How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Chenault 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

. The staff at Chenault veterinary hospital always takes great care of their furry patients and ensures that they look and feel their best. It's wonderful to see how happy and confident my grandmother's puppy is after her grooming session. I'm sure she'll be strutting her stuff and showing off her new look to everyone she meets. Thanks to Chenault veterinary hospital for always providing top-notch care and making our furry friends feel special!

Our Belgian Malinois, Nitro, has been under the care of Dr. Kellar-Brown for the past two years now and we could not be more pleased with the care he has received. Everyone from the front office staff, to Morgan, Nitro's favorite veterinary technician, to Dr. Kellar-Brown is committed to providing an exceptional experience for Nitro and his parents. We are so grateful!

Took my cat for his 1st visit. Staff is very nice and helpful. My cat did good with Vet McKercher and tech. He got weighed, examined, nails trimmed and a shot. My cat is happy to be home. The vet understood my cat. Was patient with him. Great place to take your fur-baby for health needs.

Quality veterinary care for our beloved pets. Our vet is Dr. Kellar, and imho, she’s great with my babies. I have been to more than one appointment with Dr. Kellar where, despite how incredibly busy she and her vet techs are, Dr. Kellar begins each visit by greeting my pets by their names. Personally, I appreciate this detail, it’s my beloved babies they are treating, not me. And, after practically each appointment, Dr. Kellar and her technicians take a few seconds to sit on the exam room floor cross-legged to let my babies head bang into their shoulders or bodies, allowing my pets to shower them with tons of kisses, and receive scratches, cuddles and treats. This is how we are with our pets in our own home every day. It shows a lot that Dr. Kellar, her technicians and even the front office staff will sit on the floor with our pets and interact with them the way we do in our own homes. I ask a fair amount of questions about my pups’ health, if appropriate. Dr. Kellar takes time to answer my questions and provide a bit of information for me to fully understand how I can best address my pets’ needs (if applicable). Thank you Dr. Kellar, Morgan, Marie and Marcus, to name a few, for loving our babies as if they were your own when we visit you. We wouldn’t want it any other way.

Traveller loves coming to Chenault Veterinary Hospital and so do I. I've been coming here over 20 years and I wouldn't dream of taking my dogs anywhere else. Everything about this place is perfect. Dr. Chenault and very capable vet tech Mandy (don't let her small size fool you; she can handle the craziest of dogs) are so professional, kind and caring. So sympathetic to me when I had to put my last dog down. Never ever have they steered me wrong with bad advise, and I feel they are not out to make a buck but to do what's best for my dog. The office staff is professional, cheerful and polite, not to mention very efficient. I have never had a bad experience here. Also, I have boarded a couple of my dogs, as well as used the pool and those are wonderful facilities.
