How to Save on Veterinary Costs at VCA Tanglewood Animal 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.

Clean facility, great communication. The staff listen and ensure you're a part of your pet's care by making an estimate for services and allowing you the ability to choose what to do. They're a little higher on the price side of things ( corporate, right?) But they're worth it! Carol is a great hospital manager!

Dr. Travis is a very disorganized and unreliable vet, I would not recommend her for any serious, ongoing care. My dog was diagnosed with diabetes this year and the care has been all over the place from the beginning. I was told my dog would need a blood-sugar monitor, that had a 2-week span in which Dr. Travis would be monitoring daily. 1 week into the readings, I call with an issue regarding the monitor, and am told Dr. Travis is out of town and won’t be back for the next 8 days, and no one else had access to the monitor’s reporting. The helpful staff ended up being able to gain access to the reports, but I was left wondering why Dr. Travis would not suggest instead putting the monitor on when she returned, or at least grant access to another staff member before departing. Throughout the course of months, their record keeping of his insulin dosages as been consistently inaccurate. Including them making recommendations based on inaccurate records which would have been potentially dangerous if I has not questioned it. Finally, this week they requested a urinalysis which I dropped off Monday. I did not hear anything all week, and called Friday to inquire. I was told that 1 part of the test showed “something” but the receptionist could not tell the details, and the 2nd part of the test was not complete. I kindly asked if Dr. Travis could call me to explain what “something” means, as that’s an unsettling thing to hear. The day came and went, no call. And now Dr. Travis is gone for the weekend. I will be switching vets once the pricy urinalysis is complete. Feeling very let down.

This place is amazing! It is very clean, not a stressful environment for pets, just gave me a warm welcoming feeling and my baby felt that too. Dr. Robin took care of my pup with such care and the staff are just so wonderful and super friendly. If I ever need to take my pup in for a check up, this is where I will be going!

Heartfelt Review I recently had to take my cat, Patches, to the vet, and I can’t express how grateful I am for the kindness and support shown to both of us during such a stressful time. As someone who experiences autism and struggles with emotional regulation, the situation was overwhelming for me—especially seeing my precious kitty in so much pain. It was heart-wrenching. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond. They immediately took us back to the room, and it was such a relief to let her out of her cage and sit on the floor with her, offering her comfort in her moment of need. When the vet tech and the veterinarian entered the room, I was deeply touched by their approach. Instead of insisting that I pick my cat up and place her on the table—a task that felt impossible in that moment—they thoughtfully joined me on the floor. They folded the examination table against the wall, creating a safe and cozy space for us. This simple yet profound gesture made all the difference. It felt as if they were saying, “We’re here with you; you’re not alone in this.” Their compassion and willingness to adapt so quickly truly showcased their dedication to both their patients and their human companions. I felt supported, allowing me to focus on my kitty’s needs without the added stress of navigating a traditional vet visit. I am incredibly thankful to the team for their exceptional care and empathy. They turned a painful experience into one where I felt comforted and supported. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone looking for a veterinary office that genuinely cares about both animals and their humans. Thank you for everything!

Max has been seeing Dr. Chapman since he was eight weeks old. At nine weeks, Max had a stroke which paralyzed his rear right leg. He's eight months now. It's been a rough time, but Max is so much better and actively healthy now. The VCA staff have always been great; friendly and professional. We are seen within a few minutes of the appointment time and most staff recognize Max when we walk in. We joined the Pet club and it has been well worth the cost. If you know you are going to be seeing the Dr. a lot, I highly recommend joining. We are using the kenneling service now as well. Cost efficient, a personal kennel, daily exercise and grooming for a reasonable cost. Plus knowing Dr. Chapman and Max's records are right there if needed. I highly recommend VCA Tangelwood to anyone and often do when talking to other pet owners. Thanks for all you've done for Max.
