How to Save Money at Abraham's Equine Clinic
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.

The staff at Abraham's was the best. They were informative, and caring to us and our donkey, Finny!!. We felt safe, and very much embraced. We didn't receive good news, but the vet and techs were very gracious and sensitive to us in the delivery of the bad news. Truly, They're the best. We live you all. Finny is laid to rest, at peace, in our pasture. 💙

Top notch care! I had a colicky horse right after the Derecho. Even while cleaning up their own catastrophe, Dr. Abraham did not hesitate to have me bring my horse up. Amazing team at Abraham's Equine Clinic! My family and I thank you!

The only vet I enjoy there is Dr. Jeremy Servantez. Everyone else has little personality. One of their vets was going to put my friends horse down from a leg injury. My friend said no and took her horse home. The horse is now as he used to be. I got charged $950 for a small chest stitch.

I made my regular appointment for annual vaccinations, requesting same as last year’s, for my 2 riding horses, and also a leg exam on one of the horses who had been limping. Vet Alyssa Ball ran hand down leg, said nothing was wrong. I asked for an x-ray, was told No. She brought up cortisone shot, then said it could not be done same day as floating. I asked again for an x-ray, 2x saying horse had leg problems on and off, and pointing out my horse was favoring leg. No again, instead she talked about Performance joint supplement, with no diagnosis that joint was the issue. Charged $54 for exam and $194 for joint supplement that horse won’t eat. When I got home and read over bills, realized neither horse rec’d Strangles booster. Took me 2 weeks to get an appointment with another clinic to get Strangles booster done, and leg examined. Yes, there was something wrong, which was found because that vet did a thorough exam from shoulder to hoof. He took time to listen to me, my concerns, explained what he was doing and why. $40 exam fee. At previous appointments, my horses and I were treated well at AEC, but this last time my concerns and my horses were blown off by the vet.

Sent a maiden mare to be bred and asked for cultures. I was towards the end of the season and it never happened. No testing whatsoever. They refused to keep her past confirmation for a chance to rebreed. All I got was a bill and no foal.
