How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Anderson County 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.
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.

Recently took my older tabby cat to be checked out and receive a rabies vaccine. Dr. Ensley politely gave me a good report, and a vet tech named Kenzie walked into the room carrying my cat!!! He hates everyone, and is terrified of everyone!! She talked about how sweet he is, how calm and laid back he is, and I was happily shocked!! Fair pricing, and patient and helpful doctor and front desk staff.

Highly recommend! We boarded our Tilly there for 6 days and had her spayed. They took excellent care of her. Everyone is so nice, and Tilly just loves the ladies who work there! They answer all my many questions and are very knowledgeable and helpful. The office is run very efficiently as well, with reasonable prices.

My dog has lived with an ear infection and in misery for months now. Told vet after failed third round of meds i wanted his ear cleaned (so they can see) and examined as i fear something may be in his ear causing this. She just completely ignores that and says his ear didn't need cleaned and gave him an anti itch steroid shot and a 3 week leave in med for his ear. Says we will do it again if it doesn't work. Have WASTED 350 at this place and my dog is suffering. Found out there are zero accredited vets in clinton or oak ridge. Only knox has some accredited clinics. Crazy. UPDATE: called today, vet was 'busy' and couldn't talk. Did not offer to call back at any point in time. So that was probably a lie. Lady at desk kept going back and forth. Only half of my questions were answered. "what exactly did the vet do? Did she go in the ear as far as the infection? Was it clean enough for her to see if there was any stuck debree or polyps or anything? Does she expect ear drum damage?" Those were all left unanswered. Instead, i got told about how she took a small bottle and cleaned his ear. (I never saw her do this but I did see an assistant do what any novice dog owner does at home.) Never elaborated even after asked if it was external, middle ear or internal ear infection. Was told the second time he was brought in (third round of meds) for a leave in med, it 'looked' clean. I explained it was in fact still audibly sludgy when rubbing his ear and was still oozing. (how could it be clean???) Also said last time she tried to go deep it 'didn't go well.' Has this supposed vet never heard of putting a dog to sleep for a bit? They then 'referred' me to a specialist. I had to repeatedly ask what specialists are around and they didn't even actually give a referral. Both places recommended require referral forms. I also explained how it's terrible that we, a pay check to pay check family with a new baby, have wasted so much money so close to Christmas and my dog has not been helped at all. I got no offer of a refund. If you have complaints about vets there is a place at tn gov website where you can file complaint. Unfortunately google does not allow links. Just search on google for how to report a vet in tn.

They were able to squeeze my dog in on short notice for a quick urgent visit. Very lovely experience and the visit plus meds was cheaper than the visit alone would’ve been had I needed to go to the emergency clinic. In and out very fast. Will be bringing my babies back. 🐾
