How to Save Money at Barfield 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.

Scared lil pitty. I love that this place is pitbull friendly. As long as the handler has common sense and makes sure to wait to go in till they are ready for u. Makes everything easier for everyone and other patient dogs. Can be stressful. I also bring the muzzle in case. So please be mindful. Ty

My fur babies come here when they need care. My frenchie needed a special orthopedic surgery done that could not be performed there and Dr. Matt Honey made multiple calls and helped me find a surgeon to make sure she got taken care of. Barfield is a clean, good, honest and mostly affordable place to take your fur babies. Your pets will be in good hands with Dr.Matt Honey.

My family has been going here for years. Super fast, friendly, and knowledgeable. And even though Ozwald here is implying they're very mean, he was just being shy. He started talking immediately after this was taken.

We tried Barfield Animal Hospital at the recommendation of a friend. Based on past traumatic vet experiences at a practice that I will leave unnamed, my dog as developed extreme anxiety about being at the vet. This is already in addition to anxiety issues she has from past abuse prior to her rescue. Yesterday, we saw Dr. Barker for my dog’s annual wellness visit. She was shaking in fear as we checked in at the front desk but had a wagging tail by the middle of the visit thanks to the kindness and professionalism of the staff! In addition to this, Dr. Barker took time to explain the details about the care my dog received yesterday afternoon. I cannot speak highly enough about the experience they provided for my pet yesterday. While the bill was a little more than it was at our previous vets office, it was well worth it for the level of care we received, and building positive vet experiences is priceless to me in order to help reduce my dog’s anxiety about future visits. We will certainly be back for all of my pet’s future care!

Excellent services! Fair and reasonable prices. My dog Stella would have died if it were not for Barfield Animal Hospital prioritizing her life saving surgery. Dr. Honey, his vet tech Sam were amazing as well as the rest of the staff. I'm so very grateful for them all.
