How to Save Money at Franklin Veterinary Clinic
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.

Love DR.T ! He’s very knowledgable , friendly , and down to earth . Always appreciate his care . On another note , i feel the need to finally say something . The receptionists are for the most part, friendly and efficient . Melissa is great . Any time I’ve had the unfortunate experience of dealing with Tiffany , she is most unfriendly and rude . She actually greets you with a blank stare to the point of complete uncomfortableness . Very unsettling to deal with this behavior at the Vets office . If it wasn’t for Dr.T being so good , i would take my business elsewhere .

I have been going to Franklin Vet for over a decade. They were outstanding with my first dog from puppy to senior. The staff are always friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive. I couldn't have dealt with the passing and after death care of my first dog without their love and support. I have continued to take my current dog to Franklin Vet and that same standard of care has not changed. I highly recommend Franklin Vet Clinic to anyone. I no longer live in the area and but still choose to got to Franklin Vet. 10/10

First visit with our 9 week old maltipoo. Our sweet pup was very sick and they squeezed us in that day. This mama bear was very happy about that! The entire staff was wonderful! So caring and sweet. It was only our first visit but I would highly recommend them. Thanks so much for the wonderful care that Cody received! You guys and gals are AWESOME!

Overall I would give 4 starts but based off our visit today I am tempted to only give one. First, the vet tech seemed as if it was her first day. She asked us “do they need to be weighed?” Every visit we’ve had their weight taken, our cat was also instructed to lose a couple lbs so yes I would assume their weight needed to be taken. We expressed our concerns about our pets and the tech did not relay anything to the vet. Then the vet came in and she seemed to be unaware of the allergic reaction our dog had to a past vaccine. She did give her the antihistamine shot but then told us she “does not read all the files” so she was unaware of how severe our dogs allergic reaction was last time. Our dog also had ear swabs done and she came back with a medication that treats both yeast & bacterial ear infections, when asked which type of ear infection our dog has she responded with “I don’t know the swab was awful but this will treat both types of infection”. We requested our preferred vet for all future visits because we do really love her. We were just caught off guard by the attitude of the tech that helped us & the vet herself. We were told she is a travel vet and many patients don’t like seeing her. Just a warning if your new, don’t make appts with the travel vet. The receptionist was very helpful and kind as always(:
