How to Save on Veterinary Costs at 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.

We love Dr. Badeau and staff. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. They always work hard to get me in as soon as possible, especially based on urgency of my appointment. We take our dog and two cats to Tanglewood. Each has received excellent treatment. Also, since the clinic is a small family owned business I feel we get personal attention and everyone knows us there. Thanks for caring for our critters!

Reviews really are important!! My wife and I adopted a 9week old black lab and I researched all vet clinics in our zip code ( 4 clinics) and by far Tanglewood Animal Clinic had the best reviews and what I really appreciate is they gave feedback on all reviews including the one that was not highly rated. We will schedule appointment and go from there Thank you very much for all the reviews. July 29,2025. It has been 5 months since I made the above post about Tanglewood Animal Clinic and our pup is strong and really healthy. In the first post he was almost 5lbs and today he is 33lbs. We followed all the advice given by Tanglewood and we buy his heartworm meds monthly instead of buying several months at a time. It would be a little cheaper to buy in "bulk" but this way we get to take him in every month. The doctor does not check him out each time but we don't expect her to but at least she puts eyes on him and they weigh him for us and we think it a good idea to keep that contact with her and speak about our pup even if just 5 minutes. We never feel like we are bothering the staff .. in fact they recognize him and he loves going as they treat him as one of theirs and he always gets a good treat. Tanglewood will be our Vet as long as their doors remain open.

I called to ask a question about my cat and they were honest that they don’t recommend doing it with them and recommended me to go to a specialist. I have never been there but I appreciate honesty and they deserve a five star review

There are just no words to express how grateful I am to Dr. Badeau and her fine staff for the way they took care of both my Sonny and Boo-Boo recently. Although Sonny had a minor infliction, Boo came down with a high fever, lethargy, very little appetite and the worst was the diarrhea and vomiting. He is normally as healthy as can be, and this came on very suddenly. The scariest part was that his urine became very dark. Dr. Badeau had me come right in and the medicine she prescribed made him start to feel better right away. She was especially concerned as he had a bit of jaundice and his bilirubin (a liver enzyme was a bit elevated. Thank God whatever he had went away and his tests were normal after clearing up his infection. He is totally back to his rigorous and alpha-cat self now. I am so grateful to Dr. Badeau as I adore my babies and they are my family.
