How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Veterinary Dentistry Specialists

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.

We were so happy with Veterinary Dentistry Specialists. Dr. Herrmann and all of the staff were so friendly and accommodating. Our cat had to have all her teeth removed, and the team could not have been more helpful during the process. During her surgery, they texted us to keep us updated and informed. We’re 3 weeks post-op now, and our little gal is happier and more snuggly than ever before. We are happy with the results and happy with the care we received from the entire team.

As being a person in the veterinary industry, I was amazed at the serenity of the facility as I walked in; besides the beautiful decor, the functionality that lended itself to also being a very quiet and inviting space made this not a place I was leaving my very skittish/formal feral feline family member, but a place that catered to her needs at an advanced level, without the noise and busy atmosphere that other vet hospitals have. I believe the calmness promotion of not jamming all the clients/pets into a waiting room makes for a more seamless stay where it does lend better outcomes. Saint came home that evening after having her remaining 11 teeth removed. This was her second dental procedure in her young life; her first was was done by Dr. Hermann to save her life after being found as a stray with severe facial trauma that required extensive maxillofacial surgery by him (she is missing a large portion of her left upper and lower jaws). She ate dinner her first night home and I was able to medicate her. While many may read this and go 'oh you should be able to do that cause you own her' - the fact she was feral /did not allow human touch until late last year and I could touch her after this procedure/medicate her says that she was treated with the utmost care and respect due to her skittish nature by Dr. Hermann, Dr. Bronko, Vicki, Stacey, and the client representative staff. This is what you want in a place where you are leaving your pet - the steps that you don't recognize are cultivated to make YOU and your fur baby less anxious which equates to safer anesthesia. I will be bringing my other pets for their dental needs - even if the drive was more than 2 hours...

I cannot say enough good things about VDS! I am a primary care veterinarian, but when my super senior cat needed a dental procedure, I wanted him to be cared for at a specialty center. At VDS his procedure was overseen by a boarded veterinary dentist, a boarded veterinary anesthesiologist, and a veterinary technician specialty licensed in anesthesia. The practice is cozy and welcoming, and each patient is supervised by a dedicated team member 100% of the time. Thank you so much to Stacey, Tara, Dr. Lewis, Dr. Jarrett, and Dr. Feuer, as well as the intake and reception team, for taking such amazing care of my boy, and for helping me feel comfortable. Highly recommend!

Our 2.5yr old labradoodle recently had a consult & anesthesia/dental exam with VDS at this location. Was so impressed with Dr. John Lewis & the ENTIRE team. Absolutely everyone that works there is SO KIND, professional & ultimately took the BEST care of our guy! Really grateful for their help & expertise!

VDS is excellent! I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Lewis for a consult. My boy Bauer has been through a lot in his life and is super nervous. During the consult Dr. Lewis took his time, and gave Bauer the chance to get used to him. He was not in a rush at all and really took the time to work with Bauer. I ended up having Dr. Herrmann do Bauers surgery only because I was able to schedule his surgery earlier. Dr. Herrmann was so kind and personable, and truly cared about Bauer. Dr. Herrmann was so gentle with him and respected his limits. The nurses were all so kind and made sure to explain in detail what to expect post-op. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to take care of my boy. I am so grateful for you all!
