How to Save Money at Middlebrook Animal Clinic
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.

The best Veterinarian in West Knoxville! It really is one of a kind in just how personal and in depth the care is. I have brought all my dogs here over the last decade and whether it is minor or major Vet. Sara gives her undivided attention on your animal. There will be times were 4 vets will all be working with your animal. You never feel rushed and there have been times in need where she will see my dog after all her appointments just to get them in. I could probably write a novel in just how much I appreciate this place. They go way above and beyond any Veterinarian's office I have ever been to. And to top it off they are very reasonable priced. In the past I always felt you would have a massive bill going to the Vet but I am always surprised when I have a 10 item punch list of test, shots, and medicine and yet doesn't break the bank. Just one more perk of this place. Recommend taking your animal here 100%!

I am so grateful for the Middlebrook Animal Clinic and their compassionate, competent team. I moved to Knoxville less than a week ago, and my cat suddenly became extremely ill. I took him to a different clinic, and after waiting an hour and a half, I was told that they could not see me. This was on a Saturday where vets are only open until noon. My landlord recommended Middlebrook, and I called them immediately. They were completely booked but fit me in at the end of the day. Dr. Szluha was so kind and absolutely wonderful with my cat. She spent a good amount of time with him and didn’t rush because it was the end of the day. The entire team was so wonderful and I am thrilled to have found a vet that is awesome and only 5 minutes from my home. Thank you so much for your kindness and professionalism!!!
