How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Buckwalter 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.

We have been patients (our animals) of Buckwalter Vet Clinic for several years and are so satisfied with all the TLC, knowledge and experience we get from all the doctors, especially Dr Daniel Iyer. The time they take with our pets, getting right down on the floor with them and having conversation, I love it. They are dog whisperers for sure. And the follow up is amazing and personal and not limited to calls. They text and email making it easy for all to keep a good line of communication open. My husband and I are grateful that we have them nearby and highly recommend them to everyone we know and here, on Google. You won’t be sorry. Thank you all! Dona, Joe & Hercky

I'm visiting the area and was in need of a vet for my dog who was having some heart issues. I called Buckwalter Vet and they quickly got me an appointment. I'm so happy to have found them. They were able to help, the staff is amazing and very caring to your animal. They were very thorough and explained so much to us about what was going on with our dog. My only wish is that I could continue to have them as our vet but we live in WI. I can't say enough about Dr Iyer and his staff of technicians. He even followed up with me a few days later to see how are dog was doing and answered a few more questions. I highly recommend this vet service.

Veterinary service at its finest. The front office staff is so helpful in setting up appointments, filling prescription or food orders and making sure the Veterinarian or Vet Techs know you've arrived. The Vet Techs are so good at taking your pet's history, forwarding any pertinent information to the vet and answering any questions. Most importantly, the Veterinarians are incredibly caring about your pet's health and making sure you're well informed about your pet's plan of treatment. Truly feel lucky to have found such a good veterinary practice for my pets. High quality service!

I love my dogs as they are my family members. When I look for a vet, it is important to me that my vet cares about my pets and takes his/her time to properly treat my pet with kindness and care. In my experience, Buckwalter vets are my kind of vets. I only happened to see Dr. lyer, and am grateful for the way he treats my injured Great Dane and I (demanding parent of my furry babies). He takes his time to explain and is extremely tentative, knowledgeable, kind, and thorough. I know the recovery of my Dane may not be fast or easy, but I trust Dr. lyer and his staff (specifically thanks to Marlee who previously helped to take care of my sick boxer Dazy who at the end got to live until 14 year old), and I know he does what’s best for the recovery of my baby. It is impressive how kind and understanding everyone here and I’m thankful from the bottom of my heart for the care we have received so far.

Staff is really kind and helpful. I have 2 dogs 1 cat and they have always gone above and beyond for them. Pricing is very reasonable probably the best there is in the area. I’ve used Doc Iyer and Fulper and they are both amazing. I highly recommend trusting Buckwalter Vet to anyone. They are also gentle and playful with the pets and my pets love going to the vet which is very nice!
