How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Our Family Vet

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.

I love Cinda and her staff. They make the experience and relationship so personable and comfortable. They know and love my Mattie and I know we will always have excellent and very informative care. We've been coming for years and wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you Springwater Veterinary! ❤️

We have been coming to Dr Scott for 4 years. She’s the best and most attentive vet we have ever had. You can tell her heart for animals the minute she greets you and gets down to meet your fur baby. And I love that Dr Scott looks first to alternative treatments with the well-being of my pet in mind. She treats from a holistic approach using acupuncture, essential oils, and other natural products. The staff is also knowledgeable and caring. I live in Vancouver but the care we receive is worth the drive. I also have several friends from my side of the river that have become her patients

My Husband, Myself and our Veinna were just visiting the area for a month, when our Sweet Little Girl started having back pain, Veinna is a 18yr old Dachshund with a bad back, I called Dr. Scott and she got us in for Acupuncture within 4 days, in the meantime she quite eating, so on our visit for treatment, bloodwork was done with negative numbers for kidney function, we ended up at Dove-Lewis Animal Hospital where kidney cancer was discovered, this was totally devastating news for us, Dr. Scott called the following day and was so encouraging in the fact that yes, she will not get better, she is at the end of her life, but as long as she was Happy to See Us, to give us those 2 extra weeks, that we will Cherish Forever, we believe Dr. Scott and her Staff are Earth Angels, during this time with COVID, and our being from out of state, they really went above to help us send our Veinna over the Rainbow Bridge

Dr. Scott takes better care of my dogs that any other vet I've been too. My 8 year old mastiff has orthopedic problems, and I've been taking her there for acupuncture for over a year now. She is moving so much better than she was before we started her on accupuncture, and I still take her there even after moving to the north coast.

Springwater is my favorite clinic I have ever taken a pet to. All of the staff are so kind, knowledgable, and thorough with each and every appointment. They took such great care of my puppy from being born there until we had to move. Dr. Scott listened to all of my concerns with my new puppy, always offered great advice, and it was for a very reasonable price. They functioned seamlessly even while under Covid-19 restrictions. I would recommend this vet to everyone.
