How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Allen Family Vet

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.

We brought our dog Max in for a check up and to find out about a lingering cough he had, they suggested we give him 4 vaccines of which we agreed too. The next day Max couldn't walk and now 6 days later he is near death. They have no answers and gave us no warning that any of these vaccines could harm him. We have had Max since he was 9 weeks old, he is now only 9 yrs old. This was Max 3 weeks ago, healthy and vibrant. I would not recommend taking your beloved pet to this vet. We are heart broken. Update our Max just passed away. I am posting an image of the vaccines that were given to Max with no explanation to us on what if any side effects were common.

Such a welcoming and compassionate group of professionals! I had driven a long way and was about 2 hours early for our last minute appointment scheduled earlier that day. I reluctantly stepped inside and let them know I was here and very early. Even though it was their lunch hour...they graciously pulled us back and took great care of my aging pup with a hurt paw. I am so am so thankful! I would definitely recommend this group if you need a trusted, caring, and compassionate vet for your pet!

Very friendly staff. Lillian was amazing. Thorough and kind. She made us feel comfortable on our first visit here while our dog was injured. Dr Mathis is awesome. She was patient while we talked through everything. We are switching all our vet care for both dogs over to this place. They accommodated us on a Saturday and provided tremendous care and service.

Allen Family Vet was recommended to us by our dog groomer and we are so very happy we took that advice! I love the full dictated report we receive at each visit. They are very thorough and buttoned down. An added plus is the clinic was recently remodeled!
