How to Save Money at Modern Animal

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.

Getting 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 recently took my pups to Modern Animal at Lakewood and had an amazing experience each time. The customer service is excellent and the facility is so clean, clutter free and calming which is great for anxiety ridden pets and pet parents. Alex and the vet took such care of my pup Scrappy and answered questions for my husband and I alleviating our anxiety. Thank you so much for creating a new way for pet care in Dallas!

We absolutely love Modern Animal! We have had to come in about 6 times this year, every time is a wonderful experience. All employees ant this location are kind and super caring, making every appointment comfortable for Cowboy and Mitski. Alex always goes above and beyond to accommodate us and the cats love him! Don’t be discouraged by the new modern aesthetic, they have the same warmth of a family owned business, they always remember us and really satisfy every desire I have in a vet! The love and positivity are the main reasons we will be Modern Animal clients forever! Thank you for having such fantastic company culture 🫶🏻

My cat has never felt more comfortable for a vet check-up ever. He usually gets so stressed that it seems impossible to perform tests on him. But at Modern Animal Lakewood,he didn't hiss at all and we were even able to get all vaccines and perform a blood test to him!Thanks to all the loving staff and doctors to make him feel home. They are so gentle and loving!Also the price for this place is very upfront and reasonable. They have three-year rabies so that your pet won't need to worry for three years. High-end environment,loving staff and great price. Highly recommended!

Love this place. They offered me coffee at the door. Ensured the lobby was clear for my reactive dog. They did the entire visit in the room with us which I loved. The staff is incredibly sweet, professional and helpful. We can’t wait to go back! We can’t say that about any other Vet we’ve visited.

Everyone at Modern Animal was so nice, and caring, and seemed to genuinely enjoy what they do. But Alex at Modern Animal is by far the most caring and attentive tech I have ever encountered. He made my visit so easy for me, considering I have two fairly large dogs (one of which is still a puppy so he was rambunctious) he made sure I, as well as my boys, were comfortable the whole time. All other vets I have been to, when it came time for shots or meds, they would take my boys to the back and do it there. I could almost always hear them whining and/or yelping and it always ate me up inside. Alex asked if I would like to stay in the room during their shots and that was just amazing for me. He brought everything in and gave the medicine and shots right there with me present so there was absolutely zero added stress to my boys. When he trimmed their nails, there was no holding them down or muzzling them or any stress to it. He had another tech come in to assist and they actually use the little peanut butter lick pads while they trim their nails! I have another very fearful/pretty aggressive dog at home that I DREAD taking to the vet because he gets so stressed and scared. After todays visit I will 100% be bringing him here for everything. I am so grateful Modern Animal has opened up here in Dallas and I am so happy I gave them a chance. Now vet visits wont be nearly as stressful for me or my boys!
