How to Save Money at Wilson Street Veterinary Clinic
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

I have been very disappointed in the service provided by Dr. Mogavero. I had started going to Dr. Rice three years ago and loved her! Something has happened that she has limited time in this clinic. I went for a rabies shot yesterday for my dog since it got missed at his last year’s vaccine appointment that was done by Dr. Mogavero. He asked me how it got missed and implied that I had not had my dog’s previous profile forwarded from my last vet (we moved from a different town), which I assured him I had. He was only to administer a rabbies shot but somehow I was told I needed to get heart worm checked now before the summer (always had it done in July previously) and buy more Bravecto asap (although I still had two more pills that would do him to July?). I was charged $605!!!!! His 10 minute scolding as to why I didn’t get my dog neutered and asking me if I will get him neutered when he gets cancer, and his exact words: “Because he will for a fact” cost me $119.20! The vaccine alone only cost $28.39?? I felt bullied and unable to say no to Dr. Mogavero; I was very upset leaving the office because of his lecture and I will NEVER go back. I only booked in on a Wednesday because I was advised Dr Rice worked Wednesdays.

Don’t go to this clinic if you want a veterinarian with empathy. My dog was having a medical emergency: he could not stand, his pupils were dilated, and he was having involuntary muscle contractions - yet was responsive. By the time that I carried my dog into my car and got to the clinic, he was feeling somewhat better - walking, more responsive. I’m broke and the bill would be very expensive for me, so when I saw that he was feeling better, I thought I’d like to take him around the block and then reassess whether he needed urgent care. The vet told me that I could either get service now or not come back. Where is your heart? You can’t spare a few minutes for a scary and extremely rare situation? I only hope this isn’t the same attitude that goes into the care of the other animals at this clinic.

Had 1 appointment successfully. Then at next appointment, front desk told us they had no record of us or our dog. We showed them the record and they were confused. Then said that we must have called to cancel the appointment that day because they had no record of it. Rebooked us for the next week - and there was no Vet in that day! On 2 occasions my dog went through the trauma of going to vet - for no reason. Front desk staff is very confused. Vet not very friendly. Overall, incredibly frustrating experience. Would not recommend at all - zero stars is not an option though.

I am submitting this review on behalf of a dear friend who is unable to do online reviews. Kudos to Wilson Street Veterinary Clinic in Ancaster. Clarisse, one of my kitties needed prompt euthanasia, but her normal vet was too busy and unable to assist me during this difficult time. Dr Mogovero, and the Wilson Street Veterinary Clinic kindly made a heart breaking situation as stress free as possible. I am extremely grateful. Thank you. Joan Hryskiw
