How to Save Money at Denton 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.

Impressive, professional and modern, and most important, obviously concerned with our pet's health... all of which made us confident. Further, they were flexible in dealing with our scheduling issues, which was particularly appreciated. I have and will continue to recommend Denton Animal Hospital.

Had our first visit today with Denton Animal Hospital and it was a great experience. All the staff were very nice and welcoming. My three miniature dachshunds did really well and were very comfortable. Dr Cope couldn’t have been nicer very caring and informative. I’m so glad we changed veterinaries I feel confident my girls will get the best and loving care.

I don’t bring my dog here but I do bring my mother in laws small dog. The vet is always nice, friendly and helpful. You can tell she is an animal lover. On the other hand, the receptionist and front desk staff are just the opposite. Rude, unhelpful, and sometimes even plain disrespectful. I have yet to go there and be greeted with a good attitude or even a smile at some times. My experience recently prompted me to leave a review, I called to inquire some info about my own dog and again the women on the phone was very short on conversation and apparently time bc she clearly didn’t want my business bc it was 32 minutes before closing. I understand to some degree but you should represent where you work and promote new business and animals.

The staff here are very compassionate and caring to each patients needs. They go over and beyond what they are required to do to make sure you are taken care of. They made the loss of our fur baby feel like it was actually a family member, and not just another “pet”. Will never take my dogs anywhere else.
