How to Save Money at Chestnut Mountain 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.

Getting 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.

My pet injured her eye so I took her to Chestnut Mountain Animal Hospital. Big mistake! These people are only out for money, they don't care about your pet. I'm on Social Security and get one check a month the bill was so high I'm now with money to take care of my baby's eye.i had only had 25 dollars until next month and they took it and wouldn't give me the medicine for her eye now she may lose the eye because these people only want money beware if you are are low income. I wish I could give no stars.

I fall into the category of will never go back. In the past I have taken my dogs to this clinic and it was an Ok visit. A few weeks ago my dog had a hard knot near her lip which concerned me. Dr took him out of room to exam which I didn't like. Told me knot may be an infection so he would give me antibiotics just in case. He said he needed a complete blood profile and I left after paying 262.00 for that small hard knot. Today I show paperwork from another vet on a new puppy I had just acquired. Paperwork shows no heartworm found during yearly exam in January 2023and I just wanted to buy flea medsbut no I had to schedule exam first. I declined and will never go back. They are all about the money. Response to clinic response: Bravecto lasts for 3 months so if someone wants a refill they have to have another CURRENT exam??????? So that would be more money......YEA. I presented you with an exam dated January 8, 2023 showing heartworm negative. But not to worry......went to another vet and was given the Bravecto

I love the staff at Chestnut Mountain Animal Hospital and have been a client for 6 amazing years! The staff are always professional and yet we feel like family because staff are intentional in getting to know each pet and owner on a personal level. Every time we "visit" we feel as if we are their most important and most loved client and my pup loves going to see her "friends." When my dog had more serious health issues they were quick to refer me to a higher level facility and continued to phone and email me throughout the illness and were diligent in coordinating care with the higher level clinic veterinarians. I'm so thankful for the care and concern and love the staff at Chestnut Mountain Animal Hospital extends to their clients!

The staff has been nothing but awesome to me and my puppy. They handle him with love and care, especially since he's going through his vaccines. Will continue to be loyal to this vet!
