How to Save Money at Richardson 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.

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.

I had to take my baby in because she had a large lump on her side. And the vet did everything they could to figure it out. She had xrays done and the vet wanted to do an ultra sound which i agreed too. Turned out she had a cyst that they drained for her and the vet called and went over what she would like to do going into the future for diamond and I had a sample of the fluid sent in for and some other stuff. But they were so friendly there and I really enjoyed there customer service with me and my baby girl. Still waiting on the ultra sound results and the sample results but at the end of the day I can gladly say my baby was taken care of there and they got her in really quick. I plan to continue using this vet for her and my other 2 kids as well! They have gained my trust!

They took wonderful care of our cat during and after surgery. I appreciated all the information provided about how he was and how things went. We feel that they are honest and always take wonderful care of our pets!

The best vet in town! Take your fur babies here!! The entire staff is incredibly friendly, helpful, compassionate, and knowledgeable. They make each of three my cat’s vet visits as comfortable & pain-free as possible, and they always answer every single question I may have. Dr. Miller even came out to the lobby to explain Poppy’s bloodwork to me in detail! There are no “hidden” or “surprise fees” and my Lemonade insurance is always accepted without an issue. I always feel comfortable knowing I am leaving my cats in exceedingly competent hands. You can tell that each member of the staff is truly an “animal person”. I wouldn’t take my cats anywhere else!

We had Dr. Tim. He was good with my Athena. She is a senior and she has cancer. He told us about the options we had about the bumps that are on her belly. She has had 2 surgeries and he doesn't want to have her have another one. She was given an antibiotic for problem with her urine. We will see him in 2 weeks after her pills are done. I give this animal hospital a 10!

I've brought my dogs to Richardson Animal Hospital for almost 10yrs now. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Recently my dog was in need of stitches and they got us in the same day and got the job done. The next day he was back to being his normal self. I'm very thankful for them and recommend them anytime I can. Thank you Richardson Animal Hospital!
