How to Save Money at Chandler 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.

Tira, had to have emergency c- section to get dead baby out.she was to old to have any more babies but you can't keep your eyes on them all the time. Dr Chandler was amazing as always. It did not cost as much as I thought. I was expecting to get another job to pay for it. But it was really reasonable. Thank you Dr Chandler for getting my fur baby better and thank you for loving her as much as I do.

This is a top-notch veterinary office. Dr. Chandler and staff are friendly, courteous and professional. Pricing is very reasonable, and we’ve been very satisfied with the care our dogs and cats have received. Hemingway is fortunate to have this Animal Hospital.

Dr. Chandler is the absolute best, there were many times when Dr. Chandler met my family members at 2:00am in his office to sew up family pets. He is the best most loyal and loving Veterinarian I have ever met. He spent the last few weeks healing my dog Kane, checking his blood and taking Kane in on very busy days because of the emergency. His staff are just as loyal and wonderful people as him. GOD broke the mold when HE put Chandler Animal Hospital together because all my years with pets throughout the east coast from Florida to New York Dr. Chandler and his staff are the best I ever met.

Staff is very rude, nasty, disrespectful and high minded. They will mistreat your pet behind your back. They won't have at a time most needed. They violate your civil rights by banning you if you speak out. The female in charge now very nadty!!! Must be careful how they treat the residents to keep business or have a lawsuit against them. Don't allow any business to violate your rights or in any way. Keep a paper trail. Dr. Chandler business is going to change fir the worse if he doesn't address these concerns with imm
