How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Foster Veterinary Clinic

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

AWFUL VET!! My 13 year old dog was handled with pure disrespect. Due to her anxiety and fright from strangers. She can become very reactive. With a group of people who have no idea what they’re doing when it comes to aggression, my dog was grabbed by the neck, and forcefully pushed down to the floor. Never in my life would I think the vet Ive taken my dog to for her entire 13 years of living would treat me and my family with such disgusting disrespect.Your entire facility should be ashamed! As you sit there telling me “she looking stiff in her old age” you treat her like that? Disgusting people. Then you respond on topics in which you know NOTHING OF. Decline sedation??? How do you figure when we came to pick up the medication to sedate her? And she did take 2 of the 3 pills the morning of the appointment, but refused the 3rd. But right we declined sedation. And who said we were okay with her biting you or your staff? I wasn’t but I now wish she did bite you. Do not act as if you were trying to muzzle her as I HAD the muzzle in my hand. You had the BOTH of your hands gripped around my dogs neck. Would you do that to a child who’s fighting to get a shot?? No. That’s my point here. Don’t try to make what you did seem okay. You continue to disgust me. And we excused our selves from YOU.

Yesterday Maximus met Dr. Carter and her staff as Dr. H was not in. Can I just say they made Maximus feel comfortable and not scared. The Vet techs were amazing with the way they answered all the questions and calmed this fur moms nerves. They made sure I understood what as going on. Instead of doing/forcing bloodwork, they asked if it would be ok to run some tests that could rule out issues. Which I allowed. The test I had done was In house and was complete and had results in 10 minutes. The front receptionist was super sweet even when I kept asking the same questions over and over. Thank you Dr. Carter and all the staff. I appreciated that you all were patient and loving to Maximus. Thank you for not just throwing a muzzle on him because of his size and looks. 10/10 visit. If I could you Dr. Carter and her staff more than 5 stars I would.

Super nice and caring staff! I was there for a sick visit with my cat and the place was incredibly busy with regular patients and other sick visits. Staff was calm, caring, and the epitome of grace under pressure.
