How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Northwoods 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

The people here embody respect and compassion for animals. No matter how busy, they always make you feel like they have all the time you need. When my Mom was visiting with her 18-year old dachshund, Trixie, who was coming to her end time, the staff helped her cross over with as much kindness and gentleness that anyone could ask for. A sympathy card came later, signed by everyone there. And today, I received a letter from the UW School of Veterinary Medicine that a donation was made in memory of Trixie. That's the kind of good will that has made me a loyal patient there for all my pets over the years.

We sadly needed to euthanize our 18-year old cat, and it couldn't have been a more gentle, comforting, and supportive experience at Northwoods Animal Hospital in Minocqua. We were treated with such kindness and compassion from the first phone call to the time we quietly left, and we were immediately accommodated in their schedule the same morning I called. I am most grateful for the wonderful people at Northwoods Animal Hospital!

What a great experience! We were up here on a fishing trip and our cat Joey became very ill. We called and they were able to work him into their schedule. He was treated and after a day or two, he was his old self. Wonderful, caring people. Thank you so much. Tom Krotzman and Mary Madison

While staying at our cottage a few weeks ago our Weim Jack became ill. The staff at Northwoods, Manitowish Waters, took us in on emergency. We are so thankful for the excellent care Jack received. Thank you Dr Hayman & staff.

I came in from out of town and got there an hour and a half early. They were very accommodating and managed to see my 2 pets between customers who had appointments. It was so nice of them to have done this for us. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.
