How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Hardwick 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

Amazing vet! She was upfront and made everything so easy. She also worked great with my dog and happily answered questions I had. They also have a nice gated yard for waiting in, so cute!

Dr.Andrea and her team are doing a great job. I always feel in good hands when one of my companions has to have medical care. In times of covid, the office is "safe". Masks are worn/required and a safe distance is maintained. Sadly that also means you won't be able to accompany your pet into the treatment room but no worries there. Making the pet comfortable and having a speedy but thorough procedure is a great way to assure that a patient will not dread the next time we roll up to the doc. I am also very grateful to have a vet who has prices I can afford. Thank you so much.

We are new to this area and our dog needed attention for an abscess. After receiving many statements from other veterinarians in the area that they had no room, Hardwick Veterinary welcomed us. The visit was professional, thorough and kind. They care.

Dr. Gilbert and her team are fantastic! Such a professional, caring animal clinic - with fantastically reasonable prices. The attention to detail - explaining medications/procedures/timing and answering questions - speaks volumes about the quality of service. I highly recommend this place; Laura is a dear! And their website is great.

I have had very good experiences coming to this practice. I have had to have a beloved cat and dog euthanized and Dr. Gilbert and her staff were compassionate yet professional. Dr.Gilbert's genuine emotion actually made those unthinkable experiences more endurable. On a lighter note, I am bringing our new dog and have have felt supported as I make decisions about what to do about a lameness issue and a recent health scare. I appreciate the thorough discussion of my options including respect to the costs involved. Denise, the vet tech, is also genuinely helpful, kind and skillful.
