How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Ocean State Veterinary 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

Even though no one wants to take a trip to the ER vet, we love the fact that Ocean State is there about 40 minutes away. We have taken our mini Aussie, Ollie, here a few times and have always been impressed. It's literally like a hospital for people but for your pet. Staff always communicates well and most everything needed to diagnose or treat your pet is on site. The patient liason even emailed us twice over the two day period with updates & photos - in addition to a thorough explanation from the doctor. To those who are upset over costs or those thinking about getting a pet - please consider pet health insurance so you don't need to worry when faced with the best care for your pet or the cost of the treatment. It certainly puts us at ease that we have Healthy Paws insurance for both of our dogs. So glad you are close by and open 24/7 with top of the line doctors, nurses & techs.

Went here a few times due to a sudden, massive lump on my dog's side. After a few sessions and a CT scan it was discovered to be a massive lipoma that needed removal. Unfortunately, I didn't have a good credit score so I was ineligible for their payment plan services, so I had to fundraise for over a year. Had a surgery re-evaluation and scheduled surgery the very next week. After a six pound tumor was removed from my girl, she's got a new lease on life. I cannot thank Dr. Coronado and the staff for taking such good care of her. They're always so gentle and caring, especially knowing my dog has been abused in the past and scared of most people. The only complaints is that it's near impossible to contact the surgery department; be prepared to call often to get in touch with them. EDIT: It's now March so I thought I'd share the result of her surgery! You can't even see the scar, and her fur has a slightly different texture where the incision was. She's back to running, jumping, and walking without a limp!

The Oncology department is amazing especially Dr Caleb Alexander. The ER department is great. This place is great so amazing with furbabies. I unfortunately lost my baby to Cancer and Dr. Alexander took the time to call me and send his condolences. This just verified everything I already knew about Ocean State Veterinary.

Incredibly pleased with my little guys BOAS surgery and neuter! David Sweet did an amazing job and my baby was immediately breathing better. OSVS took such great care of him and was there for any and all questions I had. David sweet called me immediately after surgery to tell me how everything went and how was recovering from the anesthesia. Very clear and concise, especially great for a worried frenchie mama. He ended up needing his nares opened up, palate trimmed, and tonsils taken out. He is healing so well and acting like nothing ever happened! I can’t thank OSVS enough for helping my little guy breathe and giving him a happy experience while he was there overnight.

Everyone we dealt with here were nothing short of amazing, compassionate and friendly. Excellent bedside manner. The discharge Dr was so nice and comforting, Dr Su, all of reception, and the admitting doctor as well. They took great care of my cat. Lance really helped make this entire situation better. He was so detailed and awesome for the updates for my baby, and sent me the best email with a photo to help make me feel much better and comforted. This hospital helped make this experience the best it could go. Thank you all ❤️
