How to Save on Veterinary Costs at All Pets 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
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.

4/29/26 11:30 a.m. Walk-in Unfortunately, my Mom’s cat had passed away the night before, and I was trying to help her find somewhere to bring her cat to get cremated. I had called many different places on 4/28, but it was after hours for most places, so I had to wait until the next morning. After calling a bunch of different places and hearing outrageous prices, I was able to find All Pets Animal Hospital, and I’m really glad that I did. The person I spoke with was very kind and understanding, and the price for cremation was under $300. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a caring and understanding smile, and she had mentioned that she remembered we spoke on the phone earlier that morning. She treated us with compassion and patience. My Mom had carried her cat in with her blankets, and the woman behind the desk (unfortunately, I can’t remember her name because this was a tough day for all of us) gently received my Mom’s cat as well as the blankets. My Mom had asked if the blankets could go with her cat, and the kind woman said she would ask and try to make sure that the blankets go with her for cremation. We received all information very clearly, and the transaction was as painless as possible in that type of situation. We will be receiving my Mom’s cat back in a velvet bag, and we were assured that this would be a private cremation; meaning she will only be cremated by herself and not with other animals. Overall, this is definitely somewhere that I would bring my animals. This is a place that makes you feel comfortable and cared about.

When I first made an appointment and brought my cat in, the staff was very nice and easy to work with. Note this was during COVID restrictions, so I was not allowed inside with my cat who was about a year old at the time. I brought her in a crate, they took her from my car, and they brought her back out nearly 2 hours later. The nurse told me they were unable to give her shots because she was aggressive (I had never seen my cat be aggressive in any way previously), and they also failed to mention she was covered head to tail in her own pee. I realized immediately and had to give her a bath when we got home, which was not fun for either of us.. The vet had me buy some anxiety meds for another appointment, which did not work, so I purchased 2 additional medications to try (per their recommendation). After spending $80 and many hours on 3 separate vet trips, I nearly gave up. The third trip I insisted on going in with her, and they were able to do the shots with that combo of meds. Ever since that first visit, my cat is very skeptical of new people and places, and is terrified of any vets office. I don’t know what happened behind those closed doors, but it was traumatizing enough to change the entire attitude of my cat around new people. It breaks my heart that she still has issues with trusting new people, and I truly think this vet plays a large role in that. Staff was great with me, but terrible with my fur baby. Would not recommend if your fur baby needs some extra TLC to feel comfortable.

I can't thank All Pets enough, we rescued a rabbit and he needed extensive treatment. They worked with us and helped us save his life. Now he is so much happier and healthier. The Vet is an amazing person and vet she truly cares about people and their pets

I've been taking our dog here for annual check-ups, vaccinations and routine medications since 2022. I like the vet and her staff are very helpful, but this vet practice insists on adding a 3.9% surcharge on all credit or debit card transactions. All my purchases here have been pretty big (ranging betw. $90-300 in this past year)- so if I don't remember to bring my checkbook, then this extra fee is added. And I don't quite understand why? Wouldn't a business add this fee if a transaction is very small and thus, the cost to run a credit card diminishes the profit? But customers are making substantive purchases. This is 2025 and using a bank card is standard practice everywhere - I shouldn't have to pay a fee and sorry, I do not routinely run around with hundreds of dollars of cash in my wallet.
