How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Cleveland School Animal Hospital

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.

We love Dr Goodwin, I wish she had more hours there. But she walked us through all of the options and answered all our questions. They were very gentle with our antisocial scared to death kitty.

I started going to Cleveland School Animal Hospital about 16 years ago. One of my dogs (puppy at the time) was constantly throwing up her food and the vet I used at the time couldn't figure out what was wrong, to the point that they wanted to do exploratory surgery. In a panic (two little kids + two dogs = no time or money), I got an urgent appointment with Dr. Basden. She took an x-ray and showed the completely whole kibble in pup's stomach (hence the barfing). Easy fix - change food and get an elevated feeder. I've gone to CSAH ever since. My older dogs are both gone and I just got a very good girl from the shelter, so it's a no-brainer where we went for our first checkup/vaccine boosters.

I really do love coming here but, I always wait 1 hour or longer to be seen. I made an appointment for 830am and arrived at 815 just to be stuck in a room past 9am with my Pup that already hates the vet. I didnt actually leave until almost 10am. This is the 3rd time this has happened. It's frustrating. Other than that, the care is phenomenal. The Dr.'s are extremely helpful. I just truly dread coming here due to the extensive wait times. They also charge for follow up visits which is silly.

We sadly had to put our elderly dog down last week. The level of care by the Vet and tech who helped us was like nothing I've ever experienced before. The buffet of food they brought him to eat, sitting with us, letting us reminisce, letting us run the timeline - absolutely incredible. Just incredible. When we're ready for the next doggy we'll be back here for sure.

We have used Cleveland School Animal Hospital for many years and love everyone there! All of our pets also love or loved the family there and never fought the trip. We highly recommend them and they will continue to be our preferred Vet.
