How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Emancipet

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.

Try to get there early if you don't have an appointment, b/c they will cut off walk ins around 2pm. The Vet and staff were professional and sweet towards my pup. Once in, the service went smoothly and quickly. The cost of the simple visit and 1 yr of pet meds was more than half the cost of my regular Vet clinic. They don't provide all services, so they will refer your pet to a regular Vet if need be.

Staff remained polite . There is only one indication to lineage formation . However, when staff arrived there was an additional sign placed outside the entrance. You’re not greeted by staff in any way form or Fashion. As a result, the check-in process is selective. I arrived at 7:23. There were 3 families ahead of me . The customers who arrived at 7:40 & thereafter were checked in ahead of the 3 of us (total 9 pets). There’s no acknowledgment or interest frm staff as to who arrived first. Pet Owners are subjectively allowed to enter bldg to be seen. Various staff repeatedly preached their sermon “ everyone will be seen”. That’s neither here nor there & hindsight of the fact that I had an 8 o’clock appointment & was skipped. I was not called inside the bldg until 821. I had to cancel a long awaited appt. Yes, I was still late to work.

This is the second time we’ve used this emancipet. The staff is soo very nice. They really understand that these pets are our babies and we want the best care for them. There is always a wait time or a line because the services they provide are extremely affordable. No worries because they always move quickly. They are so professional once they see you and discuss your baby and their treatment. When planning surgeries, they will tell you when to arrive and line up outside to drop them off. Hours will say “closed” but you’re there for drop off

We had our miniature dachshund’s shots here when he was 9 weeks as well as his neutering when he was 9 months. The team was very professional and sweet to all of the dogs! They did a great job during both visits, we will be coming back!

I traded the inconvenience of standing in line to check Billy Bob in for his neuter appointment for very good vet care at about half the price of any vet in my area. The procedure went well, I had him back in the early afternoon, and they diagnosed an eye problem that I wasn't aware of. We are attending to that soon. And the online sign up process is easy to navigate. And they sent reminder notifications. I will use them again if I keep adding strays to my pack.
