How to Save on Veterinary Costs at A Small 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

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.

What a refreshing feeling to not have too put your dog to sleep because you can't afford the blood work or x-rays, to find out what is wrong with your pet. I really had a vet I shall not name but is in Sumner, tell me well we can put your pet to sleep since you can't afford blood work. Dr Any really cares about her pet patients and their parents she is willing to work with you if your going through some financial hardship, it's not all about money at this clinic.She saved my Fats fats life and made my Brookie feel better. The staff is efficient and very polite and friendly. I have told all my family and friends to bring their pets here! Thank you so much Dr Amy!

Dr. Amy saved my dog! Last year, my little guy got tumbled over by an excited young heeler and dislocated several joints in his leg. After a costly emergency vet bill, improper treatment at another vet, and a couple bad petsitters later, his condition got far worse -- his leg was now necrotic (moisture in the splint) and he was obviously sick and lethargic with an extremely high fever. We called up A Small Animal Hospital on recommendation from a dog boarder friend and had no problem getting my dog set up as a first-time client the same day he needed to be seen. For the next several weeks, the team at A Small Animal Hospital saw my dog almost every single day, and every time I saw them, they were incredibly kind and caring. They did everything in their power to make sure my dog didn't need to get his leg amputated, where other vets said amputation would be the only option. His wound was treated, cleaned, and rewrapped every day, then treated with laser. They even tried a new bandage sample they'd gotten to see if it would work for the type of wound he had, and it did! Without it, he may not have recovered as soon (and as well) as he did. Dr. Amy told me that she was treating my dog as if he was her own, which instilled a ton of comfort and assurance. He still needed a surgery to fully heal, but it sure wasn't an amputation. Now he uses that leg better than he ever did before -- and he's so happy, bouncy, and excited all the time!! I'm not sure I'd still have him at my side if I hadn't called A Small Animal Hospital when I did.

I am Very happy with the service provided here and the staff was professional. All was explained thoroughly and pricing options were offered. They even let me borrow their carrier because mine would be too confining for an injured animal. That is above and beyond in my opinion. I highly recommend this hospital for your pet care.

Cute little place, staff is friendly and efficient. Dr Amelia is so sweet and attentive and fast, I appreciate her and her team's time and professionalism. They have pet food available for purchase at the lobby. Parking lot is small but it's plenty during your visit. Will definitely keep coming to Dr Amelia for my dog's needs when we're here.

I wanted to share my experience with "A small Animal Hospital" and it was nothing but traumatizing.. My mother took our family dog (17 years old) to be evaluated because she wasn't feeling too well and was not being herself. At first our experience was great, the team was accommodating to assisting our family animal and educated us on what had happened to her. As we received her results we found out that she was anemic and also found a penny that was stuck in her digestive system and was very toxic to animals. The vet ended up recommending that we make the decision to put her down, due to her age her rate of survival was very slim and didn't think she would even make it past anesthesia. She told us that the longer we waited the more she'd suffer so of course we listened to her. Our entire family came together to make this decision for her because we did not want her to suffer in the end and we wanted to her to go peacefully. The next day we scheduled to euthanize our family dog and our whole family came there to be there to say our goodbyes and be by her side to watch her go. The vet came in and explained to us that everything would happen quickly, but our dog was fully aware and awake of what was going on. Trusting in this doctor we thought she'd sedate our dog before she was euthanized that way she can go peacefully. Just like we wanted.. Right before the injection we stopped to say our final goodbyes and the vet gave us an attitude slamming her hands on the table then saying "Are you ready now?" which was already alarming and putting stress on our family dog... As soon as she injected her our dog did NOT go peacefully she suffered and it was complete opposite of what we wanted for her from the beginning.. Our dog was squealing and totally distressed and it was traumatic and a VERY HORRIBLE experience My siblings were in the room along with my mother witnessing all of this and now we leave this vet clinic traumatized and mortified that our dog left this world with fear in her eyes.... I do not ever recommend this vet and I will never forget the experience we had here...
