How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Brickyard Animal Hospital
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

The vet techs are incredible..super helpful. Super sweet. Care immrensely about my pups. The vets here are just money-grabbing and don't care in the slightest. My pups have bad anxiety and the tech wanted to help and get me some anxiety meds for my next visit to lessen the trauma. She was so sweet (as all the techs are) and took their weight and just really helped the situation feel so much lighter. When back to have the vet sign off on the prescription and he refused until I scheduled another expensive "wellness check" (despite the last visit where he charged us $700 to run a bunch of useless "tests" that he never even came back to tell me the results of just to send a tech back in to give me anti-nausea pills for my pup). Will be looking for another vet for my pups just because of how cheap they are. I'm gait to pay for quality care for my doggos, but from these vets it isn't it.

So wonderful! Everyone there genuinely cares about the people and furr babes. Great instruction was given on Benny's meds. All follow-up was given in reasonable time. Really an overall good experience.

We had much the same experience as Zelda. We have been going to Brickyard for years. The tech was great but the vet was condescending and curt. He asked me a question and as I started to answer he literally shushed me. I had spoken for less than 30 seconds. He acted like we were in an annoyance. When I make my next appointment, I will definitely ask for a different vet.

Dr. Heller made me feel as though my questions were dumb and was dismissive. When I asked if my puppy golden retriever could run up and down the stairs he told me he had never heard of that ever being an issue with their hip development and said he’d “google it” for me. He also told me that my dog did not need flea meds because in his 3 years of experience he has never seen a dog with fleas here in Utah. I asked for these because I camp out of state with my dog all the time. Finally, after he had been treating my golden retriever and reviewed my dogs chart (at least I thought he did) he asked me if my dog was a lab while looking at my dog. There is a pretty big difference between the two breeds. I wouldn’t trust this guy. The staff is friendly, the techs are awesome but I would never let this Dr. see my dog again.

Our cat’s exam was time efficient and reasonably priced. I appreciate that the staff let us know the price of certain tests before initiating them, and letting us know all of our options. I will definitely come here again!
