How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Animal Health 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
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.

I’ve been bringing my babies here for almost a year now. I always feel confident they’re getting the best care and at decent prices. Dr Locke is sure to inform each patient parent of everything they need to know and any recommendations he has. I had my golden whose eye cyst grew too large and it was about $400-$450 for sedation and removal.

Love this vet and the staff. Great quality of care and attention to detail, and takes a lot of time explain things to you. Highly recommend!!

Not impressed. Took my cat Charley in due to a UTI and they were more concerned about other conditions, so they ran a lot of tests, why costs over $400 and sent me home with pills I couldn’t get down his throat. Go to next appointment and the young vet (new) just looks at me and really doesn’t seem to care and help address the condition!

P.O.S $1100 FOR SHOTS you guys r ridiculous you can go to tractor supply and get them for $10 a piece and maybe you should give an estimated price up front and ask if people would like to proceed with the visit Jesus u guys are something else!!!! Then want to act like A holes! I could say plenty more about this place but I'll keep it to myself find another vet is all I gotta say!

I'm shocked and saddened for our community that I even have to write this review today. We have used Dr. Locke (now retired) in the past for 2 emergency situations (one w/ my service dog and the other with my daughters rabbit), and recovery care, and he always handled them with compassion and understanding. We are always on a budget as I have a lot of medical expenses regularly due to my chronic illness, so money is tight. In the past Dr. Locke was very good about working with us financially when we needed to, and never refused to see my animals because of my inability to pay everything up front. He also necer made us wait in an emergency-EVER. Today, I called in a panic, and told the girl what was happening with my dog, and that it was definitely an emergency- possibly life or death. She came back on the phone and told me that they would try to work her in but didn't know when she could be seen- even after I told her I was concerned she is dying from possibly drinking mop solution. I explained to her that I just got out of the hospital with a spinal injury from a fall, and am awaiting a surgical procedure so my husband has been having to take care of me full time and he would be the one bringing her. Still no time frame or urgency on her part. I was very honest and up front about our current financial situation and told her that I could pay a minimum of $143.00 today at the very least, maybe more since we hadn't talked to family yet, but I would need a payment plan on the remaining balance- and even offered to provide my account info for auto withdrawals for payments if they could just please speak with the new vet or office manager and tell them the severity of the situation. The girl said they don't make exceptions and that the policy is you have to pay everything up front. She told me to bring my dog and I could pay $55 for the vet to look at her and we could either decide to move forward for payment or not, this does not include anything except the exam. She said any testing that would need to happen, blood work/xray etc., would have to be paid up front, no exceptions. I asked her again if she spoke to the vet about the severity of the situation and was this was the vets call, or could I maybe speak with someone with the authority to make an arrangement of some kind please? She said there wasn't anyone else I could talk to and I could pay to talk to the vet at the exam. First, why would I pay to ask the vet to consider a special payment arrangement in an emergency situation instead of just trying to talk about it beforehand? Second, when did compassion get thrown out the window? I know everyone out here is struggling, believe me I live it daily, but ZERO understanding or willingness to help someone as a medical professional with moral standards is kind of crazy to me. I'm not asking for a handout, I was willing to pay them, but really? Disappointed doesn't even begin to describe how I feel. We need more caring people on this world and ai feel like or community deserves better.
