How to Save Money at Reata Veterinary Hospital
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.

Scheduling was a breeze and the staff were very nice. Our cat was brought in for a dental cleaning. Upon an initial examination, the vet doctor stated that all looked good and it should be a simple cleaning, although after x-rays they’d determine if there’s any concerns and would call before taking action. There was something to call about but they didn’t call whatsoever. They didn’t even call after he was done and it sounds like he was done for some time. I called 15 minutes before they closed worried about him, but lo and behold, he’d been done for some time! Who knows what would happen if they closed and he was still there as their own incompetence would’ve been blamed on me for holding them up from locking the doors so I could come get him. It wasn’t until my wife arrived that they said they removed two teeth. This was not an urgent procedure, and we were in no way notified that this would be happening so did not consent. If it were an emergency, sure do what you need but SAY SOMETHING! But again, it wasn’t an emergency, just a “well it would happen eventually”. To just go ahead and do a non-urgent procedure, not communicate about this as was promised, and then put the cost on us was infuriating. When I called to ask if he was done, the receptionist told me they were short staffed — this brings complications in the work day sure, but to completely miss calling to REQUEST PERMISSION to pull teeth and notify about new charges for it when it’s NOT URGENT OR NECESSARY, and then not call when he’s done and I’m left worried sick as they’re about to close down? Understaffed doesn’t excuse that. We’re happy that all went well for our cat, but the lack of communication in these instances feel like a very serious offense. We will not be returning.

Very happy with our first visit. Our normal vet couldn't get us in. So we tried Reata out and I will not be going back to my old vet. The Dr had more knowledge about my dogs autoimmune disease than any vets she has seen. Felt like we got great options for her for the future. Very personable and caring.

Jonathan and his staff take such good care of our horses! We have older horses and a 2 year old and his momma. Reata is very responsive in an emergency and gives good follow up care. They provide all prophylaxis and education every time. They are kind and love our animals like we do!

I just lost my beloved dog who was the last of three. Dr. Pearson was his doctor and she is phenomenal. She met him some months back for a regular check up and was there when I brought him in when his health declined. Nacho was his name and when it became apparent he was at the end with little possible to save him Dr. Pearson was with my family as we said our tearful goodbye. She made me feel better about my decision and the process and cried with us. I couldn’t have asked for a better doctor at this time of need. I can’t sing her praise enough and if you have a pet that needs a doctor she is the best around. Reata and all its staff from office manager to assistants and the doctors are the very best I’ve ever encountered. Please take advantage of this newly opened facility. Thank you again Dr. Pearson.

Reata Veterinary Hospital has raised the bar for veterinary care. Our experiences with them have been nothing short of exceptional. We had the opportunity to work with two of their skilled doctors, and both exceeded our expectations. The staff's camaraderie is evident, and their passion for their work is inspiring. I highly recommend Reata for all your veterinary needs.
