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.

Dr Kice and his entire team are phenomenal. Dr Kice was very thorough in his examination and made sure to ask all the important questions regarding my sweet girl who has many co-morbidities. He also found the issue w/Mildred’s eye right away when 4 other vets failed to. They got us in quickly, went above and beyond to help us coordinate Mildred’s care w/other specialists and have been so warm and welcoming to us. We drove all the way from the east side and they were absolutely worth it! Thank you Rainer Animal Eye team!

Dr. Kice has been treating my dog for over a year. He is kind, gentle and caring. He has taken great care of my dog's condition. He is timely for appointments. I have never felt rushed out of his office. He takes time to explain what he is doing and answers my questions. I would highly recommend him for your pet's needs.

Dr Kice is great with the puppies and thorough in his exam. I appreciate his expertise and we are so happy he has his own practice! My pets have been seeing Dr Kice for CAER eye exams since 2018!

Highly recommend Dr.Kice and his team! Dr. Kice has always been my go-to for any animal eye needs. He is extremely knowledgeable and is one of the few I will see with my breeding dogs. I raise Collies and Shelties and they require a very knowledgeable doctor for their eye exams. I am thankful to Dr. Kice for also being supportive and helpful to responsible breeders while trying to get required eye exams done. Today we visited his new clinic and the staff were all amazing, friendly and helpful! The location is very easy in and out. The facility is lovely! I'm very excited for him to have his own clinic!
