How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Village 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 had to put our dog down today. Everyone at Village Animal Hospital was so caring. They spoke gently to me, they had soft music playing in our room and they gave me the time to grieve with my kids. I am only sorry that we only recently moved to the area and couldn’t bring Mazie here before now. They are really wonderful and I hope I see them in the future. Thank you all so much such kindness at a very difficult time ♥️

I got there 20 minutes early and they got me right in to see the vet. Staff was knowledgeable, professional, friendly and happy. Was better then I could have imagined. 10/10 service I wouldn't want to go anywhere else

Wonderful and helpful staff and doctors. We took our dog here for years and she lived a very long life. They were so sweet to her. Near her last days, they told us their honest thoughts that our dog might be in pain. They did not force the issue or even outwardly suggest putting her down. We asked ourselves and their response was “it would be the kind thing to do” which we thought was a very gentle and loving way to share this with us. We really appreciated that. We weren’t thrown off guard and they let us come to the realization with some gentle words and information. When she passed they made a cast of her paw print for us. We avoided picking it up for years. It was really sad and we figured that they might have discarded it. When we eventually called they said that this wasn’t the first family to call so long after. And “of course they had it for us”. How wonderful. Recently I had my kitten switch her food over to a line that is only available to veterinary clinics. They are not my provider of care for my cat as I live somewhere else. My parents were cat-sitting and ran out of her food. I called and asked if they could sell my parents some even though my kitten doesn’t see them for any services but that it would be easier for my parents. They were happy to do this for me. I highly suggest this clinic.

I was disappointed that because I wasn't a resident in the area at the time, they told me they could not look at my dogs paw. Even though I was the only car in the parking area and they werent busy, they said that residents appointments are priority....even though I saw no cars in the parking. I have since finalized my move up here and am glad I now have a permanent vet with a priority on animals.

Whilst my Kitty clearly didn't appreciate getting 3 needles, Dr. Byrne was calm and good to her and explained a lot to me as I was clearly worried about her. I wish I could totally clear her of all ailments, she had a terrible life before being rescued by Port Stanley Rescue. Even with her sicknesses I love her so much. Thanks Dr. Byrne & staff for helping her ❤️
