How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Animal Doctor

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

We have been seeing Selena Hunter for what seems like decades for our pets. She is very knowledgeable and kind. We take our pets to her because we know they will get the best care. An amazing staff. Just ask Harrison and Odyssey.

I’ve always gotten great care for my black lab from the crew at the Animal Doctor. Easy to make appointments. Had a couple emergencies and I never worry because the boy is in great hands. Grateful!

Before i moved to the NEK in 2019, I had called and found The Animal Doctor. I went on a waitlist well before we settled. And it was so worth it! Dr Selina and her staff are an absolute treasure. The level of care my 2 cats received was incredible. The level of compassion, knowledge and professionalism is beyond measure. When it came time to put my Bella to sleep, this incredible veterinarian helped me navigate those last weeks with such grace and genuine care. It’s really endless at what I can say positive about Dr Selina and her team. She is an angel to me and my family and my pets and if she’s your veterinarian…you are fortunate indeed.
