How to Save Money at Bowman Road 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.

Getting 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.

I recently moved here from Dallas & hadn’t found a vet for my 12 year old toy yorkie Lexi yet. Today she exhibited some concerning symptoms so Bowman Road Animal Clinic was able to get me in very quickly & addressed all the concerns & calmed this dog mom down. Dr. Lauren & all staff were very sweet & so gentle & loving with my baby girl. I highly recommend this Clinic, Dr. Lauren & staff. I am grateful to find a new vet here that I know Lexi is in caring & capable hands.

I cannot say enough good things about them, my dachshund has been through a lot the past few years and they have been so invested in his care and have referred me to the absolute best specialists when needed! We love Dr. Craig!

I love this place and love Dr. Craig. He has always seemed very concerned for the well-being of my pupper, and my wishes for her care. I'm grateful to have found him and his staff.

I am so greatful to this clinic. I get to watch this pretty boy quite a bit so I'm pretty attached, well while his family were away on business, he (Chewy) got sick. I took him when they opened and picked him up when they closed for 3 days. Chewy felt better each day and has been feeling better than he had in months. The staff of this clinic are top-notch and Chewy has a new lease on life. We lost his brother, unexpectedly and while back, something that was hard and I am just unbelievably greatful that for Chewys treatment.

Absolutely recommend taking your fur babies here! I have 4 dogs and this past year, 3 of them have had their fair share of health issues and Bowman Road has been a saving Grace for us. The entire staff is so friendly and treats us like they’ve known us forever! We moved to Little Rock only 15 months ago! They have now done two surgeries on two of my dogs (both tumor related) and did such a wonderful job. They are patient with me as I’m a crazy dog mom and talk me through every bit of information I need to know to feel comfortable. Dr Lauren & Dr Craig are wonderful people and Dr O’Brien just does such a great job and is so sweet. They truly do care about their patients and go above and beyond to help. Thank you!!!
