How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Cottonwood Small Animal Clinic

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Dexter, my 14yr old Dachshund, became ill in the early hours on Saturday 04-15-23. Cottonwood Small Animal Clinic saw him. Dr. Jahner, treated him. She gave me options of tests to do to see what was wrong. I appreciated her honesty, she is kind and compassionate. The staff there are awesome as well! they were so busy and went with the flow. Thank you to all the wonderful staff from Dexter.

Our dog Kongo became sick over the weekend, we went to CSAC first thing Monday morning. They got us right in and started testing on him. Sadly he had a mass in his stomach that ruptured and we needed to put him down. They were very compassionate. They allowed us to leave with Kongo, so we could let our family say goodbye and give him our love and treats. We then were able to walk back into the office. They set up a room for us. The vet came in and gave him a shot to sedate him and said to let her know when we were ready. My hubby and i were on the floor with him when we had her come back in. The whole situation was utterly heartbreaking. But the staff were awesome. Thoughtful and compassionate. And yes that is a Bully sitting in a box. Lol

We have been going to Cottonwood Small Animal Clinic for a few years. They are phenomenal! Now, they have an online wait list. I suggest getting to their website to get on it first thing in the morning. I was able to stay at work until they messaged/called me to say to come in. Although, if you choose to go in while on the wait list still, check in when you get there. My dog wasn't emergent, but had me concerned; so we went in to have it checked out. My dog Lucky had a lump on his neck. The vet, Dr Kross drained it, and we were on our way. She was very nice and informative. Their prices are affordable and they are very efficient.

I’ve only been in there twice, once, when I had to have my little buddy put down. And this time when I’m adding a new little buddy to my life. Everyone was very helpful and answered all my questions

While getting his haircut, the groomers found a lump they thought was an infected foxtail. My daughter frantically looked for a vet that could take him in. Cottonwood Small Animal clinic has walk-ins available. It took a couple of trips before we understood the walk-in rules. He was looked at, and it wasn't a foxtail. It is biopsied. He did have a foxtail in his ear. The thing with the walk-ins, you need to be there early to secure your spot. Then you come back later to be seen. The Dr. Took good care of my boy.
