How to Save on Veterinary Costs at GoodVets Andersonville

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.

Compare prescription pricing

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

Consider pet insurance

Good Vets has been taking care of my Pekingese Dinky & Himalayan Persian Sophie, since they were little. They always take good care of them! Soph just got her yearly checkup & rabies. Thanks again Good Vets & Staff!

I would not recommend this place to anyone. At my pup’s last or 3rd appointment, the vet could not even review my pups chart accordingly and failed to remember the course of action and what was discussed at my pet’s second appointment. The vet could not even get the sex of my puppy right. I also strongly believe a lot of my pet’s issues should’ve also been discussed and assessed at her initial or first appointment. The fees at this establishment are outrageous. They will charge you a fee for a simple follow up. I will discontinue all future services from Goodvets!

I'm not a big review person in fact this is probably the first one I have ever wrote. My dog actually goes to goodvets in uptown which we love, but last night they didn't have any appointments, so I decided to call the andersonville location. A wonder person by the name of Ann answered the phone, she was so compassionate and concerned for my dog Letty. I was blown away with her level of customer service in a high stress situation I was experiencing. She gave me signs to watch for and although they didn't have an appointment for Letty she consulted with the staff and gave me even more instructions and recommendations. I was so blown away with how great Ann was and wanted to leave a review as a thank you to her. As someone who works in customer service I can say this kind human left a lasting impression on me and I am extremely thankful. If she sees this Letty got into the vet this morning and will be ok in a few weeks. Thank you again for your compassion and professional manor. You are a rock star and Good vets is lucky to have you. Keep up the good work.

I have taken my fur baby, Reco, to several veterinary locations, but none have compared to the outstanding care we received at GoodVets in Andersonville. We were fortunate to meet Lewis, an exceptional vet tech who made a remarkable difference. Reco is extremely anxious, and until we met Lewis, no one was able to calm him down. Lewis has a golden touch when it comes to handling pets. He is patient, understanding, kind, and highly professional. He took the time to explain everything thoroughly, which not only eased my concerns but also helped Reco feel more relaxed. I truly wish there were more vet techs like Lewis. He has a heart of gold, and it’s evident that he loves what he does. I hope GoodVets recognizes the invaluable asset they have in Lewis. His kindness and expertise in treating my fur baby, Reco, are deeply appreciated.

A week ago, I had to say goodbye to my little furry friend. The folks at this location gave my sweet buddy a gracious send-off while somehow simultaneously offering comfort to me as I was a bumbling wreck. It can be hard to recognize when our best friends are winding down, and it is ultimately up to each pet parent to make those determinations themselves. But I am confident that if you are working with the staff here, you will feel in the best hands with your pet's health. Thanks for being the rare combination of stoic and empathic on my hardest day.
