How to Save Money at Anderson County 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.

Recently took my older tabby cat to be checked out and receive a rabies vaccine. Dr. Ensley politely gave me a good report, and a vet tech named Kenzie walked into the room carrying my cat!!! He hates everyone, and is terrified of everyone!! She talked about how sweet he is, how calm and laid back he is, and I was happily shocked!! Fair pricing, and patient and helpful doctor and front desk staff.

Highly recommend! We boarded our Tilly there for 6 days and had her spayed. They took excellent care of her. Everyone is so nice, and Tilly just loves the ladies who work there! They answer all my many questions and are very knowledgeable and helpful. The office is run very efficiently as well, with reasonable prices.

My dog has lived with an ear infection and in misery for months now. Told vet after failed third round of meds i wanted his ear cleaned (so they can see) and examined as i fear something may be in his ear causing this. She just completely ignores that and says his ear didn't need cleaned and gave him an anti itch steroid shot and a 3 week leave in med for his ear. Says we will do it again if it doesn't work. Have WASTED 350 at this place and my dog is suffering. Found out there are zero accredited vets in clinton or oak ridge. Only knox has some accredited clinics. Crazy. UPDATE: called today, vet was 'busy' and couldn't talk. Did not offer to call back at any point in time. So that was probably a lie. Lady at desk kept going back and forth. Only half of my questions were answered. "what exactly did the vet do? Did she go in the ear as far as the infection? Was it clean enough for her to see if there was any stuck debree or polyps or anything? Does she expect ear drum damage?" Those were all left unanswered. Instead, i got told about how she took a small bottle and cleaned his ear. (I never saw her do this but I did see an assistant do what any novice dog owner does at home.) Never elaborated even after asked if it was external, middle ear or internal ear infection. Was told the second time he was brought in (third round of meds) for a leave in med, it 'looked' clean. I explained it was in fact still audibly sludgy when rubbing his ear and was still oozing. (how could it be clean???) Also said last time she tried to go deep it 'didn't go well.' Has this supposed vet never heard of putting a dog to sleep for a bit? They then 'referred' me to a specialist. I had to repeatedly ask what specialists are around and they didn't even actually give a referral. Both places recommended require referral forms. I also explained how it's terrible that we, a pay check to pay check family with a new baby, have wasted so much money so close to Christmas and my dog has not been helped at all. I got no offer of a refund. If you have complaints about vets there is a place at tn gov website where you can file complaint. Unfortunately google does not allow links. Just search on google for how to report a vet in tn.

They were able to squeeze my dog in on short notice for a quick urgent visit. Very lovely experience and the visit plus meds was cheaper than the visit alone would’ve been had I needed to go to the emergency clinic. In and out very fast. Will be bringing my babies back. 🐾
