How to Save on Veterinary Costs at LIVS
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.

11/10! Best clinic in the area! I have 4 dogs, and I can’t begin to say how wonderful of a clinic this is! Not only have they been amazing with my two nervous large breed boys I’ve brought so far but they have made me enjoy being there! They are very knowledgeable and kind people. Also, as a plus they are very affordable for the care they offer. I couldn’t recommend them more! When one of my boys was recently attacked the urgent care I had brought him to sent LIVS an email outlining his care so they could update his chart/get scheduled for a suture removal. I got a call their next business day making sure we were okay and checking in on fenris.

I feel very confident in Dr Browns work and that she in giving my animals the very best care. The entire staff is warm and professional. The new office is easy to find and beautiful!

I cannot express my gratitude to Dr. Brown and her entire incredibly caring crew. My little Gouda started having issues with UTI (that lead to a blockage and emergency surgery), Vestibular Syndrome, Heart Disease, and ulcers on his lips all within the span of two months. Thankfully, he hasn’t had any UTIs and the vestibular syndrome resolved itself, but the ulcers stayed and got worse. Went to another vet who said he would have this epithelial granuloma forever if changing his water and food bowls to stainless steel and if this allergy exposure therapy didn’t work. Eight months later and there was no change…things got worse. The other vets shrugged their shoulders and said sorry. The moment I walked into LIVs, was the moment I had hope we could heal him or at the least get better. A year and a few months later, He hasn’t had a UTI and his lips are not ulcers anymore. His energy is much better, he runs around like a mad man, and no longer attacks our dog out of pain. Plus, they’re very good with trying to make every visit the least stressful they can. Lifelong client for sure. First picture was at his worst.

Very flexible with anxious pets, and take their time to listen and get to the root of the problem!

I’m particular about vets and it took a long time to find someone who would work with me and listen to my careful observations. Dr. Brown and her entire staff go above and beyond the call and are wonderful with all of my cats-even those whom other vets couldn’t work with without drugging. I’m delighted with the integrative care my cats get at LIVS and I highly recommend this practice.
