How to Save Money at East Tennessee Veterinary 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.

Getting 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.

The best Vet in Greene county. My dog Trigger loves going here. I know it’s strange that a dog would love the vet haha. But when he comes in here. He gets all sorts of loving from all the girls. I say wanna go to the vet and he runs to the car. The service you get is second to none. And their prices are more then reasonable. I wouldn’t take Trigger anywhere else. Plus once you’re an established patient. You have 24 hour vet care if god forbid you need it.

Our family would like to thank dr. Alex Delaney. We had one of our family dogs 13 year old German Shepherd that needed to be put down and called East Tennessee and the receptionist without even checking with the vet told us there was nothing available and this was on a Monday and she said the only thing they had available was on a Wednesday never checked with anybody in the office And unfortunately that was very bad on her part and Dr. Delaney took immediate action and took care of the problem unfortunately we had to use somebody else to euthanize the dog that day but Dr. Delaney was more than on top of things with his practice and called us as soon as he found out about the problem. Unfortunately it was too late to take care of the animal at the time but he also took care of the problem in the office and we respect him and highly appreciate that from him. Thank you for caring.

I am not too impressed with them. We have taken our 2 dogs to them since they were puppies and when one got deathly sick they would not return calls and I feel they weren't really sure what was wrong. We finally took him to 5 rivers vet hospital [they are great] and they sent us straight to UT or he would have died.

My 13-year-old Australian Shepherd started developing symptoms of heart failure on Friday, Saturday morning I knew it was time to make the call. I was told this place would provide at-home euthanasia so she can calmly pass away in her home. They open at 8 am I started calling at 8:25 and no one would answer, I left a message stating the situation and requesting a call back. That call back never came. My poor dog. Instead of a peaceful euthanasia we got to witness a slow death, she was fully aware and i’ll never forget it. At a minimal a call back should have been made. Rip Koda.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone at East Tennessee Veterinary Clinic. A special thanks to Dr. Basket and her assistant Sierra. The two of them were very nice, and genuinely cared about my cat Locker.
