How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Button 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.

We've been coming here for 30+ years....until today. Our cat needs follow up care after a stay at an emergency pet hospital for a serious condition. Couldn't fit her in until sometime in August. If I wanted to try to get in sooner, I had to call each morning. Apparently they are incapable of taking my contact information and calling me if there was a cancelation. She was cold and dispassionate. Found another vet, with better reviews, who understood the situation and got us in next week. When I called her to transfer my cat's records, she seemed pleased. Good. We both got what we wanted. An "I'm sorry" from her might have been nice, but that would presume she cared. While I appreciate your response, other vets were able to provide options and suggestions. That's caring. As others have said here, you have gone down hill.

Love Dr Claypool and the staff! I asked to get my dog's nails clipped and they charged me $36.00, that's insanity. They wanted me to bring a fecal sample and charged me about $40 for that, which I didn't get any results.

Button vet has gone above and beyond for my two dogs. Excellent communication with a very friendly and family vibe, they have treated us great.

Found Tigger, Astrid and Charlie 2 years 8 months ago, they were a month old and Button is the only place I go to. Cat's are relaxed and stress free. Best care and awesome staff. My first visit was in 1982 with two puppies I got after returning from Germany.

Great service. I went to another vet before visiting Button and they failed to help my dog and cost me about $4000. At Button, they ran the same tests and said if her condition did not improve they would recommend her to a specialist. They did this at a fraction of the cost and my dog is doing better. 😀
