How to Save on Veterinary Costs at McCormick Animal 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.

I highly recommend Dr. John McCormick to take great care of your fur babies! He has cared for several of our cats over the last 20 years. His calm and caring demeanor is a blessing throughout all stages of your pet's life. His friendly staff are amazing as well!!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about McCormick Animal Clinic. Both Doctor McCormick and Dr. Hillary were so attentive and caring. Our senior dog Lazar got very sick with a respiratory infection. I couldn’t afford hospitalization, so Dr. McCormick said I could transport him daily and they cared for and medicated him - this was a last ditch effort. After 5 days of this impromptu acute care and hand feeding, Lazar turned the corner. A bit of a miracle and it’s given me an xtra few quality years with my best friend. I will always be so grateful! You can trust these folks - they’re exceptional.

Speedy and exceptional care. Staff go over invoices and costs super well, right in the room. Checking with you several times prior to services. I brought both my cats here and my large senior dog. Appreciate them letting you be with your pet during the exam upon request. I wouldn't go here if they wouldn't let me be a part of the exam, so it's greatly appreciated. Especially after going through 3 different vet practices just this year.. The only complaints would be wishing staff felt more comfortable drawing blood..on both cats and dogs. And would actually attempt to do so instead of just saying they can't. Then getting a Dr to draw blood on the back leg of a very large dog.. with very big veins.. Who is trained for needle pokes etc. The easiest patient to get blood from and they wouldn't even try. The Dr was visibly annoyed by this. Vet techs should know how to draw blood if they have a license and are getting paid for those services. End of discussion. Dr can't do everything without a solid, trained team. And other complaint would be lots of chaos in the boarding department. I don't personally believe pets should board where healthcare is the goal. Especially surgeries or sensitive procedures. Where sick animals are being hospitalized or are recovering from a trauma. Very loud in the clinic from the boarding side. Both in the exam room and in the lobby, so if you have a shy pet definitely get some form of sedation. Very loud. Which is expected with boarding facilities but makes hearing your veterinarian difficult. While waiting for your appointment you will encounter pets coming in for boarding, grooming, nail trims, etc. I had to push a hyper dog off me and my cat so please be aware people come in frequently with high energy anxious pets. Happened all 3 separate times I went to McCormick Animal Clinic. Had to physically move away from hyper dogs. People definitely like to let their dogs come up to you and jump on you, etc. Not okay- period. Wish some intervention came from the reception staff.

I trust only them with my fur babies when I go out of town . They are like extended family and my boys Paul and Blue two Aussies see them for all their needs. Grooming , boarding and vet care . They are always excited to see them which says alot to me and comforts me when I have to leave them . They have taken care of several of my pets over the past 20 years .
