How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Animal Medical 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.

We love this vet. Animal Medical clinic is absolutely the best. We've been going here for years and my 2 yr old goldendoodle loves the girls here so much, he actually gets excited to go to the vet! The groomer may take a while to get an appointment but it's 100% worth it. My doodle is hyper and he is scared to go back to Pet Smart for grooming and the other place just said he was incompatible with their grooming service. So needless to say they are hands down the best! He got a little matted because my husband passed and he helped me out tremendously with him, but they've accommodated me accordingly, helped us with his tummy issues because of grieving... so they had to shave him pretty short because of the matts but they still made him look beautiful! Thank you guys for all you do! Especially Ashley and Amber... you guys are always there when I call.

I took my dog because he got something in his paw and I didn’t know what it was so I took him to this vet who I thought was an “expert” in his field and could help me. I was so disappointed when he came and took not time to even clean and see my dogs paw but left rather quickly and they told me to meet them at the counter to charge me $60, I asked why? They said for the vet’s time, I said ok so tell me what my dog has in his paw, he just wrote in his report his paw is swollen, I said I already know that and even my 5 year old niece can say that. They told me you have to pay!!! I said but tell me what’s wrong with my dog, they said if you want to know will cost you $550. I was completely disappointed as I was a loyal customer and now moving to somewhere else that can be real expert. Ohh and I told them I want to talk to the vet, they said no! He is not coming because he is the owner!!!! Ohh God has mercy on them. How easily are cheating customers. I wish they could refund my $60 back and give to my niece! The reason why we didn’t accept the medication was because we were already putting the exact same one on our dog. We have been cleaning his wound, and have save thousands of dollars in the process. There wasn’t a need for surgery as you “veterinarians” have said. I added a picture of what his foot looked like that day. One last comment: I suggest you all go back to school to learn how to properly treat animals, as well as get some basics from janitors on how to keep a pristine animal clinic facility! (The premises are 🗑️)

They took great care of our dog. I didn't have to wait at all. Everyone was very friendly and professional. Thanks to the Animal Clinic!

I brought my bunny in to be neutered and the staff was very nice and welcoming. The atmosphere and how they greeted me and him put my nerves at ease as he was my first rabbit. I will be coming back to get my other two bunnies fixed.:) also to mention his recovery was a breeze no issues with pain or stitches in his area. I was provided with an e-collar in case chewing happened (lucky he didn’t care about it)

Took my senior cat here Friday for an emergency visit. They were very nice with her, and very thorough. They made sure to explain all of the options available to us. We left with our prescriptions, and headed home. I appreciated the follow up call on Monday. They seem to genuinely care about the animals they see. Would reccomend this vet in the area.
