How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Cook 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.

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.

Was recommended by a co-worker to try Cook Vet clinic. Have had 3-4 visits and have been very happy with the people and service. Also they do their best to keep costs down and accommodate your wishes. I never have "Sticker Shock" here, they are very reasonable and that is important to everyone now days!

I went to them in a panic, one of my cats ate a plant that is highly toxic to cats. And before judging, it was bright to my place and I was not home so it was left there for me. Anyway , they were OUTSTANDING. I found my vet for rapid city. Thank you so very much. My boy is doing great and playing with his brother .

I took my dogs there a few years ago and the vet there was awesome. Then a couple of years later, I had a different vet as the one I used to have moved on. The vet there now always is in a rush and doesn't do a thorough check-up. She also doesn't have a "bedside manner." My mom had the same poor experience. I won't be going there anymore. 😕

Sadly, I would recommend against this clinic for euthanization and cremation of pets. I had heard great things, but our experience was poor. The receptionist was very nice on the phone and when we arrived. Vet techs were also very kind and compassionate, with good communication about the process. However, the vet herself said very little and offered no sympathy. We were told that the remains would be back in 2 weeks, and that we would get a call. 6 weeks later we had heard nothing, so we finally called and were told they were waiting for us to come pick her up. Upon closer examination, her remains appear to be a mixture of large bone chunks, dirt and sticks. They also repeatedly call us by the wrong names, including addressing the grievances letter to the wrong person. It is very sad and disappointing, especially for the cost. We would have gone with another clinic in town, for the same cost, if we knew what the experience would be.
