How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Clarendon Animal Care

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 rarely write reviews but I was just thinking yesterday after our appointment about how lucky we are to have such a great vet. Chance gets anxious easily as he did during yesterday's thunderstorm and they always handle it so well. He's really warmed up to the place so much so that he tries to go in the door every time we pass by. The staff is always really helpful and kind when we call in with questions. We've had Dr. McCroy, Dr. Gottlieb, and Dr. Plough and all three were kind, competent, and easy to talk to. They have all been really helpful at answering our concerns and giving advice regarding Chance's weight loss journey. They have always run on time when I've been there but don't rush the appointments. I seriously can't think of a bad thing to say about them. Highly recommend.

It was our first time here with our very anxious and reactive rescued dog. I can't speak highly enough of the professionalism of everyone we have dealt with. Whenever I emailed or called, I felt like I was listened to, and everyone went out of their way to make sure our dog was as comfortable as possible. They were patient, calm, offered him treats, accommodated his high strung personality as much as they could. We're definitely staying with this place. Thank you.

When I tell you it has been a task trying to find a vet, you have no idea. I was able to schedule my dogs intake and have her appointment within two weeks of my request. The facilities are very well maintained and the staff are very friendly and professional. I know it’s a great visit when the vet sees my dog while sitting on the floor with her. They truly live up to their “Fear Free” motto. I thank them for a wonderful appointment and I hope to have an amazing vet experience with them in the future. Fingers crossed!

I don't normally write reviews but everything about this place was far beyond my expectations. The front staff was extremely quick and helpful with my time sensitive travel cert, and travel coordinator Aleigh figured out everything I needed almost immediately. The front staff was able to set me up with an appointment within a week, while all other clinics I contacted were booked out for a month and required a new pet visit BEFORE doing a health cert. The office environment was very welcoming with a very kind front staff & MA. My pet hates the vet but he was noticeably better today, perhaps because of their 'pet calming' music and aromatherapy. Dr. Plough was very caring and informative, I felt that her exam was more thorough than my pet has received in the past and I appreciated her diligence in making sure I got exactly what I needed for travel. They allot an entire hour for visits so there was no feeling of being rushed. And to top it off-- the visit was far less expensive than I anticipated! Thank you Clarendon Animal Care!

They now allow people (wearing face masks) go to inside with their pets which is good. Very nicely decorated and comfy space. See my new photos. ::::: This clinic is conveniently located in Clarendon; staff are cheerful and friendly; above all they are very responsive on emails and phones; we especially appreciate how Dr. Adkins even responded to an email about illness on a Saturday. Due to COVID, they practice social distancing and do not allow clients in their lobby. We had to wait outside, call them, and they came outside to meet us. Overall the best part about this clinic is their responsiveness.
