How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Churchland Animal 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.

Yesterday I had to make one of the toughest decisions of my life. I want to thank the clinic and staff for making it a little easier for me to have to walk in with my best friend and walk out alone. They kept an eye on my younger kids so the rest of the family could be with him. They apologized and made the transition for him as easy as I guess it could be. They allowed me time to come to terms with the decision and gave me peace of mind that they would take good care of him after. I am so sad and devastated at the loss of my sweet Rocket but I am grateful for such caring individuals who helped ease his pain.

I’ve used CAC for multiple pets over multiple years & trust them for careful & kind treatment of my pups. Quick & professional visits, careful exams w/great advice. They clearly love what they do. I talked with Serbet & she says Dr Koger & the staff are very nice & provide excellent pets, pats & guidance for her continuing care. She looks forward to seeing everyone again soon.

I do not think I can stress enough how great this clinic is but I will try. Our dog was in pain and he was getting old. It came to the point where we believed that it was time. Going through the process of having to put our dog down was a hard decision. He was apart of our family and he was my partner. The whole clinic was there for us. They provided comfort for our family during the challenging process. They also gave us outstanding support! When we get another dog down the road, we will be coming here! Thank you so much to every person there for everything you did for us! K9 above all! K9 leads the way! Guardians of the Night!

We have been taking our animals since last year. We moved & they are right down the street from us. Great people! Kind, caring folks. Haley didn't mind that our cat changed her black shirt to white with all the hair! After our last appointment, a lady's car decided to act up as she was trying to leave. The staff came out concerned and asked what was going on. Explained what was happening as myself and a gentleman were trying to get the car going again. Luckily the car was able to move. The staff came out and treated us with water bottles to make sure we were hydrated. Awesome job!

Allison and Sophia were extremely helpful and kind to me as they took extra time and care with my senior dog and assisted in creating a treatment plan for her. Dr Yates was very helpful and took the time to explain medication management for my senior dog with a focus on her comfort care needs. I am really appreciative of Churchland Animal Clinic. Thank you!
