How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Fircrest 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.

To the amazing staff at Fircrest Veterinary Hospital, I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for always showing our baby Chloe so much love, care, and compassion. I felt nothing but trust when ever I brought her in for emergency visits, follow ups, and routine check ups. Dr. Quarrels especially always handled chloe with care and made sure to provide thorough updates when receiving lab work. He would even go out of his way to call us just to see how Chloe was doing. I really can't thank you guys enough for everything you've done for my baby. Sadly, Chloe recently crossed the rainbow bridge this last week, and while her loss is still very painful to bear, I know she was loved so very much and she can now rest in peace. 🌈🧡

We recently took our two dogs, Peanut and Choco to get neutered. I must say it was a great experience! Communication from the staff was excellent and they were very gentle with the dogs. We paid only $570.00 for the two of them to get neutered. I highly recommend this place!

We have been clients/patients at Fircrest veterinarian hospital for close to 20 years. I would never take my beloved animals anywhere else. It is hard to express in words the expertise, professionalism and care that the Fircrest Vet team has given our family over the years. We typically rescue very special-needs animals. They come with a lot of issues, and Fircrest Vet has worked with us to come up with a care plan for all of them. They care deeply for all of our….. and for us. They listen to what is going on with your animal and spend time getting to know them and you. They make every effort to tell you what is best for your animal, and work with you to make that a reality. This is a team that cares beyond just treating animals. This is a team that cares deeply for each and every animal on an individual basis, and the families that they belong to. They are not in it just to be a business, this is a calling they all have to care, love and respect the animals and the families they are in. I have referred many people to this wonderful team over the years, and will continue to do so, without 1 ounce of hesitation about the wonderful care they can expect. We love every one of you at Fircrest Vet!🙂🐾🐢💚💜🙏
