How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Four Paws Veterinary Holistic Service

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

We have a 7 month old puppy who was not being treated properly by another vet. My husband found Four Paws, and I’m so glad he did! What a professional and friendly experience from start to finish. The vet was super patient, took the time to care about my concerns, and provided a treatment plan that corrected an issue that we were struggling with for 6 months. What a difference! Thank you, Four Paws!!

Dr. Lord does amazing work! She is so kind and patient with her patients! I have been so impressed at how much she has helped my pets with various ailments. I've learned more about nutrition for dogs than with any other doctor. Her staff is so sweet and do a great job. I am so impressed with everyone at Four Paws!

After x-rays at my regular vet showed that bad arthritis was the cause of my cat limping so badly, I took her for acupuncture. After the fourth or fifth visit, limping was almost gone. I spaced the visits out more and my 11 year old cat runs around the house like she is 5 again. I now plan on pacing out visits to about 8 times per year for continued care. But if she begins limping again, I will increase the frequency. Dr. Lorde is great and is not pushy about what you must do. She advises and leaves the care decisions up to you because you know your pet best. My human acupuncturist reminded me that animals do not have a placebo effect so the treatment either works or doesn't. Obviously it did! My cat isn't thrilled about being loaded in her carrier and taken there but after the tiny copper needles are inserted, she just lies down and waits until the treatment is done and the needles are taken out. I was quite surprised by her behavior. Sometimes she doesn't want to leave! Cat acupuncture is more expensive than human acupuncture but I guess there is a hazardous duty pay addition since there is no risk of me biting or scratching my acupuncturist. LOL! It was definitely worth the cost and time to see my cat act so young and agile again.

While it's only been our 3rd acupuncture visit, I do feel it is helping my Frenchton get stronger and hopefully will encourage spinal walking. What I am not impressed with and disappointed in is how they are not considerate of others schedule except their own. I was in a mandatory meeting to discuss the disaster hurricane Ida has caused up along the eastern coast. People have lost their homes, out of power, no water. people have DIED. I called to say I was running late. what would they like for me to do..I can reschedule or I can come immediately. I was only 15 -20 min late. They said come on in but I would be charged a late fee..I said well then I'll reschedule. they said then you will be charged a cancelation fee. Remind you this was my first offense. I called and yet there was no lenience...BUT my first visit they was running late and had us wait outside in the rain or in our vehicle. So it's OK for them to run behind but you don't get that same
