How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Community 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

Needed to switch veterinarian for our Parti Poodle and did a search of our area. Smooth process for a new client. Front girls are very friendly, and the Dr listened to my concerns. He took the time to explain his view on Oreo's care. Very knowledgeable.

Dr. Sloat and his team are wonderful professionals who provide exemplary services to their clients. The entire team is kind and courteous, and it’s obvious that they love animals. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for quality, gentle care for their animals.

No words or act can ever express my gratitude. From when my beloved dog was 9 months Dr. Sloat has taken care of my dog Misu. My dog is now 15 . And has always been a very special needs dog. Dr. Sloat has and continues to bend over backwards to give my pup special personalized care. He has gone way beyond and more for my dog. In ways that I am sure no other vet would do! From when I first met him , my very first appointment without him really knowing me he offered for me to pay him in installments.. no vet does that!! And i believe he has done that for others too. Ofcourse people took advantage of his kindness and he can no longer do that. But I will never forget that in my life. He caters to my dogs needs in the perfect way that my dog needs it. I'm sure he does to all animals but again my dog is a very unique special needs. I always pray for Dr. Sloat because he plays a very important part in our lives my dog and I I honestly wouldn't know what to do without Dr. Sloat. My wish is that he sees us through the time my pup gains his wings. And I know he will. I know my dog has a special place in Dr. Sloats heart. It is so heartwarming And Dr. Sloat has alot to do with my dog still being here. The staff is also very nice to me always. Especially Stephanie whom also has gone far and beyond. I highly recommend this vet for your pets. 1 million infinity stars
