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.

***Edited to add: If I could give more stars I certainly would. About a week after our visit, we received the greatest gift! Unbeknownst to us, they had taken paw prints of our boy, laminated them and sent them with the kindest and most heartfelt note. This is a vet clinic that truly loves their careers and their clients. ** Original review: We had to go to the vet for my dog’s end of life care. They were well equipped for a grieving family. They have a special room with comfortable seating, calm white noise, and special snacks for your pets. The tech and vet were both very compassionate and understanding. They didn’t rush us at all. They gave us precious final moments to say goodbye. When everything was done, they told us we could stay as long as we wanted and to just sneak out when we were ready. Since they were open in the evening, we were able to go home and mourn without having other obligations. They weren’t overly crowded, so we didn’t have all the activity going on while we were saying our final goodbyes. I would recommend using this clinic for any pet needs you may have.

Renee was fabulous. My 4lb dog had ran away and came back a mess. The vet made me feel comfortable with the plan in place, she also explained all the options. They were so gentle with my dog and very sweet. He is feeling 10 x better.

We decided that our girl needed to die with dignity. We called 4 different mobile providers and they were not available until the next day and the cost was $800+. Thankfully my mom told us about UrgentVet and the cost was less than $300. They had a lovely living area with a couch, rug, and treats. We didn’t feel rushed and they explained everything. We are so thankful to the tech and vet that were with us on one of the hardest days. I wish I remembered their names. I cannot thank them enough for how sweet, caring, gentle and thoughtful they were. RIP Kylie March 1, 2012- Sept. 15, 2024.

This was the best vet I’ve experienced so far. We called over the phone for an emergency due to dog fight and they were very kind and helped us make an appointment so we would be seen without a doubt. When we got there, we where met out front and immediately taken to to a room and my boy Draco (whom was bleeding and in pain) was greeted by friendly staff and Draco wagged his tail and showed signs that he was comfortable. They broke everything down for us and quoted us and worked with us to be able to afford care. The treatment he needed was cost efficient but still out of my price range and they still worked with me on the price to get him taken care of and I’m very appreciative. I would recommend this vet to anyone that’s in an emergency. Such a great experience!

This place is fantastic. I’ve had many animals and experiences with pet emergencies/illnesses; this place is a godsend. The staff here are so compassionate and helpful. Furthermore, their rates are very fair, and they will help you talk through all your options for treatment and payment, which I found to be very different from most places that seem to price gauge every service. I would definitely recommend this spot to any pet parent.
