How to Save Money at Church Hill Vet 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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.

Copper, is not at all nervous when he visits Dr. Saunders. The staff here is friendly, and quite helpful, in person as well as on the phone. The Dr. herself called with test results for my pooch, which surprised & very much pleased me & post-op, I received a call, asking how the fur-baby was doing.💕

Took in our cat Socks because he really needed a good exam and some testing and medications and such due to the fact he had disappeared 2 years ago and reappeared at my moms house not quite the same as when he left. They were able to squeeze me into the scheduling within a few days notice and we were able to get the help Socks so desperately needed. I was overall very happy with the treatments. He will need routine care since he has some on going health issues and I’m glad I chose this clinic to see him and treat him. They were very gentle with him as well given that he had to have fluids and some shots.

Had a 9:30am appointment. Got there around 9:20am and checked in. Set there in waiting area until 10:30am with no excuse. Finally got called back to an exam room at 10:50am. I had other appointments I had to get to at the VA in Johnson City and better things to do than sit in a vet for a simple shot or discussion over my dogs hip issues so I left. I don't know what issues they got going on there now but it's definitely changed for the worse since the last time I was there. Would not recommend but then again there was alot of dogs that came in after mine that got seen and taken care of which I assume were just immunizations. Still would not recommend for your pets needs and health.
