How to Save Money at Cotswold 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.

They're efficient and friendly enough; it's only sometimes not terribly convenient when I have to call - I've often heard "If this is not an emergency, could you please hold" leading me to think they're overwhelmed. But I'm overall happy with them, my cats' surgery went well, and the staff is nice to them.

Beware- you have to seriously advocate for your pets here!! I took my cat in on a Monday morning, seriously concerned he had a bladder problem. The vet convinced me it was a behavioral issue even though my gut knew better…. Over the next two days his condition worsened and I called 4 times to update the vet on his symptoms and beg for treatment. They continued to push me off and told me to wait it out. I finally had to take him to a different animal hospital because he started peeing blood. The other animal hospital told me his bladder was blocked and extremely close to bursting, which would have probably been fatal if not caught in time. Cotswold Animal Hospital had his urgent urine results in their system and waited all day to call me. Thank god I was able to take him to another vet that saved his life. Will not be returning to this provider.

Our almost 13 yr old dog was injured and our vet (who we've used for 15 yrs) couldn't get us in until 10-14 days from now so I had to find another vet. After reading all the 5 star reviews on Cotswold Animal Hospital, I called their office and they were able to get us in w/ 36 hrs. Once we arrived for our appointment, I could tell we were in good hands. The staff has great "bedside" manner and Dr. Tschegg was awesome. What was a very traumatic situation has turned out to be a blessing. We're in good hands, and their location is very convenient- right in the heart of Cotswold (even though we live in Old Providence, it's only 10 min away). And I was pleasantly surprised to see the fees were about 20-25% less than what we paid at our previous vet.

Absolutely love this place! Dr. May and her team, especially Heather, were so friendly and patient with me to get the international health certificate for my cat when twenty other vets I called refused to do it. They helped me walk through the entire process and treated my baby with care and passion!

Dr. White is a true professional. While a NCSU graduate I recommend him as he cares For his patients. Charlie is better.
