How to Save Money at I-20 Animal Medical Center
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 just want to give a huge shout out to everyone and all that helped me and my poor puppy. I bought a dog that had already caught the Parvovirus. Me and my family were devastated. As soon as I found out he had parvo I rushed him to I-20 ER immediately. They were excellent and put us right in an exam room so we could get him checked immediately. We did the outpatient treatment on him. It worked fabulous and bounced back in 2 days. By the 3rd day he was better than ever. After he was checked and confirmed all good they sent us home with more meds to make sure he would continue to progress. Of course during this whole time we showered our dog with nothing but love letting him know that we need him and he has to pull through. I can’t thank I-20 ER enough for helping keeping our boy alive. He was literally dying in my arms. They are a great group of people that really care about all our fur babies. Again THANK YOU!!! I-20 ER from my family and me.

We have had to delay dentistry for our cat after he had a hepatic lipidosis scare last Fall. He's overweight and although he's on a weight loss plan, he's still high risk for anesthesia. This first visit here, before dental surgery with Dr. Bloom, was specifically for a physical with an I-20 veterinarian, Dr.Billen. Dr. Billen was terrific. I was already prepared for an expensive visit as our vet had indicated that they would be drawing extensive blood work and doing x-rays pre-op. Dr. Billen explained everything thoroughly though. Ultimately, we were told that our furry family member is healthier than we are except for his teeth and his weight. Well worth knowing and paying for and being assured that he's ready for surgery. Our bill? $743.25. Dr. Billen called us when the lab results came in and answered any other questions we had. Staff were enthusiastic and found a wagon to put our cat carrier in to roll in the big guy. As they say, I would totally recommend for these types of services.

Our older dog was in an accident and we took him to I20 Animal Medical Center. They immediately took him from me when I walked in the door. After the exam and X-rays, I met with Dr. Welch. She explained everything to me thoroughly. Our dog had to stay in the ER one night then I was able to pick him up. I was given medication and instructions that the ER tech went over with me first. Thank you to all the staff for a great job!!!

Thank You so Much for your help! Especially when another emergency hospital wouldn’t. Y’all were so kind and rushed to helped as soon as we walked in the door and rushed him to the back straight away. The wait was minimal. And the Dr’s were on target. We were there maybe an hr. Great Job guys. If I need you again I will surly come back. Thanks. Bunch for taking care of pup! Update: I just wanted to add. My pup had one eye moving to the right and his mouth was drooping on the right side. His gum was on the outside of his lip. Then he couldn’t stand on his own. Unbeknownst to us at the time he was having a stroke. We found this out going to our Vet back home. Strokes seem to be rare in pups so we didn’t catch it. He is blind in one eyes but the paralyzation seems to be correcting itself a little. His right eye won’t blink so I have to put ointment in it throughout the day but other than that he is just fine. God is so Good! Update my poor baby was having a stroke. I wish we knew at the time. But how could we.
