Veterinarian availability varies—book an appointment to ensure one is onsite. Clinics provide only routine vaccines and preventive tests. For emergencies, visit the nearest emergency vet hospital.
This review is for Vetco Clinic, and it’s my first pet-parent review of the New Year. If you’re like me and your fur baby is truly family, then you already know you want to take care of them as such. But let’s be real—vet visits are expensive these days, and I needed to get my guy Boomer his shots and a little wellness check without it turning into a whole financial event. So I started looking for an affordable clinic, and a lot of places claim they’re affordable… and then you get there and the prices are not giving “affordable” at all.
I made an appointment with Vetco Clinic, and I went to the one on 86th and Lexington because it’s closest to me. Booking online was super easy, and I was able to get a same-day appointment, which I loved. When I got there, I was honestly surprised—in the best way—because it really wasn’t expensive. They even give you a 20% coupon when you sign up to go, so you can use that discount right away, which is a nice bonus.
Boomer got three shots and my total was $80. And the guy in front of me was last minute trying to get his baby ready for boarding, and she needed like five or six shots, and his total was $149… and that’s before even thinking about the 20% discount. For New York? That is genuinely great.
But beyond the price, the vets and staff were really sweet. Boomer is a rescue, so he’s a little squeamish and very big on energy and who’s handling him, and he didn’t give them any issues at all. They did the shots so quick and smooth, he wasn’t in pain, he wasn’t drowsy afterwards, and you can tell they actually care about the pets they’re seeing. And that matters to me because he’s my baby—my first son—so I’m always paying attention to how people treat him.
It was quick, simple, easy, and most importantly affordable. They were also open to questions, so if you need to ask about medications, flea and tick prevention, food, anything—they’ll talk to you and help without making you feel rushed. I highly recommend Vetco Clinic if you’re trying to keep up with your pet’s care without it costing you an arm and a leg. We need affordable options, and this one really came through.

Dr Mays and his staff were great and friendly and calming for my dog. She had 2 vaccines and were completely fine afterwards. They answered my questions and were helpful.
