How to Save Money at Tanglewood 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.

Dr. Bonnie is the best! I have been bringing my monstrous dogs to her for a few years now...we never feel rushed through our appointments and she is always happy to answer any questions or concerns. My doggos love her too...she makes excuses for their atrocious manners and gives them treats 😂

Veterinarian, Bonnie, is the best. I've used her services for over 30 years. Prices are reasonable and always makes time to see my pets when they need to be seen. Under her care, my cats have lived healthy lives up to 19 years!

When we moved to Derby I went to a "bigger" vet facility. It was very overwhelming because I felt like I was constantly being persuaded to buy product or services. For example, it was recommended I spend $1500-2000 to have my older dog's teeth completely removed. I transferred to Tanglewood Veterinary Clinic for a second opinion and never turned back! I never felt pressured to buy product or "up" a service. Bonnie was always so kind, patient, and I never felt rushed. If she DID recommend a product or service I could trust it was REALLY needed. *Side note* I did NOT have my dog's teeth removed and she went another two years continuing to eat normal dog food and never having any infection or problem with natural tooth loss. When it was time to put my dog down, Bonnie was very kind and chatted with me as I waited for my pup to be sedated. I felt calm and comfortable the whole process. I highly recommend this clinic!

I called merely a few days before, and the lady goty mother-in-law in with her four dogs! My Mama is a widow, and she's turning 70, so any kindness shown is so much appreciated by us. The vet made her feel completely comfortable, and treated each of her dogs like royalty. Clearly the vet knows what she's doing, and she enjoys it. Thank you Tanglewood Vet for taking such good care of my Mama and her four furry companions. God bless! Highly recommend!
