How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Neartown 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.

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.

This vet clinic used to be good with friendly technicians and doctors and my dog loved coming here. Now, it's a completely different story. The front desk is rude and short, in person and on the phone. Last time I was there one of the technicians argued with me over how to bring my dog into the room because she was anxious. I didn't appreciate being talked to like a child, that was so unprofessional. Thirdly, there's no doctors that are quickly in and out. They are nice enough but not very helpful and do not sit with you and take time to explain everything thoroughly. Lastly, the prices are CRAZY! My dog went in for ONE flu vaccine today and they charged us for the tech visit, a medical waste fee, and the shot (overpriced per other vets) and it was $100! That is crazy for one vaccine! And she was due for another and they forgot to give it to save us money from having to go back. Overall, avoid this place at all costs if you want to save money and be treated with respect.

I’ve been with Neartown Animal Clinic for 8 years now, for both my pups and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better place. The entire team is incredibly attentive, caring and professional. Every time we come in, I feel completely confident that my dogs are getting the best care possible. The doctors and staff are fully at your disposal and so caring with my dogs and I trust the doctors completely. From every annual check up, vaccine tech appointment, and emergency or even simple concerns I or my pups have. Neartown Animal Clinic is the best and top care there is for Pets.Thank you for all you do for my babies. 🐶💛 Could not recommend enough!

I went to Neartown in need of a second opinion for my pup who I was being told needed $600+ x-rays for an obstruction. Neartown recognized the symptoms as something entirely different and after a week of antibiotics, she’s doing much better! Now, several weeks and a follow up visit later, their treatment has helped heal her gut and made her a happy dog, once again. Thank you Neartown for taking such good care of my fur baby!

I truly hate this place - they will milk every possible dollar out of you and pitch you a bunch of claims that your pet will need when it’s not necessary. You have to negotiate with them and ask what is absolutely necessary otherwise they will take advantage of you. I spent over $1k for my dog on one visit and they didn’t even write up a summary… that’s the bare MINIMUM. absolutely disappointing DO NOT GO HERE

Update: I have was pretty upset when I found out Dr. Miller had left - she’s been the first vet I’ve felt truly comfortable with. I immediately felt relieved after meeting Dr. Qassem!!! She was wonderful - listened to be go on and on, answered my many questions, and was willing to talk everything through. I am so grateful to know my doggos hands continue to be in safe hands. Destine was also amazing - kind, patient, and knowledgeable. Thank you, thank you, thank you! —————— My experience since transferring both of my dogs to Neartown has been amazing!! Dr. Miller is truly wonderful!!! I’ve been at the ease since moving my girls here and with Dr. Miller’s approach to their care. I wasn’t pressured to make rushed decisions or overwhelmed with lots of treatments/medications, etc. Instead she listened and truly took time to become familiar with my dogs to recommend the best treatment. I feel confident my dogs will never be over medicated or in a constant state of change and that they will always receive the most professional and well-informed treatment plans. It doesn’t end with Dr. Miller. William, who scheduled my first appointment and handled my checkout, was exceptional. He made the whole process easy and shared what options were available for getting my dogs’ medication. Daisy greeted us when we arrived. She could not have been kinder or more welcoming. My dogs loved our vet technician Alexis!! Even my shy German Shepherd puppy. She was gentle and patient with them. I’m pretty sure they’d be excited to go to their next appointment just to see her…and the rest of the team. Thank you Neartown Animal Clinic!!!
