How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Hudson Veterinary Hospital

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

Absolutely love Hudson! I was able to get an appointment very quickly and my dogs were genuinely cared for. Miss Dixie absolutely loved allllll the attention. The tech and sexy tatted Santa (Dr. Hudson) were so good with my certified good boy, Dodge, while he was panicking. Very happy with the staff and my service from booking the initial appointment to leaving after the appointment. I will definitely be back! Pics of Dixie and Dodge because I know you want to see them.

Dr Hudson and his staff is amazing! I would recommend him to everyone. Took my kitten in for an exam before he was neutered and they had time that day to go ahead with the procedure which was a relief to me so I didn’t have to stress him out another day..Noah is doing great and Dr Hudson and his staff are very nice!! I can’t say thank you enough

I didn’t know this hospital was here! So glad I googled and found it. I had to bring my almost 15 year old cat who was having some health issues. They got me right in within a couple of hours and I barely waited once I got there. The facility is clean and well staffed. Dr. Chilupe was wonderful. So caring and gentle with my big boy. She took time to explain things as well as costs. My Pierre is doing much better now and I’m so thankful to this facility. I will be going there from here on out with both my kitties and any outside kitties I feed should they need it. Thank you again wonderful staff of Hudson Veterinary Hospital. You all rock!

Friendly staff, the facility was very clean! They were incredibly accommodating and i was so thankful that they were able to check out my fur child to make sure she was okay. I was also surprised to receive a phone call the next morning, they called to see how Heidi was doing after her visit. They seem to really love and care about animals, which is very important to me. I’m grateful to them for putting my own mind at ease and knowing that she’s going to be okay. Thank you Dr. Hudson and staff! Especially to the vet tech that helped us, i didn’t catch her name but I’ll make sure to next time :)
