How to Save Money at Cottonwood 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.
Reviews from Google
I’m editing my review due to their lack of attention to my dog’s ear, and the wait time. We brought our 9 month old in to be neutered and specifically asked them to clean his left ear while they had him. We also asked that they advise what they thought the issue might be (why it keeps getting dirty). Upon pickup there was no mention of his ear, and they hadn’t cleaned it at all. It’s super frustrating because it’s a small ask, and they had him all day. Then they gave us a pickup time which we were there for, to which we waited an extended period of time to get our little man. I truly don’t understand why you have to book so many people in vs putting the time into animal care instead. When staff are that busy, they’re inevitably going to start missing things. In the end, I’m not a fan of waiting around because there’s so many bookings, and I’m not a fan of missed opportunities that deal with my dog’s health. I wouldn’t bring my kids back to a doctor’s office that missed out on our requests, and I won’t do it for my hairy little son either. We won’t be back.

The team at Cottonwood Veterinary Clinic has been exceptionally supportive and kind. They provided outstanding care for my cat, ensuring he received thorough and compassionate treatment during his stay - as well as helping me feel heard and understood. The entire team has been incredibly understanding throughout everything that has happened with him. I highly recommend Cottonwood Veterinary Clinic for their genuine dedication to the well-being of your pets.

Willow and I are so grateful that Cottonwood took us on as patients. We had just moved and she developed a UTI, and the veterinary team was able to get us in on the same day. The clinic is bright and clean (smells great too), and all of the staff are kind, empathetic and knowledgeable. We’re extremely lucky to have such a dedicated team
