How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Ivor Veterinary Clinic
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

As always, we received the best care at Ivor Veterinary Clinic. Our pup was sick, and they worked us in, and we still didn't have to wait very long. She was taken very good care of by the team, and we were on our way with meds to get her on the road to recovery. A few days later and she's back to her normal self! (They even called to check on her!) Highly recommend this veterinary clinic!

Ivor pet clinic has been my vet for nearly 8 years now and has always provided top tier service at a reasonable price. For what its worth i moved from Surry to Portsmouth and now Virginia Beach and i still go to them for all my vet needs. You won’t find a better vet and staff anywhere.

This was my first time taking my pug Bane to this veterinary clinic. I guess the person who came in was supposed to be the vet but she never introduced herself and hardly said anything except yeah he’s been itching you need to also treat his surroundings. We already knew that she hardly looked him over even though we told her he had lost a lot of weight. I asked about 5 times to have his nails clipped as one will grow into his pad and they just ignored that and said they didn’t have enough staff to clip his nails. I’ve never been to a vet and been turned away without a nail trim. They sure had enough time to charge me 256.00 that included an office visit charge. We will never return to ivor vet. the name on the flea prevention box says Prescriber Alicia Gerald maybe that was the vet? We will definitely drive a little farther and go back to his regular vet in Franklin, going here was a BIG MISTAKE!!! And now I have to take him somewhere to have a nail trim.

I liked Dr. Harver. She was decent, but the other doctor angered my husband by asking questions about why we wanted to put our dog down. Almost like she was accusing him of just wanting to put her down without justification. She was old, struggling to get around (leg stopped working one day), and did not have a quality of life anymore at almost 13 years old. Because of this, we made the hard decision to euthanize her. The people they use to make the cremation boxes did not put a name plaque on her box. The ink prints of her nose and paws were not done well, and with our first dog they forgot to give us another box that we purchased. Considering the service is not cheap at all, I expected better results. The facility asked for my information from the previous clinic for my pets when I was switching over to Ivor and I gave them all the info they needed to get records. However, when I showed up for my visit, I had been waiting in the room for approx. 30 minutes only to then find out that it was because they never got my pets records prior to my appt!! I was incredibly frustrated. Then, I was quoted one price for an OFA hip certificate for my dog, and when I left after the treatment they charged me significantly more. Then, they never made an effort to contact me to explain the results of that procedure/exam to me, but instead told me they didn’t have time to do that. When I expressed my surprise at this treatment, the “office manager” told me that they would not see me at their clinic anymore. Super unprofessional support staff, and HIGHLY undereducated/inexperienced technicians. I’d save my time and money and go anywhere else!

Minnie has an injury that causes her to limp on her front left foot. We are trying to figure out what's wrong with our baby girl. Today she had xrays with sedation. She really enjoyed that nap!
