How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Lynwood 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.

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.

In my experience, Lynwood Animal hospital is the very best vet in the capital region. They’ve taken care of my bunnies for 2 years and have always gone out of their way to provide exceptional care. Despite living 20 minutes away, I recently moved both my cats to Lynwood too, as I have yet to find any other vet that offers the same level of care and service. Each time we visit, vet techs and Dr. Flegel / Dr. Baird have been very thorough, knowledgeable, and pleasant. I (and the zoo) want to thank each and every staff member that has taken care of us; you are all awesome. I don’t know what we’d do without Lynwood Animal Hospital!!

The best vet that I have ever had. I bring my rabbit there and they have always been super kind and professional. They have always made efforts to ensure that I have medication or treatment in a timely fashion. I highly recommend them, especially for exotic animals.

We bring our African Grey Congo (CAG), Bean, to Dr Flegel, avian vet at this location. We have always been kindly greeted either by phone, email or in person, by everyone. The information we get is detailed and useful, from helpful emails that make sure the appointment with be useful and you will be prepared for the appointment to the very detailed invoice and the patience of Dr Flegel and Stefanie (sorry if I am getting this wrong!!) during the visit. They let us ask all our questions and thoughtfully give us the answers we need. With the help of Dr Flegel and Stefanie, our boy has overcome some minor health challenges this year, his first year in the world (low calcium [even for a CAG!], B12 supplement to improve the CBC results, switched to Harrison's for an improved balanced nutrition diet, tips on behaviours, things to look out for or keep an eye on specific to our bird, etc.). Highly recommended this specialty AVIAN vet (actually, they're not just an avian vet, they're an exotic animal vet) for anyone in the NCR with a flighted friend (can only speak to their avian services/knowledge). Thank you for helping us take care of Bean!

The vets , techs and front desk ladies are amazing. They take time to explain things and treat our bunny like it is their own. I can not say enough about the care that is given every time we come in. Thank you so much. Maeby, Jill and Carter.

I’ve been very happy with my experience with Lynwood Animal Hospital. All of the veterinarians that have cared for my ferrets have been knowledgeable about ferrets and take the time to answer my questions, and some went as far as to offer suggestions on dietary habits and preventative treatments. This vet is one of the few around Ottawa that have experience with ferrets and they are gaining our trust with each appointment!
