How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Animal Care Services

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

Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

This is honestly the BEST & AFFORDABLE VET in RI! I recently got a Kitten(Sam) who was 4 Weeks at the time. The owner who sold him to me gave me no information on Vaccines or Health Problems. I talked to an Online Vet and found out my Kitten had Ear Mites. He was in a lot of pain. I called almost every Vet in RI but couldn’t afford the cost while making minimum wage. They were trying to charge me $150 to get him an appointment and another $50 to get his treatment. Mind you they we’re booked as well. That was $200 I couldn’t afford. I finally found “Animal Care Services” in Warwick. Got an appointment a week later. They helped take care of my baby and got rid of his Ear Mites. The prices we’re decent and affordable and all the staff had amazing vibes! I really like this vet so I made it his Primary. If you’re struggling financially and have pets I 100% suggest bringing them to “Animal Care Services” 😊😊😊

Dr Ader is WONDERFUL, and doesn't need high tech equipment to diagnose. She's GREAT with all my pets (3 dogs, 2 cats, talking parakeet)!! Staff is very helpful also!!

Great veterinarian. Little hard to find Google Maps will bring you all over the place but Waze GPS should bring you right there. It's a little house behind shrubbery there is a small sign on their fence.

They got me in right away when my Jack Russell hurt his back again and had a swollen area behind his pad. The service was great. After the vet finished with Jack, my 3 & 4 yr old girls were asking to see the bird in the big cage, but the cage was empty, so the vet called for someone to bring the bird in from it's other perch to show them. They were so excited when this big white bird talked to them! So we got great service and a fun show! The guy at the desk in the lobby also took time to talk to them. All around great place. I forgot to add that their prices are very reasonable.

Great experienced vet. She knew what was wrong with my dog within a minute. I was surprised I could get my dog in so quick. The staff was friendly and helpful. The cost was very reasonable. I would highly recommend Dr.Ader. We just introduced her to our newest family member.
