How to Save Money at Anderson Animal Hospital
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 was so looking forward to being able to get my dog's shots for free which he needs. But then they changed the rules, and said it was by appointment only but nobody was answering the phone so you could make an appointment. Now I have to find some way to get my dogs their shots up-to-date.

My dog came home with an injury to her paw on the pad area it was bleeding. She got her nails clipped. They said nothing about it I didn't see it until we had gotten home, there were blood streaks on the floor and blood on her paw. She was in pain because she didn't want to walk on the concrete I had to pick her up. Side note: the receptionist is a bit snooty/rude. Didn't much care for her attitude). I brought both my dogs and they had exams, heartworm check, shots and nails clipped in less than 10 minutes for each dog. Seems fast to me and it was all done in a separate room from exam room I waited in. Different from what I've seen. Usually the Dr exams the dog in the room, I've never seen this before and I have taken dogs to the Vet all of my life. Just not comfortable with their ways. But prices were cheap.

At our last post surgery appointment our poor pup was extremely distressed. She had never had that response before and this was immediately upon entering the office. Dr P. Was great as always but on this day in particular staff member (Niki) was rude and unnecessarily aggressive and unprofessional at the front desk. Same said staff initiated and escalated a conversation into a situation then misinformed the Dr.of her own misconduct blaming me the customer. I was just completely confused about what had just occurred. ?????? Niki did not pull our pups record or report of the payment made in full prior to the post op appointment. Instead I was left to explain to her I just owed for medication the full amount, of surgery and post op which was well over $730 had already been paid upfront - she responded - Well you dont have to be rude about it ‘ I was shocked, very shocked I explained, . I quickly explained I wasn’t being rude. Perplexed I genuinely asked staff if she was ok . She was red faced and insisted on arguing with me…just a nasty disposition I refused to interact. Shaking my head I turned and walked away. I was again confronted by the staff when I opened the door to our room because it got stuffy in the waiting room. I poked my head out made eye contact with others standing in the back office. I was about to state how hot it was in that small room when Same said staff, trying to re-escalate the encounter giving me dirty looks and attitude “ putting her hands on her hips” said - “Do we have a problem?” At this point I was beyond irritated and disgusted by the staffs behaviour and replied. I don’t know, do we? Said Staff interrupted doctor treating my pups post op to accuse me of being the issue. Said Staff had me so agitated I had to call back and speak to the doctor about my pup. I was just done with the ordeal. . I couldn’t get out of there fast enough I’m dissatisfied and disappointed in the outcome and thought about the encounter overnight. My spouse and I discussed the concerns with retaliation from the said staff since I reported her behavior and was basically told by the provider that he’d got a different story’ - making me think he isn’t trusting me . We’ve decided to find another provider due to a loss of trust in staff and the failure to act on the part of the provider to said staffs behaviour We will not participate in funding said employee salary with monthly services for our pets or to be treated so poorly and have our beloved animals risk possible retaliation from staff.
