How to Save on Veterinary Costs at VCA Povar 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

I'm a dog trainer and many of my clients recommended them and couldn't say enough good things. So we switched. And for a while things were great and we got better service compared to our previous vet. But now the quality of service and compassion has tanked. And they are SLOW. Long wait in the waiting room, long wait in the exam room, then we answer all the techs questions, another long wait in the exam room, then we answer all the doctors questions that the tech had asked previously. Then another long wait. The result of big business getting involved. As of this writing everyone that has recommended them to me has since switched vets for the same reasons. There are many independently owned practicies in Rhode Island and the Providence area. I would seek them out instead.

I have been to many vets over the years, the team at VCA are, hands down the best team I have ever had support my animals - and me! Their compassionate support and professional guidance, along with their commitment to being available in every situation is remarkable. My highest regards and gratitude. For anyone searching for a Vet, this is THE place! Thank you sincerely to Dr Pyun - for all you do, especially your care of Calico Kitty

The staff at Povar were extremely kind and compassionate at a very difficult time for my family in having to put our beloved dog Layla down last week. From the front desk, to the vet assistant Kerrin, to Dr. Pyun, we could not have asked for a better team. Thank you for all you do. Much thanks

Most compassionate staff of veterinary professionals. So glad we switched veterinarians. VCA Povar in Riverside not only provides excellent veterinary care to our babies they also have exceptional customer service. They make us feel safe and comfortable trusting our love ones into their care. Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to our old man but VCA tried their best and were supportive of our journey and helped us keep our big boy comfortable and at home prior to letting him go. They sent out family the most heartfelt sympathy card with personal notes from the staff. We continue to bring our girl to main her health and wellness needs.
