How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Sterling Veterinary 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.
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

She puts on a gruff no nonsense exterior designed to project competence but my son and myself both lost our beloved cats in her care. Neither one should have died. I'll never trust her again.

Took my puppy in to get neutered. I thoroughly inspected him for fleas in the parking lot. Not a single flea anywhere. He is on k9 advantix and I give him flea baths. She charged me for flea treatment. Said he had over 40 fleas on him. She is always extremely rude and has a unpleasant disposition. She never remembers me or my dog. Be prepared to pay more than you are quoted over phone.

Dr. Sterling is a great vet! She isn't rude, she just doesn't care about your drama! She's there to care for your animals and SHE'S GREAT at it. Keep it real Dr Sterling, you're the real deal!

Upon arriving my first thought was “this literally looks like an abandoned house” it is not well kept. I had to walk to the front door to ensure I was in deed at the correct place: The inside of the office did not appear clean to me and the lady at the front desk is not friendly at all. The vet herself did not introduce herself when I dropped my dog off for a spay. My opinion they did not give a welcoming caring attitude. Upon picking up my dog I was given no instructions besides bring her back in 5-7 days to have stitches removed. No paperwork was given when I picked her up. I had to call myself to speak to vet to get further instructions as well as request them to email me a form showing she was spayed. They did not provide a cone to ensure she did not mess with stitches like I’ve had other vets do in the past. I guess I just assumed all vets did this, I was wrong. When asking the front desk lady how many stitches she had her response was I don’t know instead of being professional and going to get the vet for me to speak with. This clinic is reasonable as far as her price but you get what you pay for. I’ll never return to this clinic.
