How to Save on Veterinary Costs at COTA 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.

My 16 month old Newfoundland had her first visit with Dr Fenton for chiropractic adjustments yesterday. It was my first experience with a canine chiropractor. I just cannot sing the praises of Dr Fenton and the entire COTA staff enough!! They were prepared with answers to every question I had and questions I didn’t even think to ask. I was greeted with a smile at the desk and made to feel completely comfortable by everyone there throughout our visit. Dr Fenton is so knowledgeable and so gentle… my girl, Morgan pretty much just melted in her hands. I left feeling in awe of what a good chiropractor who understands showing and competing can do for my dog. And I love their exam rooms! Feels more like being in a living room than at a cold Dr. office. And Morgan certainly appreciated being able to get on the couch. It was a long drive and a long day…. But worth EVERY mile.

Dr Alyssa Fenton and her team are absolutely amazing! They helped take immediate care of my kitten in an emergency situation last week and went above and beyond in caring for her since then. Dr Alyssa truly cares for animals (and their people too ❤) and is the first vet I've known to be completely available to patients - her love is felt, and it healed my kitten back to life. Thank you guys so much!!!!

We have had great experiences with COTA and claim the title of COTA’s first feline. We really appreciate knowing that we have available care for our kitty. The clinic is calming and home- like. And the staff are all about the health and well being of the animals in their clinic. I really appreciate their desire to create an attractive and calming setting.

Dr. Fenton is has been adjusting my agility dogs for years. Like, people, dogs can also be out of alignment and struggle with performance. I am thrilled to follow her to her new offices at COTA, the clinic is absolutely beautiful and the COTA team is top notch. I love their "not corporate owned" personalized approach to healthcare for my dogs.

We had a wonderful experience last week. Our pup is normally very nervous at a veterinary office but she jumped out of the car and bounded inside for her visit for a hurt toe. Our exam room had a couch and a pretty rug. She was allowed on the couch and was given lots of yummy cheese and treats. She said as relaxed and lounged on the couch and stretched out on the rug, too. It looked like a living room and I think that made her comfortable. The LVT and doctor were gentle and soft spoken and my dog was instant friends with both of them. They took great care of my girl!!
