How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Dogwood Veterinary 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.

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

Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

Dr. Chris and his staff at Dogwood Veterinary Clinic are second to none! They always give the very best care to our pets, and take all the time necessary to treat them. They have seen us through the fun puppy stages, and the sad/hard senior/loss stages, and we always feel like family at these times. We are very grateful to have such an excellent team of doctors, techs and staff at Dogwood. Highly recommend! 🐶

BEST. VET .EVER! I can't emphasize enough how incredible Dogwood Veterinary Clinic is. Everyone from the front desk, to the technicians, to the vets themselves, EVERYONE is AMAZING! Dr. Franklin is hands-down the most compassionate veterinarian I've had the privilege to meet. I have 2 dogs, now in their elderly years, with multiple issues, and I am convinced he has extended their lives by years. He is thorough in his exams, considerate to address any and all questions you may have and sympathetic to your specific needs. He is willing to go above and beyond what's expected of him and spends as much time with you as needed. I've seen multiple vets over the years and Dr. Franklin is unparalleled in his field, by leaps and bounds. My only wish is that I had found him sooner. And I do have to throw a kudos, shout-out to David, one of the vet technicians and Jennifer who works the front desk (and likely more). They too are friendly and warm hearted people, beyond what I'm sure is expected from them. I wish I could list everyone that works there by name because there's not one person that should be left out of this 5-star review. It may sound silly, but I feel like Dr. Franklin and his phenomenal team have become extended family, loving our dogs as much as we do.

Once again could not have been more pleased with the experience to take my Lulu to Doogwood Clinic we had an emergency come up and I called to be seen without an appointment … and we were seen immediately, without question. The staff has always been the best and thanks for their help. Lulu and I are grateful to have Dr. Chris since day one !

We brought our two cats for their annual checkups . We were seen in a timely manner by a very knowledgeable and kind staff. Dr. Franklin administered excellent care to our kitties… my husband and I highly recommend this vet clinic !

Dr. Carter is the best! He goes above and beyond when taking care of our two dogs. He loves them like his own and spends as much time with us as we need. All of the vet techs I’ve had have also been amazing. I wanted to switch vets when we moved across town but I was nervous because we liked our old vet. Switching to Dogwood has been THE best decision for us.
