How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Emerald Veterinary Service

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

I cannot recommend Dr. Cassens and the team at Emerald Vet enough. They were able to get us in next day for a very worrying head tilt for one of our young rats. Her treatment was very appropriate and he was mostly better within a few days! We have been to 2 other exotic vets in the general area, and they are definitely on the lower end of the price spectrum for exotic vets. The team even offered additional support and checked up on him via email. A final lovely surprise was the letter they sent! Absolutely adorable, my partner loved it. We will definitely be back with all of our pets!

There is not ANYONE else I would trust my fur babies with. Dr. Cassen and her amazing staff has seen us through the loss of our 13 year old cat Electra to cancer. Everything was handled with such care, compassion and empathy. Not to mention solid medical and personal advice. I don't think I could have handled it without her and her team. They have also been stellar at dealing with our feisty chihuahua PrayTelll. He is definitely a handful at the vet. Another review mentioned that Dr. Cassen lacked patience with her fearful dog, but I have experienced nothing but patience and careful handling. Other vets treated our dog like a monster. At emerald vet PrayTell is treated like the sassy, personal boundary driven chihuahua he is. The pricing is fair considering the quality of the treatment and they always give you options if something doesn't fit your financial situation. without compromising the health of your pet. Even if we moved out of the area.... our pets will always go to Emerald. Thank you Dr. Cassen and the amazing team!

If you have a cat who hates the vet, this is the place to try! Have been going here for a year now and they are fantastic with my anxious kitty. The doctor has helped him lose some lbs and we have a plan to fix his overgrooming. She's super knowledgeable and passionate about cats which can be rare for some vets. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Cannot recommend enough!

Dr. Cassens and her team at Emerald truly care for your pets and want to see them get well or stay well. They recently helped us through a very difficult time with our cat from diagnosis, to treatment and then his final transition. They communicated with us every step of the way. Each member of the team treated us and our cat kindly and we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you Dr. Cassens for giving us a little more time with our amazing cat, Luke.

Our cat had a sore leg and a severe si 8s I section. They put him on antibiotics, did urine test, they gave him fluids (he was very dehydrated). His leg was just strained and got better in a few days. Sneezing and excess mucus were better in 5 days. He was miserable, but now he's like his old self. The Dr. and staff were very calm with Jack. They touch base twice after our visit. I highly recommend Emerald Veterinary service. The facility was clean and inviting.
