Remedy Care Costs at a Glance

Updated September 2025

Understanding care options

At Remedy, we know specialty veterinary care often comes with a lot of questions. Whether you’re scheduling an initial consultation with one of our veterinary specialists or preparing for more advanced treatment, our goal is to provide clear, transparent information and compassionate support throughout the process.

After evaluating your pet, the Remedy team will review recommended care options, discuss insurance considerations, and provide a detailed treatment estimate. We’ll take the time to answer your questions so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

Below, you’ll find starting fee ranges for select specialty veterinary services we offer at our San Francisco hospital. Because every pet’s medical needs are unique, these figures are intended as starting ranges rather than fixed estimates.
