How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Keystone Veterinary Care

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

Oppps! I did not post this from our last visit! Every time I take Reggie to Keystone Veterinary Clinic I am met with the nicest receptionists. The technicians are all so caring and treat us like we are special! We usually see Dr Jackson who I have the utmost confidence in her knowledge to take the best care of my 3 year old. We just saw a new member of the clinic, Dr Doyle who diagnosed my pup with severe allergies and was very caring and gentle with my boy. Needless to say I am so happy I take Reggie to Keystone Veterinary Clinic. I just took Reggie in for his annual shots, and blood work and Dr Jackson said he was perfect. It is so nice knowing he is getting the best care. One big reason i love going to Keystone Veterinary Clinic is because my boy is perfectly at ease there😁

Our cat Patches was sick and no one had any openings. We called Keystone Vets and they they made an opening for her. They are very friendly and caring for our cat. They took the time to check her out and explain the outcome to us. They were not in a rush to get you out the door. We have decided to use them as our primary vet even though it's a 70 mile round trip. Their price is reasonable for all the tests and diagnostics they can do right there.
