How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Parkwood 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.

I recently switched to Parkwood after my initial vet wasn’t able to give a proper and thorough diagnosis for my cat’s inexplicable skin problems (per the recommendation of my cousin who is also a vet), and I am so so glad I did. Dr. Kyra Cameron is the absolute best medical practitioner I’ve ever met (not even out of vets, but out of human doctors too 🥲). She is so caring and has so so much knowledge. She had a plan and explained everything to me, leaving no leaf unturned and making sure every option was explored. She gives her full and undivided attention to her patients, doesn’t take any shortcuts, and gets to the bottom of the problem. I left feeling so heard, confident, and reassured. I will never go elsewhere to another vet again

We can’t give enough praises about this fabulous veterinary clinic! After being to several vets across the city and different provinces over the years we've finally found our forever home with this loving and caring team. Ourselves and our fur baby Belah have had the absolute pleasure of meeting both Dr. Cameron and Dr. Kim. Dr. Cameron is truly top-notch – you couldn’t ask for a more thorough and compassionate veterinarian. She takes her time to explain everything and ensures you understand what’s happening with your furry friend. It's clear she treats every pet as if they were her own. She treats Belah like royalty, and we're pretty sure she's got a secret stash of treats just for her! Dr. Kim is equally amazing! He's always ready with a smile and expert advice, He's incredibly caring, knowledgeable, and always ensures our Belah gets the best care possible. Belah can’t wait to dash through the front door on appointment day to say hello to all her new friends. From our family to yours, thank you all for being so amazing! 🐾❤️

Absolutely outstanding hospital and staff. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this truly incredible facility and the services they provide. Hands down the best hospital I have ever had the privilege of bringing my furry friend to; you and your pet will be treated better than royalty at Parkwood. From the time you first walk through the door and are greeted by the best of the best customer service representatives, to your interactions with the superb/experienced veterinary technicians and doctors, to the time you walk back out, I can assure you that you and your pet will feel heard, seen, taken care of, and at ease. If your appointment is running a bit late, please remember that they also operate as an urgent care hospital and the most critical patients require medical assistance ASAP…in other words if your pet is healthy enough to wait, be thankful! These people dedicate so much of themselves and their lives to taking care of every detail and I can’t believe the people of Ottawa are lucky enough to have access to the care they provide. Standing ovation to the Parkwood Animal Hospital team!

Dr.Cameron saw our border collie Daisy for her vaccines and to check out a spot of concern on her chest. Dr.Cameron was very thorough and informative and truly stood out to me. We recently put down our other dog at VCA bells corners and had a horrible experience which is why we switched to Parkwood Animal Hospital. I was understandably very anxious about Daisy considering our recent loss and Dr.Cameron put my mind at complete ease. She was very personable and even helped give me information on the province I will be moving to at the end of the summer. 100% would recommend Dr. Cameron, she really cares about your pet the way she would about her own animals. Thank you Parkwood, I have already recommended Dr.Cameron to everyone in my family and they ALL want to book with Dr.Cameron now. AMAZING.

I’ve never been to a veterinarian clinic where my dog is this excited to get inside and see the doctor. This place is spectacular! Dr Cameron cares for my puppy as if it were her own. Professional, intelligent, and achingly kind. My dog absolutely loves her and sometimes fakes being sick just so she can go spend the day. She is thorough, smart and always looking for a solution even outside the usual box of diagnosis. Plus Dr Cameron knows how to manage owner worries and anxiety and doesn’t ever give up. Dr Cameron literally saved my puppy’s life…there aren’t enough stars in the sky for this review!!
