Affordable Vets in Burnsville, MN

Pets can be a wonderful addition to any home. They are great friends and protectors. However, having animals can be a huge expense. There is yearly care such a heart worm checks, but also unexpected illnesses and injuries. That's why it's so important to find a veterinarian that is both trustworthy and affordable. Here in the southern metro area of Minnesota, there are a ton of options for a vet clinic that is affordable and convenient. Here's a list of the top three.

1. Farmington Veterinary Clinic in Farmington, Minnesota

This is the clinic I take my dog to, so I am most familiar with the staff and prices. The staff are all very friendly, and remembers my dog's name, even though we only got him six months ago. Office visits are very affordable (usually around $40.) Their surgical procedures are more expensive, but that's to be expected.

The Veterinary Clinic is open from 9 am until 6, except for Thursday when it is open until 8 pm. It's also open from 9 am to 1 pm on Saturdays, which is really convenient, especially if you just need a routine appointment. The clinic is located right off of Hwy 3 at 645 8^th Street in Farmington. For more information visit the website at www.farmingtonvetclinic.com.

2. Burnsville Animal Clinic

I've heard great things about this clinic. The staff is friendly and the prices are affordable. The typical office visit is about $40. The surgical procedures can run a little bit more expensive, but Burnsville is a bigger city than Farmington, so that's to be expected.

This clinic is open from 8 am to 6 pm, except for on Wednesdays when it is open until 8 pm. The downside to this clinic is that they aren't open on Saturdays, so that's a bit of an inconvenience. They are located at 13478 Nicollet Ave. South in Burnsville.

3. Burnsville Parkway Animal Hospital

This is a full service animal hospital so the prices will be a bit more expensive, but still reasonable. This clinic features all of the regular care you would expect but also offers boarding, something that is nice when you want to go out of town. Having your pet somewhere where you know they are safe and the staff is knowledgeable of the pet's your history can be reassuring when you are out of town.
