We will be more than happy to quote any of our fees for vaccination, routine diagnostic and surgical procedures, and preventive health care by phone. We believe you will find them competitive with other practices. Quotes for medical or surgical procedures other than these routine services can only be done after examination and diagnosis of the existing conditions. Only our doctors can approve a quotation for advanced services, and a quotation is never a price guarantee.
It is not our intention to be the lowest priced clinic, nor do we believe we will ever be the highest in the area. The fees we charge are planned to be a fair consideration of the personnel time taken, the equipment used and the items sold or consumed in the service provided. Remember, many times the medical products used are exactly what human physicians use and comparing those fees, veterinary medicine is one of the biggest bargains still existing.
One problem in comparing value is that human healthcare is usually underwritten by insurance and the co-pay you see at your doctor may be less than our fees. The good news is that veterinary insurance does exist and our office always has applications for those companies to enroll your pet(s). Remember, the exclusion of pre-existing conditions also works for veterinary insurance, so you are better off enrolling healthy, younger pets. Also, read your policy carefully, sometimes as a pet ages there are some exclusions for diseases more common in older pets. At least these options are available, so explore them and see if they are right for you and your pet(s).
