How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Chelsea Animal Hospital
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

Very nice people, full service for pets. They have everything you could possibly want for animals. Thoughtful and well organized and know everybody by their first name. They do a great job at trimming are dogs long nails. Can think of a better place to go for your pet.

I started going to Chelsea Animal Hospital soon after it opened by Julie Krasne - I have stayed with CAH from then until now - Dr Ann is Great! Her patience (with me!) is notable and her attention to details and offering options about how to treat some issue, and many more things...Even when i moved out of state for a bit, I drove over to CAH with my dog - when you find a good Dr, an above average Dr, you don't want to try to find a different Dr

I am so grateful for Chelsea Animal Hospital. Our dog had skin and eye issues for years and no vet could figure out a way to help her. Chelsea Animal Hospital, though, figured out a holistic solution, and our dog hasn't had an issue with it since we began working with them. I am so grateful for the time they take to really get to know us and our dogs. They are truly spectacular people and professionals.

I was recommended to go here by Onion River Animal Hospital because I prefer holistic approaches to my dogs' health, and I feed them a raw-food diet. I did not like this practice and I would not go back. The vet was not responsive to my concerns. They did not listen when I told them specifically that my dog was not interested in food when she was scared. They still made me try to feed her treats while they were doing something else around her backside, instead of helping her calm down with some calming touches I had practiced with her. In fact, the vet was kind of short in telling me to hold treats in front of my dog's face (which the dog does NOT like when she is scared). The vet did NOT seem aware of anything like the Certified Fear-Free practices that I love about ORAH. Also, I asked about natural pet medicine books that I saw on HER bookshelves, which I had also been using as guides for care, and she seemed absolutely unknowledgeable about them. Like she didn't even know they existed and had never heard of them, even though they were right there! She also tried to discourage me from making my dogs food or cleaning their feeding bowls properly (which I obviously do every day, because it's raw meat!), because SHE didn't do so, because she "has a life." (A) Why is it any concern of hers how I spend my time? If I want to scrub them for an hour each, it's none of her business! (B) So, I don't have a life because I take the time and effort to care for my dogs in this way? Why did she feel it was okay to make this passive-aggressive comment? Neither the vet nor the support staff are friendly or welcoming. Too bad, because it didn't seem like they were a booming practice.
