Understanding Your Pet’s Estimate
We know that planning for veterinary care is a personal and sometimes emotional process. Because animals can’t tell us what’s wrong, a physical exam is essential before we can provide an accurate estimate or diagnosis. Once we’ve examined your pet, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan with transparent costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is veterinary care expensive?
Veterinary medicine requires extensive training, state-of-the-art technology, and a team of highly skilled professionals. Just like in human healthcare, we invest in advanced equipment and continuous training — but unlike human medicine, veterinary care isn’t subsidized by insurance companies or government programs. That’s why we work hard to keep our services accessible and offer multiple ways to pay.
Can I request an estimate before treatment?
Absolutely. After your pet’s first exam, we’ll provide a written treatment plan outlining your options. We’re happy to walk you through every line item and help you choose what’s right for your pet and your family.
