setting up my file (as this is not our usual vet) and getting a room ready for us. We brought her in, they had a soft bed and blanket ready for her, and told us to take all of the time we needed to say goodbye to our sweet girl. The staff talked us through every single step, I couldn’t stay in there after she fell asleep, it was too hard for me to be there when her heart stopped beating. My father and my sister stayed, but only for so long, as it is extremely hard for all of us. But my sister asked the lovely technician if somebody was able to stay with Luna for a while, to which she happily agreed and stayed with her while we left. We cannot thank you and your wonderful staff enough for helping us through this terribly difficult time. Luna was such an angel, and she was so lucky to be in the hands of such caring humans in her last moments. I know it isn’t easy for you either. Thank you so, so much.

I’m disappointed in our experience at Princess Animal Hospital. We took our dog for shots but since he had thrown up that day we went with the vet’s recommendation to come back in two weeks for his shots when he felt better. We paid for his exam and left. When we were scheduled to come back, they insisted on charging us the examination fee again (along with the vaccination fees) even though we already paid it two weeks before when his weight, teeth, heart etc were checked. How could those things change in two weeks? Clearly this vet is out to get every dollar out of customers possible.

Had to take my Maggie to the after-hours clinic. They triage her fairly quickly. We waited a bit but definitely was worth it. They were very busy with much worse cases. They diagnosed and treated her. She has definitely improved since and hopefully will make a full recovery. Thank you again. 😊 Very kind and friendly staff. The vet I dealt with was great and explained everything. Much appreciate all the help. Would highly recommend them.
