How to Save Money at Parkland 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.

We brought our dog in for a health certificate for foreign travel. It’s a somewhat complicated issue because each country has its own requirements for an animal to be able to enter. Also, not all veterinarians are accredited to prepare the health certificate—you can’t just go to any vet. Even if you do have an accredited veterinarian, there’s special software to be able to submit the application electronically that not everyone has. If your vet can’t submit the application to the USDA electronically, it has to be sent by mail and you will have no idea when it will be returned by mail, and therefore won’t be able to plan when your pet will be able to travel. I said all that to say this, there’s a Dr. U (his last name is involved. Just call him Dr. U, they’ll know who you mean), who is accredited, knows all the ins and outs. There were 3 or 4 people involved in getting this certificate for our dog. Every single person was professional, courteous, really gave you a sense that they knew what they were doing, which makes you feel comfortable. And they have the electronic software. So, we had and appointment with them at 11:00 on a Tuesday. Wednesday at 11:00 they called me to tell me that the signed document with the USDA seal had been returned, ready to pick up, and we could travel. I can’t overstate how impressed I was with the overall experience, and it turned out to be less expensive than I was quoted by my original veterinarian, who could not submit electronically.

DO NOT take your rabbit here. I took my bunny here, I explained to the vet she was having issues with her mouth. The vet very rudely grabbed a pen shoved it up her mouth and said she was fine. If I wanted additional confirmation I will need to get an x-ray since she "didn't have x-ray vision" she's just awful. I am not sure how they're with other animals but the exotic kind should not go here. I took my bunny to another vet and they discovered a hole in her tongue.
