How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Animal Dental 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.

My mother and I were extremely pleased with the treatment we and our dog received. Not only were they nice enough to schedule the procedure the same day as the consult since we had to travel two hours from and two hours back, the doctor was also mindful of finishing before we would be hitting traffic going home! Her and the tech were also very informative and easy to understand what they were planning to do/what they ended up doing. The best part is that our little girl has had no complications! Overall, we were very satisfied and the distance was well worth it!

Dr Startup was fantastic. She explained everything in detail and made sure that all of our questions were answered. Tricia was absolutely wonderful! She kept us informed throughout the entire process and was just incredible in making sure we had all the info we needed. Discharge instructions were explained in detail and we left feeling as if Jackson (my handsome lil man and super chill cat) was in the best hands and taken care of as if he were their own. Thanks Dr Startup and Tricia!!! You rock! And Jackson is doing great!!!

Dr Startup amd staff (Tricia and Sonya) are very attentive and thorough with explanations. Dr Startup explained what she recommended and why, with the ultimate decision being up to me. I strongly suggest making an appointment with this practice. Yes, a primary veterinarian can do dental cleaning, but for any problems that are found , you are referred to a vet dental specialist. . Your pet is having to go under anesthesia twice, which is another reason that I chose to go to Dr startup. Knowledge, expertise and great care. Think of it like your own care… you don’t go to your primary care doctor for a dental cleaning. I will always use this practice for my boxer’s dental care in the future.

Dr Startup and Stephanie were great. Mr. Bear had a growth in his mouth that was becoming more and more problematic for him. The surgery went great and Dr. Startup and Stephanie provided Bear with the best after care and everyone from the office followed up frequently to check on Bear right after surgery. We are happy to report Bear recovered beautifully. We had been softening his food even after the recommended two weeks (just to be extra careful). He finally let us know he was done with that and is now back on his crunchy food, just how he likes it. 💜 thank you Dr. Startup and staff for helping Bear and giving us peace of mind that his quality of life will no longer be impacted by that growth. This furkid means the world to us and you helped him feel better. We call him “Mr. Lippy” or “teefs” now because his top lip gets stuck on his bottom teeth but it’s just adorable. 😂😂
