How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Qi 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

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.

The level of care we received at Qi Vet is unparalleled. When we started going there our cat was already very sick and we were looking for end of life support to keep him as comfortable as possible. I am certain that the attentive care that he received from Dr. Sam and the staff at Qi Vet is the reason he was so happy and comfortable for his remaining time with us. When it was time to let him go we were treated with such respect and empathy. It really did make that loss a bit easier and we are grateful for that. We received a card today with kind words from the staff at Qi Vet and it was just so thoughtful. Thank you to everyone at Qi Vet. I would highly recommend them for your pet's care.

The best Holistic Veterinary in the area. Very professional and compassionate staff. I wish I could have had the chance to bring my kitties earlier than now , when one of them was really sick, as I’m sure he would have saved him. If your animals aren’t saved here, it means that they had no chance, as they make any possible effort to save mine and those of my husband and we have many. If I become rich, I’ll be a donor to help them keep on research and equipment to save other animals.

Love Dr. Nate & the crew at Qi! We've been taking our pets here for a dozen or so years and always recommend them to friends.

Dr. Nate and his staff have kept my Yorkshire Terrier alive with good quality of life through Chinese vet medicine and tremendous loving care. Benny has some pretty severe digestive and intestinal issues that Nate has treated like I am convinced very few (perhaps none) other vets would have adequate knowledge and expertise to accomplish. It is not inexpensive, but the individual care and concern and time and explanation is unparalleled. If you're just looking for a rabies shot, go elsewhere; but if your looking for the best care possible for your loved companion, I will tell you there is no better.

We were relieved to find Qi Vet some years ago for our beloved cat! Our cat has an underlying problem that was treated skillfully with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication by our previous veterinarian - but with the anticipation that those medications would be ongoing for the remainder of his life. However, Qi Vet has been able to keep our cat healthy and happy for years with acupuncture and with herbs added to his food - no antibiotics or anti-inflammatories. The support staff and doctors are incredibly kind and compassionate and their knowledge and practice of Chinese medicine is impressive and reassuring. We have taken our pets to a number of veterinarians over the years, but Qi Vet is without parallel. Thank you, Qi Vet!
