Pricing

Available published prices indicate the clinic sits above average relative to similar practices. Reviews still suggest costs are usually explained clearly in advance, and several owners mention the Healthy Pet Club as a useful way to spread the cost of vaccines, check-ups, tests, and discounts on procedures such as neutering.
