How to Save Money at Avenue Animal 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.

Love love love everyone here! You can tell they all have pets of their own and will love your fur babies as if they were their own. They have saved the day (and probably my cats life more then once). They have always been so kind and polite and easy to work with. Squeezing us in for emergencies. Letting me email pictures of my cats teeth or butt. Checking overnight voicemails and getting back to us right away. Okay maybe that makes me sound a little crazy, but seriously every person we interact with has been awesome. Although Neville, Panda, and Carl don't necessarily love to come in, we love having a place so close that truly cares about the health of our furry family.

The Crew at Avenue Veterinarian Hospital are by far the best Vet Office in Mt. Juliet. Compassionate to the tenth power. They’ve helped multiple of our feral cats turned domestic. They do checkup calls afterward which is amazing. They’re busy for a reason. No question all our pets go to this gem in our sweet town. Love you all.

I’ve used Aveune vet for years and was always happy with their care and love toward my pets. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case. The past few appointments have been unprofessional to say the least. They have failed to communicate requirements for blood work, failed to have appropriate medication my pet once at their location. They best way to describe their care of animals and how they mange staff, appointments, is sloppy. They are argumentative when asked why are the possible solutions to their mistakes, constant mistakes. They choose not to be accountability or responsible not be proactive in addressing issues, issues that could be avoided if they were professional. The actually techs who work with the animals, are great, caring and compassion. It’s the front of house staff who are detrimental to the care of the the animals. I would not recommend this establishment.

The most kindest, empathetic, patient and down to earth group of people I’ve ever met at a vet clinic. If I were still a vet tech, this is the ideal clinic. I would’ve loved to worked at. Dr. Erkman is a very knowledgeable and a thorough veterinarian. I would trust any of my animals with her! Her people skills are outstanding and they way she speaks to you is very respectful, rather than at you. HUGE shout out to the techs also! The way they handled my sick baby girl with such love and gentle care was superior! Taylor at the front has the greatest and most understanding voice, a true comfort and vital asset. She has the friendliest smile and helps out you at ease immediately. From the bottom of my heart, thank you AAH

Forget the fact that I think their spay and neuters look like butcher-job. Forget the fact that their prices feel drastically higher than other clinics. How about the fact that it appears they don't even do the actual medical work as they claim they do? Today I had to put down my kitten who was spayed here just yesterday. When they released her to me, she was very lethargic, and barely could breathe. Bringing her back in today, it turns out she had a collapsed lung likely due to pneumonia, and likely infection relating to kidney issues. As far as I'm aware, no apparent tests were run that would check for any of this beforehand. Additionally, on discharge, the checkup form they gave me indicated that they had checked her respiratory abilities and found no issue. It appears that they did not check for this on release though, as I suspect they would have noticed something was wrong. Unfortunately as a non-trained professional, it was just assumed to be the reaction from the anesthesia. The kitten's condition and breathing was in the same state from the moment I picked her up to the moment she was put down. To make this more frustrating, the clinic also couldn't keep her there to attempt to save her over the weekend, as they didn't have weekend staff. Instead they recommended to pass her off to an ER location that would cost $3000 a day for a chance of her to make a recovery. In the end the hard decision was made to end her suffering, despite her short life lived. Of course there's really nothing the public can do, as the wonderful animal medical system often feels like a massive hustle for the consumer and leaves you with no legs to stand on. I would not recommend this clinic to anyone. I believe there are much better, and cheaper, options in town.
