Cost

Pros:

  • "I can finally afford to keep my dog up to date with everything."
  • "The well check is only $25 (versus $129++ someplace else)."
  • "As the name says, they are very low cost compared to other vets and highly recommended."
  • "Dr. Ali really does try to keep costs low for you and only recommends things that are necessary."
  • "Prices are very good, it is low cost, their prices are listed and easy to view also of business card."
  • "For a bill that could've easily turned into hundreds and hundreds of dollars, only summed up to $200."
  • "In Manhattan, for this procedure I was quoted $1500 MINIMUM at every vet I called for his age, but here I was able to pay under $1000."

Cons:

  • "Total scam vet. Advertises cheap dentals to get clients then tries to add on every test in the book running your bill up to $1500."
  • "Their prices were good for the general exam but went up to regular prices once there was a nail trim, blood taken and a medication given."
  • "For $10 medicine they charging 100 I would say just use vet for $25 and take prescription from him and order on Chewys or amazon…"
  • "I got a little discouraged when I was informed that the very cheap prices are for the job about to be performed and only, prices don’t count anything extra such anesthesia or IV."
  • "This place is false advertisement they aren’t low cost."
  • "This place is a scam. 400 dollars for blood work urine and check up and that's with a 'rescue discount'."
  • "What would have easily been $7,000 somewhere else, was $3,000 with exceptional care."

  • "I went to a follow up appointment and it was like I was in another world, why wasn't all this information shared with me before."
