How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Nexus Veterinary Specialists

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.

Had a cat that got hurt. Took them to nexus/crossroads for the emergency visit. At first my family and I thought this establishment was very helpful. WE WERE WRONG. Nexus "helped" us and left me with a 5,000 dollar bill. Later took the cat to another vet for a second opinion. Crossroads FAILED to inform us of the quality of life my animal would have even though it was requested info. They FAILED to mention he had 6-8 cheek fractures. Paid for them to fix his jaw with surgery, but FAILED to put his jaw back in place. FAILED to close off open wounds or give us other options. He lost more than half his body weight in less than a week at this clinic. The vet techs knew of his injuries and yet handled him like he was a disgusting creature. It broke my heart to see how they carried my injured pet.

Took my dog for an evaluation of a leg injury. Was quickly taken into an examination room, and both Thomas Hardy DVM and his able assistant were very gentle and caring while examining my older dog. Dr. Hardy was in no rush as he patiently and in detail explained to me every detail of my dog's injury and all our options. I was very impressed with the service and treatment here.

They were very nice and very helpful, my dog had to have Knee surgery there and Doctor Jones was amazing! My dog is very protective and scared and they did a great job working with her and taking there time. They also let me pick her uo the same day which was amazing!! Everything about our visit was great!! I do however wish they would have atleast given me a call thw next day to check and see how my pet was doing after surgery.

My husband and I took our dog to be put to sleep. They said it was $60. Then gave us $25 options to get her ashes in a nice box or disposed of in a community spot. I told my husband that we would just take her home & spread her on the property, and he said he could even bury her ashes. NOT ONCE did the lady tell us she would not be cremated! When I went to pick her up & I was upset to learn this, and I was venting to the receptionist. Some other young lady mentions that we just couldn’t make up our minds this morning!! BUT SHE WAS NOT the in the room! I didn’t even see her!!! So I do not understand why she would flat lie!! So I was forced to carry my Jenny in a cardboard box & we will have to bury her at home.
