How to Save on Veterinary Costs at UrgentVet
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.

New to the area and didn’t have a vet yet when my senior dog came had an emergency that needed to be seen immediately. They are open on Saturdays and you can make an appointment easily online. Check in is easy and the office is clean and welcoming. The staff are very friendly and compassionate. You can tell they LOVE their jobs and work towards finding solutions for your pets. I feel the services are affordable and accurate. The staff took the time to explain everything to me and made sure I understood and agreed to services. Would bring another pet here is needed.

Cannot say enough great things about UrgentVet - Clear Lake. I have unfortunately had to make a couple trips over the years, and every time I’ve visited I have been met with kindness, gentleness, full attention, and cleanliness. The place is spotless! Every tech and doctor I’ve met has been wonderful and comforting. They really care about you and your pets. Another wonderful thing is they are extremely transparent about pricing, which is hard to find in the veterinary department. They just truly want to help in the best and easiest ways possible, and they make that clear. Maisy and I say thank you so so much, UrgentVet!🩷

Great urgent care for pets in the area. Everyone was so nice and knowledgeable. How took wonderful care of Boston Terrier who broke her dew claw. It wasn’t as expensive as it would have been going to another emergency vet in the area. I definitely recommend and will go back when needed.

I brought my sick dog in after he had been throwing up since the previous day. My Aunt referred them because they were also amazing when she needed them. From the time I called until the time they referred us to the emergency vet up the street, they were amazing! So sincere and informative. They have a sincere and high quality staff. Some of these places seem to care only about up charging and how many tests they can sell you. Not this place! My dog’s health and well being truly cane first. They examined my dog and felt due to dehydration he’d benefit more from an overnight clinic and sent me there with no charge. They had every opportunity to charge me a good few hundred or more and did not because it would not be beneficial to my little guy. We are not out of the woods yet but their part in this was heartwarming. I am honestly still in shock. I highly recommend this place and they will be my go to when needed in the future. Thank you to them for their kind and compassionate care!

I brought my dog Piper in last night for an emergency and every associate that I spoke with from the initial phone call to the veterinarian were so helpful and kind. I called ahead to see if it was a good time to bring my dog in where they encouraged me to come as soon as I could and took my information over the phone to speed the check-in process along. When we made it to the office we were promptly brought to an exam room where they triaged Piper, took her vitals, and did a physical exam. The vet was very knowledgeable and offered great advice. You can tell she really cares about her patients and is there to help. I thought for an emergency vet the prices were reasonable and I never felt pressured to spend thousands on further diagnostics which I have experienced at other emergency vets. I received a phone call today from an associate checking on Piper who is doing much better today after some fluids and medication. I would highly recommend UrgentVet and while I hope Piper does not experience any other emergencies, we will be using UrgentVet as our after-hour vet from here on out.
