How to Save on Veterinary Costs at VetExpress Animal Urgent Care

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

VetExpress Animal Urgent Care saved my puppy’s life. They are truly a blessing. They took my dog in while I was out of town and took care of everything. They called me throughout the process with detailed updates and comforted me when I became worried. The surgeon and the vet tech went above and beyond when complications arose during surgery and saved my fur baby. They have continued to support me and my dog during her recovery. They are always patient and willing to answer questions when I call.

Amazing team here!!! Everyone was so nice and considerate which is so appreciated when you’re dealing with an emergency. Dr. Abdellah even called a few days after to check on my dog and see how he was recovering. 10/10 recommend!! wish they were our primary vet!!

I cannot say how grateful I am for this doctor and his team. My 3 year old Maltipoo had one of the worst cases of bladder stones that her vet had ever seen - almost on her deathbed. Dr. Abdellah was able to perform a same-day surgery, and went above and beyond during the procedure. I called multiple times the next day (just as a worried pet mom) to give updates, and even shared a google drive folder with photos & an excel sheet of her feedings/bathroom times, and Dr. Abdellah and his team diligently checked everything I posted. I am so lucky to have been referred to him, and so lucky that he decided to go into this field. Josephine is recovering perfectly and her staples/incision points are healing beautifully. 10 stars all around. (Photos are a happy and healthy Josie post surgery!)

I brought my pug in for a scratched eye and everyone was so nice! It was a super quick and easy visit. The vet was kind and thorough. The tech was really understanding and sweet with my nervous little pug. Price wasn't bad at all. I will definitely be back if I need an emergency vet again!

Our sweet mini doxie had blood in her urine. We were able to walk in and bee seen quickly on Sunday. We were taken care of very well. Each step they were transparent with the coat of her care and they spend time answering my questions. Hopefully we don’t need to be back. But we will always have them in our pockets if needed!
