How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Central Veterinary 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.

Every vet and tech here is amazing. I hardly ever wait more than a couple minutes for my pet to be taken to a room; they are thorough and patient with exams, the prices are reasonable and I have never felt like they try to sell me on more than what is needed. I switched over to them from another local vet after they were able to diagnose my cat with a rare infection that 2 vet clinics and the emergency vet hadn't been able to do.

They are caring and kind and truly love your animal like they was their own. I’ve been using this clinic for over 5 years and recommend them to everyone!

We have absolutely loved all of the sweet Drs at Central Vet. We have used them for the last year or so and have not had a single bad experience. They were so helpful with our boy who recently passed away. We even received a card from Dr. Svec who was the last dr who saw him. I highly recommend them for all pet parents. They have a wonderful front office staff which is a huge plus as well. They have never pushed me or my husband to do any unnecessary tests and have always answered all of our millions of questions.

Central Vet (Mill rd.) had been a breath of fresh air for my family! We are NOT your average pet owners; both my wife and myself have been in veterinary/shelter medicine for 2 decades. We have done it all! Veterinary practice management, licensed veterinary technician, shelter adoptions manager, lead shelter behavior specialist, dog trainer, and canine physical rehabilitation (PT for dogs). I am a Certified Canine Rehab Practitioner and received my education at UT. I’m sure that you can imagine; with the years of experience and knowledge that we possess, finding a veterinary facility that meets our requirements can be VERY challenging!! Things I am looking for in facility are as follows: modern website (showcasing the team is a MUST), online store, social media sites w/consistent posts, CSR’s who pickup the phone (not….press 1 for this, press 2 for this, etc.), electronic medical records (NO paper charts), clean & spacious lobby/exam rooms/restroom/outdoor space/reception desk, modern technology (digital x-rays, in house labs, dental x-ray, ultrasound, etc.), onsite routine & specialty surgery, email communication, weekend hours, and a high number of good reviews. That was just the list of what I look for in a veterinary facility, we haven’t even started on the staff requirements!! When evaluating support staff and finding the right doctor, there are a few things to consider. Is there a diverse group (age, gender, education, experience, etc) making up the team? When you have veterinarians across the “age spectrum” you can be assured that the medical tricks of the old days are meeting with modernized medicine of today. Staff longevity is also important! Trust me, an employee that is in the business to offer exceptional patient/client care will not stay on at a facility that doesn’t share in their principles. Lastly, having multiple veterinarians who take the time to provide good bedside manner, offer education on new treatments/medications, and believes in the importance of follow-up care….A++! I know, I’m a high maintenance person, but I own my animals the best possible care and will always take the time to find the most appropriate care for them. Central Veterinary Hospital has met all my needs for staff & facility! I am always greeted by a smile, the hospital is always clean, the support staff are knowledgeable, and the doctors go above & beyond every visit!! Thank you for taking on a crazy veterinary professional such as myself, I know that we can be a difficult group of clients. Shout out to: ⭐️Dr. Megan Broadrick for taking good care of the new patient Neshoba I brought to you! Tracey was very impressed by your hands on exam and follow up phone call to go over bloodwork. ⭐️Jess the assistant for your awesome venipuncture skills on a jumpy Aussie. ⭐️Autumn at reception…..you were AMAZING at answering all my questions, getting a refill on my pups medication, quoting costs for my upcoming visit, and going over all 4 of my dogs reminders!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️GREAT JOB⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

They misdiagnosed my cat with a flea allergy when she's never had fleas in her life. Not a single speck of flea dirt or itchiness. I tried to tell the Dr repeatedly that it wasn't fleas. The Dr was new. A younger lady. It is actually an autoimmune disease that another vet has treated perfectly.
