How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Companion Animal 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.

I've been going to them with all my cats since I moved to Madison. The staff have all been phenomenal and you can tell they love animals. They were very patient when my first cat needed surgery and I had a million questions and worries and have been so fantastic. I continue to go to them despite having moved to the East side. Thanks for all you do or did for Montezuma, Mochaccino, and Samuel!

I took my Dog in for a shot back in March 2022. Right hip hair was matted. Without consulting with me first that was pointed out in a email later, she went ahead and shaved the hair down tight to the skin size of a quarter. I was upset about this and requested some compensation for there treatment. They showed no concern or compassion. They failed to openly admit they were liable and could careless. Here Bad Attitude only showed she was so unprofessional and she asked me to leave. I did file a complaint with the state. The hair shaved area has not fully recovered now after 10 months. I been told now, because of the shot injection , the Hair Follicles were Damaged. I am now considering a law suite against them. I do not recommend them to other clients. I’m also considering having the local television station do a report on it. SEE MY PHOTOS ON THE BOTTOM. AFTER TEN MONTHS THE HAIR HAS NOT GROWN BACK. THIS IS WHAT THEY DID TO MY DOG. I now have a New Veterinary and very satisfied with there service. (My comment on Companions comments) below. The State board obviously overlooked my complaint since they will always favor a business that pays state taxes. I have been going there for over a year and all was fine, a good fit. But now, they did a major screw up and they know it. When I called them out on it they manipulated there way out and now referred to me as a bad fit. "So Ridicules". Let the judge decide when we go to court.

Tech was incredibly rude. Dr rushed through the appointment. Terrible experience and overall unprofessional response from the clinic. I don't recommend going here. Edit: Sure, half an hour. If you include waiting. The staff was rude, and unprofessional. Just because they are unaware does not mean they were not rude. I'm sorry that you and your clinic chooses to deflect and deny rather than accept any responsibility. It says a lot about how this clinic treats it's customers. I'm sorry too, that I ever gave my money to this place.

Dr. Tucker is the BEST. We rescue BIG dogs and she handles them and all of their issues with such compassion. You can tell she loves what she does and genuinely cares for the people too. Thank you!!!
