How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Southside 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.

I can’t say enough good things about this clinic! From the moment I walked in with my foster dog, the staff treated us with such kindness, compassion, and urgency. Dr. John Lindsay and Laura Paris went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable, cared for, and treated quickly. You can truly tell they love what they do and care deeply about every animal that comes through their doors. Even in a stressful situation, they explained everything clearly, answered all my questions with patience, and offered support I didn’t even know I needed. They treated us like family—not just another appointment. Thank you to the entire team for your professionalism, empathy, and outstanding care. I’ll always be grateful for how you showed up for us!

I cannot say enough good things about this practice! I just left my cat's final nail trim appointment here, as we are moving, and we will miss this place so much! I have been bringing my 6 year old cat, Beatrice, here for the past two years and have been more than pleased with their services. I have brought her in for a handful of UTI's, yearly vaccines, some GI issues, and frequent nail trims and have never left feeling dissatisfied. Dr Lindsay is PHENOMENAL and truly cares for his patients as well as their owners. He takes the time to fully explain things regarding your pet's health, treatment, and diagnoses to you before carrying out treatment. I have left Beatrice for a drop off appointment before when she had a UTI and received two personal phone calls from Dr Lindsay over the duration of her stay! Him and his staff are so kind, patient, and reassuring with any questions I have about Beatrice's health. Furthermore, all of their services are very reasonably priced, and they aren't the type that will try to upsell you. Lastly, I have had several occasions where I am barely able to make it in for Beatrice's nail trim before closing time due to my work schedule, and they are able to schedule me as the last appointment of the day to ensure that we are able to make it on time, which I greatly appreciate! I would recommend this practice to anyone looking for quality care and great customer service, and would not take my cat anywhere else in Chattanooga. Thank you Dr Lindsay and all Southside Veterinary Clinic staff for taking such good care of my girl!

We’ve been going to Southside Veterinary Clinic for the last six years. The staff has taken amazing care of the many pets in our family. I have no idea what we would do without them. They’ve been there through the good and bad. We recently had to euthanize our 14 year old dog and they made the devastating experience much easier with their love and support. Laura Paris is the biggest blessing and we love her and the entire staff dearly!!!

This is the vet we use for our cats. They have a really nice staff, knowledgeable doctors, and they are accommodating and reasonably priced. My wife and I are big animal lovers and have each worked at animal hospitals in the past when we were in college and we both think very highly of this practice.

Today we had to make one of the hardest decisions we’ve ever had to make. With the help from all the staff, we were able to put our Bear “Bubba” down peacefully. These guys have been the absolute best with our fur babies as we have 2 other females that will still continue to be loved by them! My heart can’t help but soak that in that we have such amazing humans to guide us into the right directions for our doggos. Not only do we thank you guys, but we love you guys for having such huge hearts for mine and everyone else’s fur babies!! Bear Gnaaji & Rona wouldn’t have done it without you guys!! Long Live our Teddy Bear 🥺😘
