How to Save Money at Bloomfield Animal 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.

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.

Unfortunately my experience with Bloomfield vet was extremely poor. The only reason I am giving it a 2 star is because the receptionist and vet tech were kind. We were relatively new to this practice, this was my second time going for my dog. Our visit consisted of two shots and checking a lump on my dogs thigh(which was most important) .. dr. Snyder felt the need to lecture me on how I am putting myself, due to being pregnant, and my toddler at risk by having my dog on the OPEN FARM RAWMIX food… that myself and toddler could get extremely sick if bacteria from the food somehow infected us.. and then felt it was appropriate to tell me that I’m also putting my toddler at risk by not having my dog on heart guard because if my dog gets heart worm and somehow my toddler touches something infected with it then he can rub his eye and lose his eye sight. After I was lectured about how I’m basically putting my family at risk for my choices w my dog, I asked okay so what about the lump on his hip. She replied “well it could be fatty tumor or cancer but keep an eye on it to see if it gets bigger”.. meanwhile the lump was already pretty big … she never offered to do more with it during that visit, as this was my main concern. Regardless , I am glad my 2 year old had no clue what was being said, because if he did he would prob leave fearing my dog would cause him to lose his eye sight. It was the most unprofessional way to educate someone and I will literally never go back to her.

I've been taking my dogs to Dr. Dennis since 2001. She always takes amazing care of them. In fact, I moved away from Bloomfield in 2003 and have been driving an hour round trip to bring my dogs to her for the past 20 years. There are a bunch of other vets closer to me but I trust Dr Dennis. My dogs have all trusted her, too. People are amazed when I tell them that my dog loves going to the vet. All three of my dogs have felt the same way - they clearly love her.

For over 20 years, they've taken great care of our three Siamese, one Ocicat, and our Japanese Chin/Miniature Poodle.

If it were possible, I would give minus starts I am a rescue, working to save dogs from being euthanized or being hunt by animals in rural areas of Texas We are a nonprofit, and every $ we get goes back to save another dog. We are foster-based, so when needed, the foster takes the dog to the vet. Our boy went to Bloomfield Animal Hospital because he had diarrhea. Nothing special here. But the vet decided to do tests that total $760 without any real reason. This amount could save three additional dogs Because of different reasons, we decided to take the dog from that foster for his safety. So to get the test results, we called the Bloomfield Animal Hospital but couldn't get anything. We've been lied to that only the vet can give results and that she's not in. They promised that we'd get a call from the vet in 3 days. We never happened. So I called again after four days. And the same lies again, the vet is not In, and I get a call next week It was so unprofessional to hide from me for some unknown reason. That same day I got a call from the same person I spoke with earlier She said only the person who brought the dog could get the results I, trying to explain that it was my dog, a rescue dog, and she was only the foster, fell on def ears The Bloomfield Animal Hospital has only one thing they care for. MONEY NO common sense whatsoever. No Compassion NO understanding They can't be trusted as they lie in your face. I'd rather drive 5 hours to a vet that i respect and trust. Never again Bloomfield Animal Hospital. NEVER!!
