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.

Morgan Anderson went above and beyond when I found a stray on the side of the road at 5pm with a collar but no tags. She was eager to scan for a chip and help find their owners after hours when I was unable to. Truly caring for animals in any circumstance is why I recommend Anderson. Also Dr Coker is always so knowledgeable and helpful with all my questions during my annuals with my pups & kitties. We love him 🥰 Kuzco & Rusee

I have been going here for years. First with my dog Charlie and now with my puppy Lil Rock. Charlie was a patient for years. He received excellent care and was always greeted with a rub and a wave. When we had to make the decision for him to suffer no longer, the employees at the clinic exemplified the greatest in care and compassion. So of course years later when we got Lil Rock we already knew who he would go to for care. Not to my surprise the staff and level of care have only been enhanced. Friendly, knowledgeable, professional and oh so caring. I recommend Anderson Animal Hospital to anyone that will listen.

I have relied on Anderson Animal Hospital vets and staff to care for my dogs and cats for the past 15 years. They have seen my pets for routine checkups, boarding, serious surgery and helping them cross that rainbow bridge. Throughout it all, everyone at Anderson has been there for me to lean on and provided the best care and advice at reasonable cost...always with a with a friendly supportive smile. I recommend Anderson with no reservation. They are the best.

Dr. Grady was able to see our English Pointer female who had a emergency while we were visiting a friend's hunting preserve nearby.Her thoroughness and compassion were sincere and explained options pertaining to treatments and costs. We are from out of state but we've had to bring dogs in several times over the years and have been treated like regular customers every time.The entire staff gets a 5 star.

Dr. Grady is the best! She was so compassionate during our recent loss of our Chloe girl after 20 1/2 years. She took extra time with us explaining and allowed us to spend as much time with our girl.
