How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Animal Health Centre
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 found Animal Health Center 6 years ago when my cat had an emergency. They had me come in straight away and I knew then that this was the place for us. Although to had to say goodbye to my best friend today after 15 long years, I strongly recommend this as your vet of choice. The staff is always friendly, and beyond compassionate. The doctor takes his time to explain things for the now and future. When the time is right for me to have another pet I won't hesitate to come here again. Thank you for being such caring people.

Our regular vet is out on a family emergency. So we could not get our 11mobth okd rescue un for what I believed was a "Hot Spot" on her back. The earliest we could get in would have been nid next week. These things get worse quickly. Called the practice and they were able to help us out, getting our dog in before lunch. Exam, treatment and meds all came to $245.00. The vet was very soft spoken, gave out dog a preliminary exam and took care of the necessary treatment. Although we had another dog years ago get. A similar skin condition, the doctor carefully explained and asked if we had any questions during the visit. Glad they were able to help in a pinch and get out girl in for a visit. Nothing good ever happens on a Friday, but today things worked out. Whe we left, Dr. D. said give us a call if need anything. I like to see he helped out another practice's patient in time of emergency. Thank you Dr. D.

Dr. Durham (and staff!) was excellent! He did a textbook job of explaining everything, confirming we understood, and getting our dog taken care of. Pricing was reasonable, and felt like he did a thorough job of looking our dog over, and giving him an accurate diagnosis. Not to mention he's a really nice person! We will definitely be going back!

Dr. Durham Is an amazing vet. You can tell that he really, truly cares about the pets he treats. He has a great staff as well. We had to put our Beagle Dory to sleep today which was very hard for us. They were very caring and made us feel comfortable during the whole process. Answered all our questions and helped our baby go peacefully from her broken down body. We are very thankful to have found Dr. Durham and his staff. We cannot thank him enough. It’s very hard to find a vet that cares this much for the pets that he treats. Thank you so much Dr. Durham and your staff.

I have been bringing my dogs here for 4 years and they are much healthier thanks to the care they receive. No fluff no nonsense just comprehensive accurate information and treatment with low cost pricing.
