How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Lanark Veterinary Clinic

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

Amazing experience with my 13 year old doodle. She was misdiagnosed by a different clinic and after 3 weeks of her still spiraling downhill, I brought her to this clinic to see Dr Wicks. Everyone was so caring and compassionate from the Receptionist, the amazing Vet Tech and of course Dr Wicks. All of my furbabies will now use this clinic. I highly recommend!

They took excellent care of my sick girl, Fats. Such a great clinic with a warm and welcoming feel. I felt like they genuinely cared about her and wanted the best for her. I never felt pressured, something I have felt in other clinics. Their pricing is incredibly fair and I would recommend this clinic to anyone. So happy we went there. Thank you!!

I am leaving 1 star only to give my review On feb 16th 2022 my dog of 14 yrs had dementia and needed to be put to sleep .My dog was 24 lbs and had been given tablets to sedate 2 hrs prior . The tablets were not same as used before and I expressed concern as my dog was being anxious and not sleepy . They gave him 3 injections over the course of an hr and he became increasingly nervous . He could not be picked up and the staff even after demanding they dont put an IV in him as the needles and pills had no calming effect and he was fully concious.They ( 2 attendants) ,smothered him in blankets , manhandled him and carried him away under muffled screaming and yelping .. I was paralyzed told to stay out of area but I wanted to be with him. I didn't believe it was real as two of them were holding him down ,suffocating him as he struggled under a comforter while Dr Wix tried to get IV in him. I again was at the doors in tears and crying please stop .I was told to close the door and did so as it didnt want him to suffer. This was not how it should have happened. this took 15 to 20 min but felt like an eternity . They brought him into the room and he was hyperventilating with his entire right arm bandaged up and IV in. Dr.Wix sat on the floor next to me .He then began to tell me what I should expect and began to give me a speech about the process as my dog lay there hyperventalating . I interupted him and demanded he stop talking and please end my dogs sufferring . My dog had a horrific death and it was in no way compassionate. It took over 3 hrs for them to sedate, another 30 min of chaos and my dog crying for me before he stopped breathing . I kissed his head ,held his sides , told him I loved him and left . It was a horrible experience for my dog and I. No stars only the worst memories. I have complained and I hope that those involved in the treatment of my dog that day have been fired as they should not be practicing .
