How to Save on Veterinary Costs at UrgentVet
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.

Initially I went in on Sun and saw Dr. Hunter and was not happy with the service. However early yesterday evening the tech called me back and asked me follow up questions about my kitten Skully. She recommended coming back in, Dr. Siekluki was ABSOLUTELY amazing, she listened to me, examined my kitten, give him SQ fluids, pain meds and sent UA home with meds. Today he is back to his adventurous self!!! Thank you so much. The techs are absolutely amazing as well, thank you for being so kind and listening to a kitten mamma who may have just been scared. This is little Skully worn out at the vet office.

We received excellent care and compassion during an urgent visit for our cat Bobbie, who needed sedation and stitches. Everyone was kind, communicative, and thorough. We appreciate especially being able to call ahead/reserve our place in line to cut down on wait time. Special thanks to Manny and Dr. Sieklucki! Highly recommend.

Good but needs improvement First let me say that the concept of urgent care for pets is needed and I’m glad it exists. My regular clinic referred me here after the vet I was supposed to see for my dog’s condition went home sick. They offered a next day appointment but it was urgent and she needed to be seen that day. I made an appointment online and was able to be seen right away. The staff treated my dog’s condition kindly and her condition is improving. The follow up and documentation I received was good. The areas that need improvement: My dog was given prednisone and the dosing instructions didn’t match the amount of pills on the prescription. The bottle said 14 pills. They gave me 16 but the instructions stated one pill twice a day for 7 days, then one pill once a day for 7 days, then one pill every other day until gone. So I should have had at least 21 pills but I have no idea how many days until gone means. They are closed so I had to call my regular vet who is working on correcting the prescription. That’s pretty careless and potentially life threatening for a pet. My estimate was provided after my dog received care, negating the estimate. The emails came through while I was waiting over an hour for discharge and meds. I was not informed that they were emailing me and I had to sign for treatment after her care. The tech and the vet did not introduce themselves so I wasn’t sure who was who. They did not have name tags and were dressed the same. These are careless mistakes due to low staffing indicative of private equity practices. Would I go back? Yes if I had to but no I know what to look out for. Again it’s important that my dog is getting better and got the treatment she needed.

Pup decided that Sunday was the day to start having back door issues. The most dramatic of puppies! I was able to check in online and came in right at opening. Miguel took the best care of him despite how anxious Malbec is around people. They walked through all the options for his issue and called back the next day to make sure he was ok. Second time here and will definitely come back if, God forbid, there is ever another emergency. Malbec rates the chairs a 100/10!

I visited twice this past week due to some ongoing concerns with out 4 month kitten following her spay surgery. Obviously no one wants to find themselves at the urgent care for their pet, but even given the circumstances, this was one of the best vet experiences we have ever had with one of our pets. The online check-in made it easy to be seen and we had a pretty seamless experience once we arrived. But most importantly, I wanted to acknowledge just how incredible the staff was. Jenna and Ireland helped us get checked in and took our kitten's stats while showing so much compassion and kindness to Piggy and myself. After the initial visit she wasn't showing any improvement so we had to bring her back the next night and the team was great at welcoming us back and getting all the information they needed to get her taken care of. Dr Cooper was so helpful throughout the entire experience. She walked me through all the possible issues that might be affecting our kitty and when we returned she was quick to move forward with treatment options. She listened to everything I had to say about our kitten's behavior and took time to answer any questions I had. Once kitty was home and healing they even followed up with a call the next day to check on her progress. I hope we don't find ourselves back at the vet anytime soon, but I know if we have any future emergencies we will be in great hands with the team here!
