How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Vetco Total Care Animal 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.

This has taken me awhile to write. Losing my best friend, protector, and my soul dog has not been easy. We took our sweet Bell in on October 29 because she was not acting like herself. If I’m being honest, this office was not super close but they were open. We had an appointment later in the day but gave them a call and they were able to get us in immediately. They did blood work and everything they could to assess what was going on. We went home hopeful that our sweet girl was going to be ok but still kept an eye on her symptoms. The next morning, we rushed her back to the office (again, they got us in immediately). Our sweet, loving, beautiful Bella was ready to cross the rainbow bridge. I cannot explain or express how much care, love, and patience the whole staff showed towards us and our girl. Every amazing human in that office was there for us and I am so beyond grateful for them. Knowing that we had the absolute best humans watching and caring for Bella when she passed gave us peace of mind. I am truly so grateful for everyone in this office. Attentive staff, clean environment , understanding, patient, knowledgeable and forthright. *Side note that they have a few ways to help with payments/costs, if needed.* I will only trust this office with my fur baby, whenever/ if ever that time comes.

We’ve been taking our fur family members here for a while now. The staff is always so friendly, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable. We get seen quickly and they always make our puppies feel safe and loved. They will continue to be where we take our pets!

BEST VETCO EVER! My rebellious dog ran away as we were putting him into our car, after a very easy and smooth vaccination appointment. All of the staff came outside trying to catch our crazy pup during a CRAZY STORM! They all ended up soaking wet, but they didn't care, truly treated our dog like their family! GO TO THIS VET, you can tell the management, front desk staff, and vet are a well oiled machine. Very thankful for their help (also prices are a lot better than these other vets). 10/10 recommend!

5 stars don't cover it but they try. Extremely grateful to Dr. Marcum and Dr. Louvar for their excellent care to our giant baby. Dr. Marcum made herself available to us post surgery during the snow days that this location was closed, on a direct line. Gave us so much peace of mind, truly outstanding. Then CAITIE, the hospital ops manager at this location, my heart goes out to her. She moms all the pets who go in and out as if they're her own. Never mind her punctuality and promptness to stay on top of everything with so much grace. She sets the tone for everyone else in this location to do their absolute best. Thank you Vetco Kemah for your unwavering commitment.

If your pets are like your children this is your facility. Caitie the manager is one of the best humans you will be lucky enough to meet.. Her love for animals shows in all her actions from having to put make hard decisions as a owner and to emergency during a holiday weekend she has gone above and beyond to making sure my pet was in the best care.. Her facility is clean and her team is amazing..I can't say enough about her and her team
