How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Synergy Veterinary Behavior

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.

Amazing vet staff and trainers. Our very sensitive dog used to be absolutely terrified of noise and being outside and we’ve seen amazing progress since working with Synergy! It’s been a long process and a lot of work but we are so glad we came to them. Their group classes are fun and they do a great job of making them enjoyable for reactive dogs. They are also very inclusive and welcoming to the humans on the other end of the leash, we have never felt judged or blamed for our pup’s fears.

Our dog Calamity Jane was extremely fearful when she came to Synergy. She would freeze, hide, or bolt in almost any new situation or around new people. Getting her to the vet, having guests over or even going on a walk with her was extremely challenging. After working with Synergy, she's doing so much better. She'll even voluntarily greet people at the door, or enjoy a relaxing hike in a new, quiet environment. We can't recommend Synergy enough. I've submitted before and after pics of her in the same situation (the vet) so everyone can see the difference.

Synergy Behavior Solutions exceeded our expectations and we honestly can't imagine what our relationship with our dog would be like without their guidance. When we first reached out to Synergy, our dog had debilitating anxiety and very little socialization. They did an excellent job balancing medical and behavioral interventions. Dr. Valli was very kind and thoroughly explained the medications and any potential effects. We also worked with Lorena for behavioral training. Lorena took the time to understand our dog, his needs and his comfort level. We took a slow, positive approach to training that helped us connect with our dog and build a base level of trust. Five months later and our dog is thriving! We still have things to work on but they are much smaller in magnitude and I feel we have the tools to continue working with him on our own. Thank you Synergy!!!

We were recommended to Synergy Behavior Solutions after struggling at the vet clinic (and in the community) with our dog's fear turned fear aggression. We worked with Dr. Valli and 3 different training offerings (private sessions, Reactive Rover-Dog Directed, Reactive Rover-Human Directed). The trainings worked synergistically with the recommended pharmacology to help our dog increase his overall comfortability and to begin look to us humans to provide him with support in the face of challenging stimuli. The team at Synergy Behavior Solutions is fabulous in ALL ways: well organized, caring, effective at teaching and coaching (canine and human)--they are community builders!

Dr. Froelich is amazing! She taught our clinic all about fear free dog handling. We had a very reactive dog come in and tried to bite us. Because we were empowered with the knowledge from Dr Froelich, we were able to get the client on board with the muzzle initiative and by the end of a series of visits, the dog was so happy to be here he didn't want to leave. He was his tail and gets excited to see his muzzle. Thanks so much!
