How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Penetang Vet 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.

The first cat i brought in....all was good...and I left feeling like these people cared...so when I had to bring the next guy in , due to fleas, it blew me away that they thought it was the same cat as before...they don't even look alike...ones a main coonmix ones a Russian blue...I was concerned with how Maddy was walking...they wrote it off as diabetes but this cats never ever been sick before...so I allowed them to take blood and give him a shot, though to this day I don't know what that was for.. He still needed a flea treatment...they came back with Maddy, and I went to pay...they came up with a 400 bill that I was not prepared for coz I was under the assumption that everything was just going to be about 70...I stood there in front of others pleading my case, and then the person at the desk went away, to only come back bring me in a room disgust my finances and make me sign papers that I would come back on Friday to pay...lets not even begin with how small I felt in that moment...and get Maddy's blood work done...I got a call that Friday saying Maddy didn't have to come in coz they already had his blood, I just needed to come pay....I did that...waited for them to call...she called and sorta of explained things to me but all I heard was he has diabetes needs meds implants and urinologoy...I made an appointment to have him brought in that Friday....I wrote the vet a detailed email explaining I wanted more direction...I never got a reply....I waited till Thursday and realized if they don't care about that then why am I shelling out money for something I don't understand...I really feel taken for a ride ..I wrote an email last Thursday November 7 explaining that unless I got things explained I couldn't see me making Fridays appointment because the funds are low and I just feel like it's a twist in my heart, I feel he is not diabetic, and their just stringing me along, taking my money crushing my heart as we go...I have yet to get one email from them, still have a sick cat and don't know where to turn...this place broke my heart...took my money, charged me for things I didn't get, sent us home , never followed up, still hadn't emailed, and just left us hanging...I am now trying to figure out my next move ...Maddy is still sick Here's a before and after shot of poor Maddy.

Can't say enough about the entire staff at the Penetang Vet Hospital. 5 Star +++. Recently they helped me navigate the elder years of my dogs life up to and including his passing from congestive heart failure. The team always treated me and Wally wonderfully with compassion and respect, everyone was so patient, kind and caring. Everything you hope for with end of life journey. Thank you Vicki, the whole Vet Tech Team and thank you Dr. Allorina! -Matt & Wally🐾💚

The people at this vet are all great. However they are so busy now that my last experience wasn't so good. I had to have my dog checked out before getting flee medication. i arrived promptly on time for my appointment and left about an hour later after the vet quickly checked my dog in under 5 minutes. I also requested to have his nails trimmed but was waiting so long that I left around the 1 hour mark. The room I was placed in during this long wait was the room I had my other dog put down in just a week or two before that. So all in all it took about an hour to get 5 minutes of care or less and I couldn't even get my dogs nailed trimmed.
