How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Avon Pet 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.

This clinic is truly amazing. I recently had to put down my cat, Charlie after having him with me for over 20 years. The staff were so supportive and gave me all the time I needed with him at the end. A week later I received a card with pictures of Charlie's paw prints. It was so amazing that the staff took the time to do this. It has made me feel like I still have part of Charlie with me. Am so thankful to the staff for doing this for me. Cannot say enough good things about this clinic. Truly Amazing!

I experienced one of the hardest moments of my life a few weeks ago when I very suddenly had to put my two year old cat down. My husband couldn't be there with me, but I didn't feel alone. The staff at Avon Pet Hospital were with me the entire time, and it's very clear they shared my grief. I'm distressed to have lost my fur baby, but they made the process as easy as it can be. Thank you for your support and thank you for the beautiful condolence card. Your passion and sympathy make a huge difference.

The staff and owner are caring and compassionate. They genuinely care and are honest, a rare find in veterinarians and clinics these days. Highly recommend.

This clinic is wonderful! The staff here are incredibly knowledgeable and their care and compassion for animals shows in the services they provide. My GSD is quite aggressive, yet Dr. Sandra is always so patient and understanding with us. Thanks for all that you guys do🤍

I recently brought my new kitten as a new customer and I won’t be going back, if I could give a 0 star I would. This was my 3 month old kitten first vet visit the Dr was expecting a fully grown cat not a kitten and was surprised. She was also telling me that the food I am feeding is garbage and was recommending the vet favourites (which I expected). The Dr had him pin down (in my opinion it was inappropriate) to the table to check his heart as well as all the other procedures as he hissed at her. As the Dr was doing so she was telling me that my 3.90 lb kitten had aggression (he hissed) problems and I need to nip it in the but now before he gets out of control and he becomes unmanageable. I was trying to ask questions as my kitten has a heart murmur and I haven’t dealt with one before and I was told my questions will be answered in a month when I am back for my next round of shots. The last thing I will say her bedside manner was horrible. But the reception lady that was there was amazing she fixed the spelling on my kitten’s name as they made a mistake, she was very nice and welcoming.
