How to Save on Veterinary Costs at UrgentVet
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 had a wonderful experience at UrgentVet in Oak Creek when I brought my dog, Lainey, in for a persistent cough and upper respiratory issues. From start to finish, the process was easy and stress-free. Scheduling the appointment online was simple, and I was very grateful to be seen so quickly. Dr. Otto was excellent. She took her time, listened carefully to my concerns, and thoroughly examined Lainey without pushing unnecessary tests. I appreciated her thoughtful and practical approach to care. The treatment plan and medications were explained clearly, and everything was provided promptly. The entire staff was kind, compassionate, and professional. They helped ease my anxiety and made both Lainey and me feel comfortable throughout the visit. The cost was also very reasonable, especially for urgent veterinary care. I highly recommend UrgentVet Oak Creek and am thankful for the excellent care Lainey received.

The staff at Urgent Vet were extremely professional, kind, and helpful. I would recommend them to anyone. We visited on Tuesday, March 31st at around 5:00pm. We were taken straight to a room and I had picked a check in time online before our visit. They were upfront about pricing, explained a high and low end for what may be necessary for the visit. They were very understanding with my nervous pup and talked through everything and how I could assist them with being able to look at what they needed to. There’s not enough words to explain how grateful I am for their compassion and care when we needed it.

The people there were so nice, Ariel helped us for the main stuff and she was so sweet, she took her time with my kitten so he could get comfortable. The vet explained things so well and made sure we had every question we needed answered. My kitten is already doing better. Definitely will come back for anything I need for him. We also loved the paintings and pictures on the walls of the animals, even one looked like my kitten.

The safe and care my dog received for a coyote bite was absolutely amazing! I will definitely keep going back for my urgent needs. The only down side was the “appointment” I made was not an appointment and did not matter at all. It is truly first come first serve and based on urgency. I was “scheduled” for 430pm wasn’t able to get into a room until 445pm did not see a tech until 545pm, did not see the vet until 615pm. I was pushed back in urgency because my dog was trying to run around and play when we got there. We were not done until 9pm. As my dog needed to be put under to get stitched up. I just wish the “appointment” situation was more transparent from the start. I don’t mind waiting, just a heads up before showing up would be nice. Other than that amazing staff and care! I felt like the price was fair for urgent vet needs. Hopefully I will never have to go back but will if I need to

Went in because my kitty was having urinary issues and Ariel and Dr.Otto were so amazing and kind with helping my sweet girl! Very attentive staff and they followed up with me via phone call the next day to see how she was doing and answer any questions. Extremely affordable for being an urgent care as well!
