How to Save Money at Dobson Ranch Animal Hospital & Grooming
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.

I cannot express how great this team is. They are kind, great with my babies, fair in pricing with payment plans to help make things affordable. I was also able to get my pups in within a reasonable time frame. I have taken both of my dogs to them and the compassion our family was shown was top notch. I recently put my boy Aiden down after cancer and I am very pleased with the way they handle the event. Very comforting and lovely. Thank you.

I cannot recommend this animal hospital and vet more highly. I found them when I had to bring my dog Apollo in as a puppy a few months old for chronic tummy upset and they treated me with such kindness and gentleness. Less then two years later, very unexpectedly my baby Apollo very quickly went down while playing tug of war with my son... We arrived at the vet within 10 minutes and unfortunately Apollo did not make it. Most likely a blood clot to the heart. To say the least, I was distraught as was my husband and our three kids. I'm sure our crys and heartbreak was heard throughout the entire clinic... But somehow the team from front office, the doctor and nurses made one of the worst days of our life's as beautiful and peaceful as they could. A nurse held me while my husband ran home to get the kids, we all got paw and nose prints and a clay imprint of his paw and they let us shave some of Apollo's fur to take home. We stayed almost 2 hours, saying goodbye to Apollo and we were never rushed. They kept us stocked up on tissue and kind words. They made the payment plan easy to understand and easy to afford. When we went to pick up Apollo's ashes, they did not hand him to us over the counter like a transaction, but walked directly up to us and placed him in our arms. The bag his ashes were in was painted by hand with his name and hearts. So so thoughtful. We received a card in the mail as well signed by the entire staff with kind words for Apollo and healing. I am in shock that they truly cared so much not only for Apollo but for us as a grieving family. I will FOREVER go to this clinic and recommend them to anyone looking for a vet or grooming clinic.

This will be my fur babies vet for life! I have never been able to find such great staff, such welcoming environment, or such reasonable payment plan options. They truly care and do right by you and your babies.

All of the staff were kind and patient with Buddy. As Buddy has gotten older he is more anxious in strange environments and all of the staff handled him appropriately. The Dr. came and spoke with me regarding his exam and findings. Together, we agreed on a plan of care.

I have recommended you to many people. Your staff is so friendly and your dedication and outstanding veterinary care speaks for itself. I appreciate the fact that your clinic offers a payment plan. It has enabled me to get medical care for my dogs that otherwise I would not have been able to afford of provide for them. It has literally saved my dog's lives. I think you are the best! Keep up the good work. Your services are a wonderful benefit to the community. 😁💕
