How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Southwest 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.
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.

It's a definite NO for me. I have some experience in the vet/medical world and am the type of pet owner that is not afraid to advocate for their babies.. This is my first encounter with a vet that meets the questions of a concerned pet parent with contempt. It is bizarre and very off-putting. Even the assistant looked a bit shocked at the way he spoke to me. His explanations are lacking. His responses are curt and therefore INVITE query. Bedside manner has officially left the building. I hope that he will retire soon because he is downright RUDE with a major stick up the behind! Big red flag. I've taken my babies in more than once and NEVER gotten a diagnosis for anything and he literally told ME to research my pets issue! Zero improvement to note with any treatment hes given either. Red flag #2. He is always late to the room for appointments. Red flag #3. Their prices are not reasonable! I was surprised at this because so many reviewers raved about great prices. Visits cost hundreds of dollars (Exam fee ALONE is in the neighborhood of $60) and you'll leave with more questions than answers! I have seen enough. I absolutely do not trust this office with my babies and will not return. I am truly perplexed by the positive reviews!

Dr Eitelman has been my cat Mason doctor every since he was diagnosed with diabetes many years ago. I recently had to have him put down for kidney failure, and the doctor and his staff were the best. The doctor was always compassionate, and the staff made sure you had all the best options available. The doctor even called on a Sunday night to discuss the different options available. I would use their services again when I get a new animal. I can't thank them enough for everything they have done.
