How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Mountain View Veterinary 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

These are some of the kindest and most caring people I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. My dog is almost 16 and was not eating, drinking water, and could barely walk without falling over. I was heartbroken because she's my baby and from calling other unnamed vets over the phone they had basically told me it sounds like she's about to pass away. Brought her to mountain view the next day, they got me in within an hour and gave her some steroids shots and a prescription to take home. They never once told me I needed to pay ridiculous costs or made me feel like I was being pressured. Flash forward 3 days and my dog is acting like a puppy again. Eating again, drinking again, and in so much less pain than she was. So so thankful for the entire staff. I would and have recommended them to everyone I know. Thank you.

I’m very torn with this review. With my dog, a 13 yr old who still acted like a puppy, we took here and they were amazing with us. We found out devastating news about fluid around his heart that became the reason for the end of his adventure and they were incredibly kind. Now expecting the same compassion with my older cat who had thyroid issues, I brought her here. I was very scared about what the verdict would be especially so soon after losing our lucky. The lady veterinarian walked in and as I’m talking, she interrupted to ask if I brought her in to put her down. When I say I was actually speechless as I was looking for help, not death, I couldn’t come up with anything to say. I ended up leaving there and waiting another week to go to pinnacle in Clemson, which I regret every day as who knows if they could have changed the outcome. They were very compassionate and explained why she was showing end of life signs and she was hurting. So again I had to make this decision within just a month. I had such anxiety every time I had to drive by Mountain View veterinary… I don’t wish that pain on anyone else. I’m not sure why this lady thought her tone or attitude was called for but it took me a year to write this because I’d hoped my experience was a once off. Since we moved here, their rating has dropped from 4.6 to 4.1… we’ve only been here a year and a half maybe. I don’t think I’d risk this place with anyone who cares for their babies. Thanks for reading.

I took my cat Stumpy, a tiny 11 year old three legged beauty I've owned her entire life to see Dr. Hutchinson two weeks ago because her chronic nasal congestion was worsening to the point that the poor cat was in distress. They told me to come in as soon as was convenient for me. They were very compassionate and efficient. Dr. Hutchinson gave us an oral antibiotic, and within 5 days, Stumpy was breathing freely with no congestion at all ! She looks like her younger self, purring, running around and playing, instead of lying around all day struggling to get air in. MT. VIEW VETERINARY is AWESOME

I was told about Moutain View by a worker at a local pet store a few years ago. She highly recommended them. She was right. The Doctor and the staff have been nothing but polite and understanding and caring through the hardships. I have nothing but praise for Moutain View! Thank you Moutain View! Ted Watkins

I cannot say enough good things about Mountain View Veterinary Services. Dr Hutchinson and staff are all great care providers. They are friendly, professional, and compassionate. We moved to the area 3 years ago and thought we would never find another place like our Vet in Charleston. What a surprise, we found a better place. They knew just the right way to treat our 14 year old, set in his ways, stubborn dog. They even afffectionally nicknamed him “The Old Man”. Our dog recently passed away at 17 years of age. They were very compassionate and provided wonderful care all along the way. You will not find a better team to care for your pets!!
