How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Timmins 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

Update 2024: still an amazing place. Dr. Butterworth and his staff are still fantastic. Would still recommend. Cats are 12 and dog will be 9 in a month, all three are doing great. Thanks again, Dr. B! Original post 2023: My animals became patients around 2017-2018 when Dr. Butterworth saved my cat's life after the Iroquois Falls vet was unable to figure out what was wrong with him. My cats are now going on 11 and the dog is 8 and thriving. Dr. B is an incredible man, and the staff are always phenomenal with my 3 animals. I would never go anywhere else for non-specialist appointments.

I have never been to another vet that showed this much care for their patients. Dr. Butterworth is an exceptional individual and caregiver. We have been bringing our dog in since we first brought him home. Dr. Butterworth and the team always take extra time with him, going above and beyond what our appointment was booked for to check in on any other concerns we may have, as well as our dog's general wellbeing. Never have we been pushed towards unnecessary and expensive tests or treatments, always being told their professional and honest assessment of what is best for our pet. I always feel safe and confident bringing our dog here, knowing they are going to give him the best treatment out of genuine care for their patients. Our family is moving soon and our biggest concern is having to change vets - there won't be any facility as well run as this.

Thank you so much for all the great care. I moved to Timmins a few years ago and the staff here and Dr Butterworth have been so amazing and kind! They have taken 2 of my pets in emergencies (and we were not already clients) and now all my pets are registered there. They have taken my pets in for appointments when they needed it immediately and gave them amazing care that they needed. A few times I went in feeling very anxious and left feeling very reassured. Dr Butterworth just has a way of being matter of factly and providing a sense of comfort even in tough situations. I am very grateful for that! I have also really enjoyed the after hours Smartvet online vet that they use. They are great and so fast and send any prescriptions into Shoppers Drug mart for me on weekends. I think that’s a great system to allow the staff at Timmins Animal Hospital to get some good rest on the weekends and only come in for dire emergencies. I wish my pets would be normal and stop having so many issues lol but I am very glad I have great care when it happens. Could not recommend this clinic enough! Thanks for everything. Katherine

This vet clinic has always handled my pets with such care and compassion. My female dog was on her last legs today and needed an emergency surgery. They handled everything extremely well and I couldn't recommend a better place to take care of your furry family members. Thank you so much to the staff!
