How to Save Money at Nashville Animal 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 can never say enough good things about this wonderful Veterinarian Group! We drive an hour each way because I trust them and they always take great care of our whole rescue farm! They are so fair and honest! I'm so grateful for them because they have saved so many of our rescue animals at a price we could afford! I'm very holistic and careful w over vaccination and I'm against flea pills etc...I really appreciate that they don't hound me or shame me like other vets have. They respect people's personal beliefs and will work along with them; this to me is true service and kindness! They saved my goat Rufios life and amputated his lower leg on a night emergency call (see pic)! They also saved the life of my other goat Snowflake when he had stones in his urethra track. I can't tell you how many times I had to bring seizure dogs in off hours because they wouldn't stop seizing. I think I've been going here for around 17 years now. A Pomeranian puppy (see pic) was surrendered to me because it had Parvo and the owner could not afford the 3k the vet quoted to save its life that day. I took it to Nashville where it stayed for a week and my bill was less than $500!!! The original owner adopted the puppy back after he was healed because they could afford that price. THAT'S A HUGE DIFFERENCE! Thank you NAC for being so kind and providing quality affordable care to so many ❤️ the Thieleman's!

I always seem to get a different vet whenever I'm here, but they're all great (I'm not complaining, especially since I've always been a walk-in except for one time I had an appointment and I never request anyone specifically). I greatly appreciate their clinic hours and their affordability. I will definitely continue to bring my pets here, no matter what my commute may be.

The vet and staff were very kind,helpful and sympathetic when I called them very upset when my dog was hit by a truck and was in duress. They were willing to stay after hours in order to see her, but unfortunately she passed away before we had a chance to get her there. I'd give 10 stars if I could. I highly recommend this place.

We have been going to Nashville animal clinic for over 30 years. We bring our pet family here when they have a problem or need to get shots. They have treated our babies and also helped when one of our family needs the final act of kindness.
