How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Veterinary Dental Specialties

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

My husband and I had our German Shepherd, Leila, treated at this clinic for broken teeth and root canals, and I can't express how impressed and thankful we are with Dr. Fielder and her team. Not only was their bedside manner towards our anxious dog top notch, their office policy of operating on one animal at a time in the surgery room (with exception to emergencies) ensured that Leila received 100% of their attention and focus. As a CareCredit card holder, their recent integration made payment simple and worry free as well. I was also particularly impressed with their imaging technology, which helped to identify any and all underlying problems during Leila's visit. Through this, they were able to discover Leila had not one but two abscessed teeth. There is a designated space at the clinic in the back where my husband and I were able to work remotely during Leila's procedures, and they took care to ensure that Leila was as comfortable as possible and worked together with my husband and I as Leila was going in and out of sedation. Like most veterinary work, these procedures were pricey as can be expected, but the team worked with my husband and I to educate us on the breakdown of each line item before we committed to any cost and we were provided best and worst case scenario based on our choices. The team is also diligently working with me and my insurance provider to complete a claim. Throughout Leila's colorful medical past, we have met a lot of great people and teams that I will always be grateful to have met, but Dr. Fielder, Katie, and Bea stand out to us as the best and smoothest experience we have ever had in ensuring a happy and long life for our beloved dog. Two root canals later and a cool as heck metal crown, Leila is noticeably happier and more comfortable, and she can finally go back to leading a painless and worry free life like all dogs deserve. It is clear that the team at Veterinary Dental Specialties care a great deal for animals and as pet owners we cannot thank them enough for their professionalism and heart during our two visits. I will gladly be visiting them again for routine care.

I had a great experience at this VDS. I took my dog here after months of sneezing concerns and after a CT scan, it was suggested to get a jaw surgery here. The doctor took a much less aggressive approach to diagnosing and treating the concern and I greatly appreciated all of her work and thoughtfullness with me dog. She was thorough in her education of the matter at hand and spent a lot of time during our consultation and follow up discussing the prognosis. The front desk called me within 24 hours to see how my dog was post surgery and answered questions I had. Overall, it was the best vet/animal hospital experience i have had!

Dr. Fielder and her team are so kind and compassionate. My dog is extremely reactive to any kind of medical procedure. They went above and beyond to make his procedure as low stress as possible, taking extra time with him before and after the procedure and allowing him to wake up in an exam room with me instead of alone in a kennel like he would have at veterinary facilities.

My poor girl broke her lower K9 down to the root.. I visited my veterinarian, who suggested trying for a root canal as a healthier alternative than extraction at her age. After calling so many places, I was losing hope we could get her comfort in less than 6 months if we were to get a root canal. I cannot express how much gratitude I have for their staff and doctors for getting us in and scheduled as quickly as you could! UPDATE (you can see the shine on the lower left K9, brown dog) surgery was a breeze! Even tho my girl managed to mess up the filling after the root canal, thankful we went with the crown placement and that they were able to still make it fit. She's back to tugawar with her sister like nothing ever happened. Thanks again Dr. Cody!
