How to Save Money at Radford Hills Animal 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.
Reviews from Google
I highly recommend the staff and personnel of Radford Hills Animal Clinic in Abilene, Texas. I want to extend warmest thanks to Radford Hills Animal Clinic as well; they performed above and beyond. I was traveling through Abilene, stayed at a hotel, and found a feral cat. I took the cat into my life. Radford Hills Vet Clinic, with little notification, took my appointment, did not ask an invasive amount of financing questions due to my circumstances, and helped. Thank you so much to the staff and personnel here. I hope you continue to shine in care of animals and am grateful for you.

They were so kind, accommodating and compassionate in this process of the last week of my sweet little yorkie's 15 years

Professional, trustworthy, knowledgeable, efficient, expert surgical procedures, and quality care are what we consistently receive. Watching our animals interact with Dr. Leavell and his staff says it all! This team works well together to provide exceptional vet services!

I first brought my beloved kitty here in May 2020. She had stopped eating suddenly and was losing weight rapidly. She was 15 years old and up until that point was happy and healthy. After determining that the condition she had could not be cured, Dr. Leavell discussed with me at length about the options available for her. Ultimately, I felt she was too old and weak to go through anything exploratory and just wanted her to be as comfortable as possible until she passed. The treatments she received brought her back to the kitty I remember and gave me extra time I would not have otherwise had with her. Dr. Leavell and his staff were always available to me even when very busy and were always open and honest with me. The kindness and compassion they showed these past months and the day of her passing means more to me than I can say. This is the only place I would ever bring my fur babies. ❤

Excellent care even during Covid restrictions. Even though this clinic had never seen my 10 yo poodle they worked me in on a Friday afternoon since I thought something serious was going on with her. After the exam the Dr called to discuss her treatment plan. I felt very comfortable with his plan and the quality of care and highly recommend this clinic! Thank you for your excellent care!
