How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Abbott 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.

Absolutely disgusting experience. This place should be shut down. I came in with my dog after a thunderstorm—he was stumbling, weak, and clearly in distress. I called ahead, and they quoted me $145 just to walk in, without even asking what was going on. That should’ve been the first red flag. I arrived carrying my dog in my arms, and not a single person looked up or approached us. No urgency. No compassion. Just paperwork and immediate payment—before anyone even laid eyes on my dog. This is supposed to be a medical facility? We waited about 15 minutes in an empty lobby. A tech took us back and checked his temperature. Then the so called-vet, Iqbal Javaid, DVM, came in, barely did a physical exam, and said he’d be back with a quote. When he returned, he handed me a nearly $800 estimate and still had no clue what was wrong with my dog. No explanation. No effort. Just a giant bill and vague suggestions for tests. When I took the quote and the vet’s notes to leave, he lost it. Literally shouted at me and tried to snatch the papers out of my hands. I had to RUN out of the clinic with my sick dog in my arms because this unprofessional man was physically trying to take back documents I needed for my records. I called UrgentVet in Cypress, got seen right away, paid $223 after the exam, plus full treatment, and —surprise—they actually cared. They checked my dog the moment I walked in, explained everything clearly, and treated him with the urgency he needed. No drama. Just real veterinary care. How can a place like this be an animal caring facility. Zero compassion, zero ethics, and zero business handling emergencies. If you love your pet, go anywhere else. And if you’ve had a horrible experience like I did—report them.

This was, without question, the worst experience I have ever had with a veterinary clinic.” “Because of their mistakes and lack of responsibility, I ended up spending around three thousand dollars in additional travel and related expenses.” “Despite repeatedly asking for help, no one responded or took responsibility.” “To make matters worse, after my dog Oreo received vaccinations at this clinic, he suffered an allergic reaction.” “Instead of providing proper support or follow-up, they failed to respond and even charged more money.” “The lack of professionalism, communication, and accountability was shocking.” “If you care about your pet and expect a clinic to stand behind its work, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.” “Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this clinic to anyone.

I took my fur baby in not knowing that she would need emergency surgery. The team at Abbott Animal Clinic immediately took great care of her and for that I am grateful. Thanks to all the wonderful staff there from Coco and I.

Similar situation...Our pet was not eating & in order to find out what was wrong with him I was quoted almost $1,000! Just to try and find out what was wrong. Took him elsewhere where they did what was necessary 1st and paid only what was necessary which were an exam & xray at $250.

This place is awesome. Staff is friendly and supportive. From the reception to vet techs are friendly and welcoming. Dr Javaid was highly recommended to me, and he did not disappoint. You can trust these folks to care for your babies. Thank you for helping us with Callie.
