How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Lucas Veterinary Hospital
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

I can't say enough good things about Lucas Vet. We recently adopted a BIG puppy from a shelter and quickly learned he was very sick. He had constant diarrhea all over the floors like something I have never seen, and we have adopted and fostered many dogs throughout the years. 3 days later my husband ended up in the emergency room very sick and ended up having to stay in the hospital for several days. I was at the end of my rope. I needed to be with my husband, but I had a very sick puppy that I could not leave in a crate with his tummy problems. I called a vet in the area who has a hospital and takes care of my cats. I told the front desk of our situation, but I felt they did not care and basically just blew me off. I was really disappointed. So then I called Lucas Vet, who has taken care of our dogs for many years, but I was unsure if they had overnight facilities. From the moment I called, they were so gracious and kind to me. Without hesitation they told me to bring the dog in and drop him off so I could get to the hospital, and in the meantime they would check out our puppy. To make a long story short, then kept my dog for 3 days and two night. It gave them time to assess the situation with my dog and calm down his stomach, but mostly it gave me the time I needed to take care of my husband and get him home. They are both home now, and they are both doing better. We could not be more grateful to Lucas Veterinary Hospital. They are truly angels on wings to us and they will be getting all of our business going forward. Their compassion in our time of need speaks for itself. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! .... P.S. Another bonus, you never have to wait for more than 5 minutes. They do not overbook, which we really appreciate. When you have anxious pets, this is a blessing.

After our previous veterinarian retired, we bounced around until we found our way here. Our dog was here for the last year of her life, and we can’t thank the people here enough for doing what they did over that year. Our dog felt comfortable walking in here and she was well taken care of during her check ups. We’ll be coming back once we’re ready for another pup.

Dr. Kendall and all of his team at Lucas Veterinary Hospital are just wonderful. Everyone who works at the office is very knowledgeable and compassionate. Dr. Kendall has so much wisdom, skill, and advice and always takes the time to listen to conerns we may have with our pets.

Just started going here after going to another vet I wasn't happy with. So glad I did! Vets are great. They do a great job with annual checkups and shots. Lucas Veterinary will now be our only vet!

We have been taking our pets to Lucas Veterinary hospital for over 18 years. I can't imaging going anywhere else. The level of care and personal attention that you receive from Dr. Kendall and his staff is better than most people get from own their doctor!!
