How to Save on Veterinary Costs at True Animal Vet
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.

Dr Nicholson and the True Animal team are fantastic! My baby Blink had to go in for a spay. I was just not ready for this. Something just told me it wasn't time but I took her in anyway. So it started off with me getting a call from Dr Nicholson to tell me that the ECG they ran on Blink came back with some issues so they wanted to take an x-ray of her heart and send the results to the cardiologist. No problem better safe than sorry. Ok doctor says it's ok to go ahead with surgery. So they do the spay but then Blink doesn't want to come out of the anesthesia like she should so they keep her a while longer. So we go to pick her up that evening and she still is not up like she should be. So we go back and see if maybe seeing us would help. She just was laying there looking at us. This wasn't my Blink. She was so cold too. Dr Nicholson was concerned about her belly so she did an ultrasound and there was fluid in there so she asked if she could go back in to see what's going on. No problem, do it! We might as well go home and she said she was going to drive her over to the emergency hospital when she finished. She will call us when she finds out what's going on. We could pick her up there in the morning. We waited 2 hrs before we heard anything and Dr Nicholson said she opened her up and she was just bleeding. She had to stop that which was very hard. So as soon as she got that stopped she closed her up and took her to Blue Pearl Emergency Hospital for the night. I didn't sleep all night!! I was so sure I was going to lose my little girl. The next morning we drove over to the hospital to pick her up and my little baby was awake. Weak but awake. So we went to pay our bill and we were told that Dr Nicholson took care of the bill!! Wow! So we took Blink back to True Animal Vet for observation for the day and we went to pick her up that evening. My god, after what we all went through you would never know this dog almost died! She looked amazing. I don't know how I can ever thank Dr Nicholson and the True Team for taking care of my baby Blink. They are now my family vet!

I went to True Animal Vet to have my dog’s dental care done. Everyone from the receptionist to Dr. Nicholson was accommodating and informative about the process. I accidentally fed my dog the day of the procedure so he had to come back the next day but I could tell he was more comfortable coming in the second time letting me know he liked the staff from the first day! Overall a great experience and highly recommend.

Our sweet boy, Oliver Martin Jones (Ollie ) had a pretty bad accident that almost cost him his leg. Dr. Salcetti and her staff worked hard on our little boys wounds. We came in weekly to have his wounds washed and rewrapped. The odds of saving the leg were slim, but the staff at True Animal Vet worked their magic. Now you would never know anything ever happened to Oliver‘s little leg. Oliver M Jones LOVES True Animal Vet and so do we! Now we bring our whole pack for their vaccinations and exams. We can’t say enough about the awesome staff here and how reasonable the prices are. Oliver will forever be grateful we found this place!! Thank you Dr. Salcetti and Suzy!! MAGIC!!!

I absolutely love True Animal Vet! The staff there is always so kind, Vanessa is very tentative and really listens to all the concerns that I may have with my sweet Lucy. Dr. Nicholson truly cares about her patients I trust that we are always in good hands with her. I highly recommend True Animal Vet every time we go we always receive the best care!

My Teddy was having severe neck pain suddenly. Called Tru Vet from a recommendation. They were able to fit me in the very next morning. They were thorough, extremely thoughtful and skilled. Didn’t try to sale me on costly diagnostic tests. The total cost of visit was $147. Very reasonable. Would never of got such a fair price at any other vet. Teddy is resting nicely with his new medications and treatment plan. He’s resting well per Docs orders. True Vet is my new vet. When you see that Aggie Ring on the Vets hand, you know you’re in good hands.
