Pricing
Available published prices indicate the clinic sits above average relative to similar practices. Reviews give a mixed picture on cost: several owners say fees are explained clearly in advance and 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, while one recent reviewer felt pricing for diagnostics was too high.
