How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Wag Veterinary
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.

THE BEST vet I have ever been to in all my life!!! From the initial call to book an appointment, you will be greeted with the kindest and warmest presence that makes scheduling everything so easy and assures you will be in the best hands. She then sent over forms online to fill out beforehand to streamline the visit experience - genius! Then, you arrive and the space is immaculately clean, adorably decorated, and such a precious environment. Each exam room is just as thoughtfully-designed, AND with window light!! My kitten thoroughly enjoyed watching outside and felt right at home. All of the staff are gentle, so loving with your pets, and make everything as easy as possible. My kitten was actually purring and having a good time at the vet for the first time ever!!! We are ELATED and RELIEVED that Wag is here - it puts our minds at ease knowing that each visit will be the absolute best for your pet - and you, too!! Izzy and I are beyond grateful for y’all!!

Our dog absolutely loves coming to WAG! When we tried to find a good vet in the area, many places would not answer their phones or were unable to see us for days. I went off of the positive Google reviews and called WAG, they were able to get us in for a same day appointment! The women at reception are always so kind and accommodating. The Dr himself is wonderful. He is very intelligent and made a great connection with our dog. A few days after our appointment, he even called me directly to follow-up after asked how our dog was feeling. Very grateful to have found a friendly, reliable vet for our dog!

Dr. Behar is the best vet we have ever seen. He listens. He is compassionate (to both animals and humans). He is extremely gentle with your pet. He doesn't shame you for budget restrictions. He is great at communicating what the issue with your pet is and giving several different treatment options. Crystal, at the front desk is so friendly and welcoming! I can't recommend him or his practice strongly enough.

The entire staff were truly wonderful! I adopted Buzz from ASPCA last year in January and today was his first check-up. I was so nervous about how his appointment would go. To my relief, they were really caring and treated him like he was family. They are understanding, patient and willing to listen to concerns without judgment. When you want a family who cares about yours; Wag Veterinary is the place to go!

We met the Wag team about 3 weeks ago for the first time and, I am sure, with all of our animals, it won’t be the last time. Excellent service, great people. I almost couldn’t believe they could fit us in the day we called and saved us a trip to the emergency vet. So, yes, 5/5 stars!! Thx for setting up shop in Ivy
