How to Save Money at Gallatin Animal Hospital PLLC
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.
Reviews from Google
Let me share my past experiences with Dr Marsha Gentry. She used to work at Enoch Veterinary Hospital in Gallatin where I took my dog Rosie to. Her symptoms were lethargy and diarrhea. Dropped her off around 8am. She did a abdominal X-ray and said she would monitor her. Said she would call and update us. It was after 3pm and heard NOTHING. Called and she tells me my Molly is dead. If that isn't bad enough she opens her own practice and my sister without knowing takes her dog there for routine teeth cleaning and she finds out that her dog almost aspirated due to the anesthesia. What is disturbing was Dr Gentry mentioned it as if it was funny. This Vet is not competent and lacks true compassion or knowledge of the seriousness of a situation. Stay away from her. Don't let her sweet demeanor fool you. That is the reason she has so many good reviews. Those people have been fooled and just lucky nothing has happened to their pet. I blamed myself for the longest time that I didn't call earlier. I had to say goodbye to my dead dog. No APOLOGY from her. Shame on you.

I am attached to the two rescue cats who live with me and want to do my best while I have them. My 10 yr old rescue was treated with gentle but professional care. I am glad I took her there.

Dr. Gentry and all of the staff at Gallatin Animal Hospital are amazing. They have been taking care of our dogs since 2012 and we have never had less than the absolute best care. Dr. Gentry has saved the life of two of our dogs in emergency situations and I will forever be grateful. All their clients are made to feel like they are the most important and they treat every 4 legged (or three legged as in our case) baby like they are their own. We are clients for life!

I just moved here from out of state and needed to find a new veterinarian for my 12 year old cat to get his vaccinations up to date. I chose the Gallatin Animal Hospital after reviewing their website because it seemed like a friendly atmosphere and located within minutes to my apartment complex. I believe I made the right decision. I was able to get an appointment the same day I called for a well visit. Dr. Wielgus was super friendly and very caring! The staff was also very friendly! Not to mention the price was reasonable for the check up and inoculations. I had some routine bloodwork ran on my cat since it had been some time since he had seen a doctor, and Dr. Wielgus called me the next day with the results as promised. She made a couple of recommendations to help me get his weight down and I am going to follow her advice. I really appreciate the entire team! They really showed they cared. I would definitely recommend Gallatin Animal Hospital to anyone! Thank you Dr. Wielgus and staff! I am confident Mufasa is in good hands.

I’ve been taking my 3 year old beagle to another vet in the area. I have loved them, they have always been so good to us, but after I shelled out almost $600 on her annuals, it was time to check prices and reviews of other vets. Gallatin Animal Hospital was my first and last call. I got an appt at GAH for my younger pup’s 4 month shots after Christmas, then she woke up yesterday with cherry eye. Today was so much worse so I headed in for their first available. On the way over, she pooped in her carrier. It was everywhere. I asked at the desk for some paper towels or wipes and I got so much more. Someone came in and took her carrier to be hosed down, and someone else came in with a big wet towel and helped me clean her up and even sent us home with a fresh blanket. Her exam itself went just amazing. Dr. Poteet and everyone are beyond incredible. The prices are completely reasonable and they even tried to find me some samples to help with costs, and got me a very palatable estimate for her eye. My favorite part - Dr. Poteet explained each vaccine and procedure, and I truly feel like I’m getting exactly what my pup needs and not being sold any unnecessary services or treatments. GAH is a breath of fresh air.
