How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Animal Care 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.

Dr. White truly and obviously cares deeply about the animals that he treats. 12 years ago our young Labrador retriever, Jackson, broke out of his invisible fence and went on an “adventure” while we were at work. He wound up fracturing both of his front legs at some point during his trip and wound up at the Dyersburg Animal Shelter. When we got there we found that his legs and already been cast and taken care of by Dr. White. We went to the Dyersburg Animal Care Hospital to meet with Dr. White. It was very, very obvious to us that he cared for Jackson, just like he was his personal pet. Fast forward to 3/27/23 and our darling “adventurer”, now a 13 year old, was in bad shape. Sunday night he began refusing food and could not stand for long periods. We brought him in first thing on Monday morning and the Staff was great. Dr. White came in and examined him and found that he had a 17.5cm spleen tumor that was pushing on his lungs. You could see the tears in Dr. White’s eyes as he delivered the news to us. He discussed all the options open to us and what each would entail. While it was an extremely difficult decision, we elected to have our wonderful old boy put to sleep. Dr. White was very gentle and caring. He made sure that Jackson was comfortable and gave us all the time we needed to make the decision as well as spend time with Jackson before and after. All doctors, everywhere, should be as truly caring as Dr. White is. The world would be a much better place. Thank you Dr. White and staff. We sincerely appreciate all you did for us and for Jackson.

I brought my dog in because she had been limping. I had an appointment and still wasn’t seen until 2 hours later. Every person that came in behind us went in before us. After finally getting in a room all we were given was medication, no X-rays, no physical exam. Here I am a month later and my dog has a torn ACL. The front desk were not friendly and unprofessional how they talked amongst themselves out loud. I should’ve listened to a co worker when I was told they were trash.

Unfortunately my cat went missing- when he found his way back home he was pretty messed up.. having bad experience with Jackson emergency animal hospital we were scared to bring our cat anywhere, however, even with the horrible news (kitty Jack needed a leg amputated) they did it pretty quickly and kept us informed the entire time. I don’t think I met the actual vet but the staff was nice. AND TO WHOEVER WAS INVOLVED WITH CARING FOR JACK, THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. He’s a sweet cat and deserved to live and get the care he received

It sucked. I needed help while my dog was suffering through awful seizures. A quack spoke to me, and after 10 minutes of talking, he said he couldn't turn around and come back because we weren't a regular patient. Of course, we were a patient to Dyer Co Animal clinic, but they don't even have an emergency service... which is another sad story....I'm done with both...I didn't have time to take my baby to Jackson... I was begging for help! I had to watch my baby die as he fought through seizures one after another...trying to get up and not understanding why I couldn't help him!!!

They are great with fur babies! I have been there with all my pets & they have treated them & me with respect from puppy to adult stage. If you ever have to deal with a pet that is at the end of life, this is definitely the place to go bc they have such respect & dignity for you & your baby.
