How to Save on Veterinary Costs at VetIQ Petcare
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 came in here after my dog had almost died of AIHA she have a red blood cell count that was at 8% and dropped to 6% in less than 2 hours and was on the brink of death. I took her to the Richmond Emergency vet and $4,000 later and only a week worth of medication they said I needed to establish a regular vet here (we just moved from FL) . All of the Vets were weeks out and I was getting quotes for $300-$800 to just be seen then have blood work done, it was ridiculous. Even the first vet I took her to to het rabies shots up here couldn’t see her!! I was so down bad, completely broke, and desperate to save my dog I sold my wedding ring!! (I know I’m crazy) she is our first ever family pet and at 9.5 years old she still has some years in her, we couldn’t stop trying. We were broke, no where left to go, couldn’t afford a blood test let alone more medication. I came to the VetIQ clinic and Dr. Alexendra Teskin didn’t even think twice. She gave Blue a quick look over and prescribed us enough medication until we could get her to a vet that could help us. The staff was so nice and even gave me some recommendations which we happened to use and they were wonderful too. I just wanted to say thank you to this clinic for helping us in a time of need, Blue is still alive and doing pretty dang amazing thanks to your help when we really needed it most! The kindness I was shown here really saved our family! Thank you sincerely -The Sheridan’s

So I had read the website and was a little confused over the services. I went yesterday for my two-year-old and was floored by the service I received! This is honestly a hidden gem that I wish had more days open but I understand. It was relatively empty when we went and they handled the inflow (four pets) rather well despite it's small size! I was super impressed with this clinic and think I've finally found our new home!

Prices were cheap and you can find coupons on line. Staff was friendly and helpful. I had to wait a while but there are no appointments, just walk in service. After my visit the lobby was empty so the next person that came in for service would have had no wait.

I adopted Dixie, I picked her up in NY. We were able to see a wonderful Vet, the same day in Virginia!! We were able to be chipped, receive all needed shots, blood work and nails trimmed. Dixie was happy with the quality of care, so I’m very pleased. This is now our Vet clinic!

They all was great with my little energetic dog. Got his exam and shots. Was very good price. The thing I liked was how good they was to my fur baby. Will be going back.
