Overview
Company Description
Deep in the heart of Texas, Affordable Pet Care is a wellness clinic that offers quality veterinary services at cost-effective prices. Led by devoted veterinarians, our goal is to ensure every pet receives the medical care they require. Our experienced team supplies routine preventative care from vaccines to follow-up exams and prescriptions. We believe preventative care is the best method to detect potential health issues and step in at the first sign of illness. Affordable Pet Care offers complimentary physical exams when pets are due for their required vaccinations. For surgeries and more substantial treatments, we partner closely with Cedar Park Animal Clinic for radiography, surgery, and more. No matter our clients’ needs, we aim to offer affordable, healthy solutions.
