How to Save Money at Cedarwood Veterinary 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.

AMAZING VET! I can not say enough good things about them. I took my kitten, Mortimer in and he didn’t even want to leave when it was time to go! Mortimer turned out to be fine, and didn’t need any treatment but they were so sweet and gentle throughout his entire visit. They take a different approach than all the vets I’ve been to, they take their time to make it a easy and stress free experience for your fur-babies. They also communicate very well with you on what things possible could be and how things might go, and they welcome any questions you might have. They let Mortimer get comfortable with his surrounding and them before doing anything, they even had toys for him to play with in the room. Then as they were leaving the room to grab something, they noticed Mortimer was curious and even took him out of the room to look around the clinic. At the end, I went to put him in his carrier to leave, which he normally goes in without any issues but he refused for a good few minutes. He did not want to leave! 😂 Overall, wonderful experience, very calm and friendly environment, great communication and very informative, very sweet and gentle people, and the price wasn’t bad either. I highly recommend!

Third visit in four weeks with a very sick pooch. Two times with Dr. Sandra Manes and once with Dr. Joleen Greenan. The level of care afforded by both vets along with Chris the vet tech. has been nothing short of miraculous. The amount of time they have spent on this one dog is amazing. I might add that one of the visits was unannounced. Made no difference even though they we’re already booked solid for the day. They still took him in and made sure he didn’t leave until they felt they had done everything they could. They also took an extraordinary amount of time to answer our 99 questions. Good luck in finding a better veterinarian clinic.

The staff is friendly and efficient. The doctors really care about you and your pet. They are a hospital, so if bloodwork and procedures are needed they can be done on site. They were amazing with our older girl, from diagnosis, to special food and medication, right up till we had to say goodbye. And they cried with us. Highly recommend for the care of your furbaby.

These people are AMAZING. My mom found a stray in her yard with an injured foot. Nobody would claim it, rescues and shelters were all full and nobody could provide funding for treatment, but we didn’t want to just let it suffer so we agreed that my mom would find treatment and then I would try to find the dog a home in Nashville afterwards. My mom called Cedarwood and they made time in the schedule to see her THAT DAY. They carried the dog in from the car for my mom and then took the time to share their exam findings and info with me on FaceTime! They brought the camera up to the XRay and showed me all the things they were concerned about so my mom didn’t have to try and remember it all. They took extra time to check on costs before we decided on treatment and even kept the dog comfortable overnight before they put the cast on her the next morning. The Vet was so patient and answered all our questions, the tech was incredibly friendly and talked us through all the next steps in the dog’s care and what we could expect. When my dad picked the dog up the next morning, they made sure he had all the info too so nothing was missed. This isn’t even the first time Cedarwood has made room in their schedule for my parents. We will always recommend them to anyone in East Tennessee!

Finally, a vet who listened to our concerns about our fur baby. They are a fear free clinic. Our last vet didn’t seem to care. Thank you Cedarwood Veterinary Hospital. We love you! The Broadus Family
