How to Save Money at Los Caballos Equine Practice
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.

Dr. Muller is the best vet I have ever had the pleasure of working with. After 4 vets guessing and no answers to 5 years of mysterious back pain, Dr. Muller pinpointed the issue and treated it! My horse and I are now performing at a high level--rode 480 competitive miles in our first year and received High Vet Score at our second 50--reaching for our dreams. Dr. Muller is kind, takes time to listen and explain, and to encourage! He is extremely well-trained and listens, a true partner with the horse and owner. He gave me confidence to ride into our potential. There is no other vet I would trust with my horses for athletic performance. (I travel 2.5 hours one way for his care.)

Dr Muller is a great vet. We have only used him for pre-purchase vet exams, and he is always careful to find out what the buyer is looking for in the horse so that he can assess if the horse would be a good match. He is open and honest with the buyer. He does a thorough and fair assessment. He knows that no horse is perfect, and realistic about potential problems.

Highly recommend Dr.Muller. We've taken multiple horses to his clinic for lameness issues, and he has always gone above and beyond to provide thorough examinations, as well as detailed explanations of our horses' problems. We love that he takes the time to go over all diagnostic findings with us so that we can better understand the treatment plans, whether it be a detailed shoeing plan or an injection. He is truly the lameness specialist.

Absolutely love Dr.Mueller! Explains things very thoroughly, making sure everyone understands what is happening. Doesn’t talk down to you and whether you have a $1,000 horse or a $50,000 performance horse you get excellency care.
