How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Spring Harbor 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.

Consider pet insurance

I love this clinic. From Violet at the front desk to Dr. Alexis, we. feel very welcomed and confident in the services for our two dogs. We've brought several dogs to Spring Harbor over the past 25 years. The staff has changed over that time, and we have seen several different veterinarians. Dr. Alexis is a great addition! She is knowledgeable, chill, and kind. We also really like the addition of the online shop. Keep up the great work!

Spring Harbor Animal Hospital and their staff have always treated me and my animals so well! I’m always impressed with the level of care, as well as how quickly I am able to get appointments scheduled. I appreciate how communicative and friendly everyone is. Even though my cat does NOT like to be around strangers, he is friendly towards the staff and to me that speaks volumes about the trustworthy team they are!

The staff and veterinarians at Spring Harbor Animal Hospital are great! I have found them to be very pleasant and highly professional. They greet me with a smile and it shows that they really care about the well being of my dog. My Boxer dog injured her dew claw while hiking. They squeezed us in for an emergency appointment in less than an hour. I was shock at how affordable the emergency care cost was for my dog's bleeding claw. They make recommendations for my dog's care and allow me the space to make the final decisions, which I really appreciate. I highly recommend this Animal Hospital for any pet owners!

Update 5/20/24: Spring Harbor Vet Hospital is all around the best place I've taken my cats for care. Everyone is friendly, helpful, patient in explaining medication and care. We just love this place and will miss taking The Boys (Danny and Joey) here once we move to Evansville. Thank you very much for all the wonderful care you've give us for all our cats: Cookie, Spunky, Joey & Danny. Original Review: I love the staff at Spring Harbor Animal Hospital!!! They are also friendly, courteous and helpful. Our cat, Spunky, is terrified of going to the vet but Dr. Wilson makes sure that he feels safe and secure when he's there. Thank you everyone for taking care of our little four-legged friend. :)

The staff is always friendly and competent. We have a terrier who can be a challenge, but the staff is always welcoming. Thank you for the years of veterinary care.
