Waldorf Vets?

[havoc]

I came on here several months ago looking to find a good vet in the Waldorf area. Thanks to you guys, I found a great one - St. Charles Animal Hospital. Everyone there is great from the receptionists to the doctors themselves. HOWEVER...I am finding them to be EXTREMELY expensive. I know you get what you pay for, but their costs are so high that I find myself thinking twice about routine checkups because I know it's going to cost me big time. I have an elderly cat who will not doubt be requiring some high cost care in the very near future, as well as two 9 month old kittens who have their whole life ahead of them.

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced vet in the Waldorf area, that still provides great care? I know I'm asking for a lot - all of the care without all of the cost - but I honestly can't afford St. Charles and still want the best care for my kitties.

Thanks all!

I've heard good things about bansfield at petsmart. One of my neighbors swears by them.

There is one Well Pet Clinic in Lexington Park (301-866-0304) and one in Waldorf (301-885-0263) They both are low cost spay/neuter clinics and they both offer reasonably priced vet care. Both offer diagnostics and are run by Animal Rescue groups.

I use Banfield at PetsMart in Waldorf. I have a 3 year old Beagle and we started with them when we lived in Virginia Beach and just transferred our program to the closer Banfield (we live near Patuxent River Naval Air Station but it is worth the drive.) The really great thing about them is their programs they have designed for your specific pet and you pay monthly which includes all office visits, vaccines, and other things depending on the specific program. I only pay $19.95 a month and you save quite a good bit because so much is included. So check them out. Good luck.
