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

I brought my elderly Norwegian Forest Cat, Tonka, into the hospital on an emergency basis the morning of June 5, 2023. A few weeks prior, he had suddenly lost some motor control of his hind legs. However, Tonka being Tonka, he did not let that slow him down. Over a couple of weeks, he had slowly been losing his appetite until about June 1st, Tonka had stopped eating. We tried everything to entice him to eat. We were quite worried and people from here to Norway were praying for him. On March 20, 2023, my beloved Fallon, Tonka's dad, at 17 years old suddenly died in my arms. Now, it looked as though I would lose Fallon's son. My heart couldn't take another catastrophic loss. On Monday morning, June 5, I brought Tonka to Dr. MacKinnon without being able to give her specific information about what could be Tonka's trouble. Looking for clues and answers, Dr. MacKinnon ran several tests, including an ultrasound, but all results were normal. The baffling part was that Tonka was asking for food, but refused it when offered. Dr. MacKinnon suggested an anti-nausea injection and an appetite stimulus. On Tuesday morning, I dutifully gave Tonka one of four pills and a topically applied appetite stimulus that Dr. MacKinnon had sent home. This morning, Tonka ate a small breakfast but that didn't feel like a small victory; no indeed. It felt like a major breakthrough! Tuesday evening (this evening) Tonka ate a hearty supper, which made us cry with relief, but that wasn't the best part. For more than a few days prior, Tonka was very inactive, disinterested in his housemates, refused food, his eyes were dull, and nothing could get this once happy-go-lucky boy to purr. Until this evening. A miracle happened here in Malo! Tonka was tapping my legs to say he was hungry, a habit he had abandoned several days earlier. His eyes were bright again, and he was !Animated! !Interested! And wanted to eat! He followed me around as I put dishes of food out, waiting for 'his' bowl. The best part? He was purring! Purring so hard he squeaked at the end of each purr! And he's trilling again! He rolled over for his belly rubs and when I brought out the vacuum, he laid down right in my path asking to be vacuumed. Yup, my cats all love to be vacuumed! Dr. MacKinnon, Emma, and all staff that helped my wonderful Tonka that day: You are miracle workers! Thank you! My wonderful, loving, mischievous, playful, happy-go-lucky boy is back! You took a shot in the dark with the anti-nausea and appetite stimulus. It was a well placed shot; your instincts were spot on! Thank you for bringing ForteFlora to my attention, Dr. MacKinnon. Fallon was getting it once a day for years. Why I didn't equate that over to Tonka for his 'drips', I don't know. Maybe a mental block because it was 'Fallon's'? I'm still deeply grieving him. Tonka received a dose this morning and tonight, he had noticeable improvement. Most gratefully, Annie and Tonka Davenport

My cat was sick a lot the last year I took him in at least 3 times and the owner just gave him steroids and never did blood work. He got sick again recently and we saw Dr. Barker this time and she immediately did blood test and Xrays. Turns out he had Leukemia had an enlarged spleen and no oxygen in his blood and he was suffering the past year and we had no idea why until that day so we euthanized him. Very upset we didn't find this out sooner because the previous vet didn't look into it but I'm so thankful for Dr. Barker she was very nice and caring about our situation. If you go here I highly recommend seeing Dr. Barker.
