How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Sawyer Lake Veterinary 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.

We adopted a kitten from the cat rescue they have on site. They had a lot of kittens! (About 30) The adoption coordinator was very nice and he let us spend time with all the cats and kittens to see which one was the best fit for our family. The adoption fee was $400. But it seemed reasonable considering that included spay/neuter, all shots, and microchipping. Plus it's a vet, so we felt confident that we were inviting a healthy cat into our house. Thank you Lake Sawyer Veterinary, for providing the cat rescue service. We'll be spreading the word to anyone looking for a cat or kitten.

BE AWARE!!!!! 6yrs ago we had our elderly dog put to sleep at Lake Sawyer and the experience was so caring; so when we needed to put our last pet down we scheduled here again. Ms White (Vet & Owner) walked into the room and said “I don’t make money off your dogs but I can put them to sleep”? (We do not keep a regular vet). The staff was clearly appalled by her and did their best to be kind in addition to apologizing for the appointment taking 2.5 HOURS. It was a hard enough day putting out 21yr old loved one to sleep but she and her belligerent mouth made it absolutely AWEFUL!!

I scheduled an appointment with them for 5:30. They asked me to inform them if i was going to be late so that we could reschedule since they closed at 6. I arrived at 5:20 and had my paperwork filled out by 5:25. They then sat me in the exam room for almost a half hour and finally a nurse came in around 6:00 to look at my dog. They gave me a long lasting flea pill to clear up his flea infestation and for the hotspot above his tail they gave me an antibiotic spray with alcohol in it. This spray stings when i put it on his hotspot and dries his skin out, irritating it further. They also gave me a cone for his head that was sized too small. When i mentioned this the nurse told me i was wrong and started shoving it over his head anyway. When i told them that i didnt need them to put it on and I would do so when i got home, she said "no i've got it" and tied the cone very tightly around the base of his head. I do not recommend this vet and I will not be going there again. Do yourself a favor and find a vet that cares about the animals that they are treating and is willing to work with you as a client and give medication that actually helps the issue rather than exacerbating it. Would give 0 starts if i could.

Unfortunately this was the only place available at the time!!! Very very Unorganized, Jan(the vet) was yelling at her staff about billing, unprofessional, that should be done in private not loud enough for the whole building to hear! Apparently because we had never been there before & didn't have a Chart # she wouldn't even come in our room until her staff got it fixed! Waited for over an hr for the Vet to come in & we had an appointment. We felt we needed an xray on our dogs leg, instead she did expensive blood work(@their in- house lab) which nobody that was there even knew how to run the machine(she said "Don't worry we have a cheat-sheet!!!). Took forever & we finally just ask them to email us the results as we had been sitting there for hrs with our dog in pain! We still don't know what is wrong with his leg so we will need to take him his regular vet on Monday to get the proper care. Seems the vet was just looking for ways to charge more $$$!
