How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Animal Care Center
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.

Our cat Nigel kept vomiting. I called around to see if I could get an appointment the next day for him but as it was a Saturday, no-one could take him. I eventually booked at the Animal Care Center for the Monday with the intention to taking him to the Emergency Vet that evening. Not an hour after I made the appointment Mackenzie texted me. She had taken the time to talk to the medical staff about Nigel and they managed to squeeze him in for a Saturday appointment. The relief I felt! We were so grateful that they would go the extra mile like that. Our vet Dr. Lipstake was such a sweet person and so good with Nigel even though he liked to complain. She took the time to get two radiologist exams making sure nothing was lodged in Nigel's stomach. They also did everything they could to make Nigel feel better. We were sent home with some medicine which eventually made Nigel feel much better. At a stressful time they went above and beyond for our pet. We're now patients for life.

Dr. Gossom and Chloe took such great care of my orange kitty Banana. I had to bring her in because she had severe gingivitis and had to have her teeth removed. I felt safe knowing that Dr. Gossom was going to make her feel better! They were even able to get me a later drop off time due to my hectic work schedule. I truly believe they care about our pets as much as we do!!! Chloe also sent me a cute after surgery photo of Banana and even gave her a new toy! 100/10 would recommend Animal Care Center!

Not only was the entire staff caring and professional for my emergency with my puppy, Tag, their gentle handling of him put him put him at ease. and make it less scarey. Looked like they were working on their own pet. I will never go anywhere else and I have told my friends abt Animal Care Center as well.

The kindness and level of care that me and my still-learning-to-be-a-polite-citizen rescue Bulldog received at the Animal Care Center (even as new clients) was simply unmatched! From the very first call to the appointment itself, I have nothing but the absolute best to say about the whole experience. Both the administrative staff as well as the techs and doctors were so calm and knowledgeable, answering all my questions with infinite patience even though I’m sure they all had a full and busy day. Bringing in a rescue with iffy records and an uncertain background is always a challenge, but the doctor and tech took the time to recommend to me what steps we needed to take to make sure my dog is healthy and happy. I feel fully confident that her medical needs will be managed to the highest level at Animal Care Center, which is such a relief! The tech even took the time to write down the name of my dogs microchip company, so I wouldn’t forget it… I mean, how kind is that?! I also received prompt follow up calls with the results of the tests that were done on my girl, and even a follow up call the day after the appointment to make sure she was recovering well. I genuinely couldn’t be happier or more grateful to be a client here, and I cannot recommend them enough!
