How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Countryside Animal Clinic

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.

I received a recommendation from a trusted friend about Countryside vet, and I'm so glad I decided to establish care here for my cats. All of the staff are wonderful. You can tell it is a positive culture and they enjoy working together. The team clearly cares about you and your pet. They listen and provide several options for possible solutions. I'd highly recommend Countryside Animal Clinic.

We had our very first appointment at this clinic today and it couldn’t have gone better! Everyone was so kind and welcoming — they treated our dog like their own baby. The whole team is just wonderful and so warm-hearted. We also really appreciate the big bag of goodies for our pup — such a sweet surprise! And even without insurance, the price was surprisingly affordable. Thank you so much🍑🐾

My dog is terrified of just about everything. They do an amazing job caring for him to where he feels comfortable. It's a great feeling where the staff knows your animal personally by name as soon as you walk in the door. The rapport they build is amazing. They even set up little photo booths like the one below which shows they go the extra mile. Thank you guys so much for taking great care of my baby ❤️

We brought our little dog, Libby, to Countryside Animal Clinic in July as a new client. We were bringing her to a chain type veterinary clinic. Countryside was a breath of fresh air! Dr. Metzger established a warm bond with skittish Libby very quickly. She diagnosed an infection that we did not know Libby had and promptly gave us anti-biotics and treatment options and educated us on this condition. She did not push medications or treatments...she gave options and let us decide. Even though we live on the West side of Madison, we gladly make the drive to the East side-because of the wonderful and caring staff. The prices are not as high as other practices in the area. We are glad that we have established Libby as a new client at Countryside Animal Clinic!!
