How to Save on Veterinary Costs at McMillan 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.

We lived in Hendersonville from 2012-2018 and took our dog to McMillan Veterinary Clinic in Gallatin after adopting her from a local rescue in January 2013. Everyone at McMillan Veterinary Clinic was absolutely outstanding! We always saw Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Kaufman, both of which are very knowledgeable and caring (although Dr. Kaufman would scold us for feeding Gracie, our “always hungry” Beagle-mix, too many treats causing her to gain weight *because* she has a bad shoulder and shouldn’t have the excess weight on it). Gracie started hemorrhaging on her underside New Year’s Eve 2013, so we took her to the Emergency Vet who couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her. They kept thinking she ate rat poison, which there was absolutely no possible way she could have had access to any. The next morning (New Year’s Day), Dr. Kaufman met us at McMillan Veterinary Clinic, ran some specific blood tests based on a feeling she had, and realized Gracie had a tick disease that had been dormant from when she was a stray 1 year prior! We’d had her on flea, tick & heart worm preventative since adopting her and have never seen a flea on this dog, so much as a tick. It was wild! Anyhow, a simple round of Amoxicillin cured Gracie and she never hemorrhaged again. The first photo is Gracie in 2013, when she was a patient at MVC, and the second photo was taken yesterday. I am happy to report that she is still happy and alive, at the approximate ripe old age of 14.5 or 15 years old 🥰🐾 Thank you Dr. Kaufman and Dr. Mitchell!

I cannot say enough about Dr Mitchell. He saved my dog from liver failure and has taken wonderful care of all of our animals since then. The entire staff is so helpful in every way and I know we are in good hands with McMillan Vet Clinic !

I am certain that one of the least favorite jobs of a vet is when a fur baby has to be put down. Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to one of ours. The staff and Dr. Mitchell made the whole experience as pleasant as possible. Options were reviewed and ultimately the most humane thing we could do was decided. They were kind, sympathetic and supportive through the process. Thank you for that kindness and for being so good with Sydney.

Dr. Mitchell and his staff do excellent work of taking care of the pet and owner. I was very nervous about the procedure my dog needed for a variety of reasons. Dr. Mitchell’s confidence handling my dog reassured me that I had made the right choice. I wouldn’t dare go anywhere else in Sumner County. The pricing is incredibly reasonable also.
