How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Burloak 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 cannot express my gratitude enough to the staff at Burloak Animal Hospital for supporting us through the loss of our beloved pet bunny. We found ourselves in a more emergent situation seeking vet care from this hospital for the first time (we were referred by our usual vet) and even on the phone the receptionist was warm and understanding. They were all wonderfully kind, empathetic and patient despite that we were their last clients of the day on a Saturday; they were exactly what we needed while we said goodbye to our best friend.

I’m not sure there are enough kind words to say about the staff at Burloak Animal Clinic. We have a frenchie who has Addison’s, allergies and now a broken toe. I have complete faith in the vet techs, office staff and various vets on staff. It is such a great environment filled with professionals who love their pet patients.

I'm surprised I haven't wrote a review here sooner. Burloak Animal Hospital has some of the most compassionate and knowledgeable staff I have encountered in my 28 years of being a pet owner. Dr. Hale, Sabina, and the rest of the RVT's have provided us with overwhelming support during times when my loved ones desperately needed care. Back in 2021, my bunny had been neutered at another clinic, and the incision had repeatedly kept opening up - I suspect an error had been made in the initial surgery. The initial clinic had tried several times to seal the area properly, but ultimately kept opening up leaving him bleeding with an open wound. Burloak Animal Hospital had taken us in last minute, responding to my emails of distress even past clinic hours. They were able to successfully do laser surgery on him, and were thorough with follow ups and additional appointments and after care. We do not live in the area, but now go here annually for his regular checkups as I would not ever go anywhere else for him. In recent times, our pup had suddenly fallen ill and his health continued to decline - his usual clinic was closed for the day. Again, Burloak Animal Hospital had taken us in last minute on a weekend to do a thorough assessment and tests, and called around and referred us to another emergency clinic locally to look after him overnight. Thank you to everyone on staff for continuously taking care of our little family.

The only place I’ve ever trusted with my rabbits! The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I’ve had rabbits now for over 15 years, I have always had the best experiences here. They truly understand rabbits and make sure to get a detailed history, and the team is so gentle (even when my rabbits are not, sorry about that!). I recommend to everyone regardless of pet type to come here!

Dr. Sarah is such a compassionate and kind vet. We have a 14 year-old rabbit with many medical issues. He is blind,deaf, and today was diagnosed with arthritis. Dr. Sarah has helped us immensely with improving our rabbit’s quality of life. Thank you for treating our rabbit with love and knowledge! The perfect combination. This morning I called because our rabbit was favoring one leg. Not only did they squeeze us in, but they did so on a Friday, just a few days away from major holidays. Also, we’d like to express our gratitude to the rest of the exceptional staff!! From the staff at the front counter, to the vet techs, they ALL are loving, kind and professional. Just the type of people you’d want to look after your fur-baby. Our bunny is old, but you’ve given us the gift of more time while making sure that our rabbit is comfortable and pain-free. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
