How to Save Money at Blanchard 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 don't really feel they care about animals honestly. They don't give a personable vibe. Not one xray was taken. I was in the parking lot for over an hour waiting because they wouldn't let us in. But they got me seen the same day I called so I went. Edited 8/1/23: I went to another visit today for my dog's eye scratch. Different doc and different tech this time. It was so pleasant. They actually listened and explained things. They both treated my dog with love so I have a better feeling about them for this visit!

I left not understanding at all. They would only talk about the cost of everything but not explain anything. They got flustered when I asked questions and the vet instead of the assistant relaying messages would only come to talk to me after I acted a bit like a Karen. I promise I tried to stay nice. So I came home with a very sick cat covered in his own pee not knowing what to do, with 4 pills for vomiting (he threw up once) and 1/3 bottle of liquid antibiotics for $55.00. He spit up most of the liquid. My poor baby. Don’t know how to help unless I come up with hundreds for tests and tons of meds I don’t know how to give my cat. Sad, confused and not knowing how to help my Cat.

Worst vet ever. Spend a little more time and drive to OKC and find a vet that knows what they are doing. Took in my dog to have him fixed. Simple procedure. Picked him up and brought him home only to find out he was bleeding all over my floor. Not a couple drips literally all over and profusely. Took him immediately back to the vet office and the female vet there does nothing but take a quick look underneath my dog while he is standing up (you can not even really see anything examining him that way) and says he is fine and that the blood is normal so take him home. He came back home and after another 3 hours of continuous bleeding finally had to take him to the ER as the blood was not stopping (not talking about a little seeping from the wound but spilling out all over the floor and leaving a trail behind him as he walked). Vet at ER clearly stated that excessive bleeding that he had is not normal with such a simple procedure. Not sure if the female vet there just butchered my dog, was incompetent, or simply too lazy to do the job correctly. She had 2 chances to make this right and ignored the issue completely. Never take your animal to this clinic even for the simplest of problems or procedures. If you care about your pet you will take my warning seriously.
