How to Save on Veterinary Costs at The Urban Pet
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.

All 3 of my dogs have loved Dr Burgess. We had to put one of ours to sleep and when I say they were so sweet and caring throughout the whole sickness and passing. They even sent flowers. Had to switch vets bc of a move but we are back now. We are treated like family and they know us and love our dogs. You couldn't ask for a better vet.

The Urban Pet is a place with so much love, care and compassion, I just can't express it!. Dr Jill Burgess and her staff are so lovely and true in their devotion to caring for our pets and ultimately us. My little dog Madeline was in great need of care and they managed to get us in right away and made things happen very quickly. She was so complete in her examination that she found issues that have been bothering Madeline for a long time but were never confirmed or addressed by the other vets I had taken her to. I was told she was just that way when in reality she was in pain. I am over the moon grateful to Dr Burgess for her care and expertise in operating on and caring for my sweet dog in the gentlest of ways. Her kindness, and the sweetness of her staff went a long way for me at a time that my dog and I really needed some loving, positive help. Thank you so much for taking care of Madeline. You are angels on earth! I will recommend you, with confidence, to everyone in need of a wonderful, competent, loving veterinary practice! 🐶💕💕💕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+++

Dr. Burgess and the staff are wonderful. They took excellent care of my Sadie during her dental cleaning, and explained everything thoroughly. Other animal hospitals in the area charge exorbitant fees for this service, and the cost was very affordable. I highly recommend them.

Lots if dogs have passed through my house over many years, and different vets have followed. This place has been the best for too many reasons to count.

Dr. Burgess is great, so caring for my kitten today that I could not get an appointment until after Memorial Day or weeks down the road with other vet clinics.
