How to Save Money at Trail Pet 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.

Trail Pet Hospital is the best veterinarian hospital I have ever encountered. The staff is very loving toward their patients and both Dr. Suh and Dr. Kim go the extra mile for their patients and pet parents. They possess excellent surgical surgical skills and try to keep the cost down as much as possible. I have been involved in animal rescue for 30+ years, fostering and adopting many difficult abuse cases with a large number of medical issues.

Dr. Suh and his staff were amazing!! He is caring and compassionate and I was so impressed with him and his staff. Our dog is 17 and she is struggling, but he was compassionate and explained her situation without being demeaning. He didn’t try to do tests that were unnecessary to just charge us and went beyond by helping us with understanding what she needed. He even cleaned her eyes for us. I honestly would’ve paid the bill twice for what he helped us with. He is the best vet I’ve ever experienced. I recommend him and his practice to everyone!

Came here with our foster dog. The rescue recommended this vet and we are very pleased with their care and attention to detail. The vet is very thorough and explained things in detail. The vet tech/nurse was extraordinary. She provided great insight. We have worked with multiple vets in the North Dallas area and this is by far the most confident experience.

I’ve given this place so many chances, and they continue to disappoint. If you are actually worried about your animal, find another vet!!! Last year I took my dog in for a routine check up and he died less than a week later, but if his issues had been caught at that check up he could have been treated sooner and survived. They told me he was totally happy and healthy, when really they only looked at him for 5 minutes. One of my moms cats died because they wouldn’t try a new treatment for her, just kept using the same stuff that wasn’t working. And this time, I took my cat in for urinary issues. Spent $500, including a $130 drop off fee for HALF AN HOUR while my mom was on her way, they sent us home with capsules, dry food, and a pheromone aroma thing saying it was likely just a UTI? I have since had to take him to another vet, who said he immediately needed to go to urgent care, and he is now still being treated for chronic kidney disease. Also called them several times today after I was told this morning I’d receive a call back about my cats blood results, and they just never called even though they knew how serious it was. Incredibly unprofessional. What a waste of time, money, and stress on the animals!! I would never recommend this place for anything seriously wrong with your babies

Dr Ha and his staff are amazing. He is compassionate, knowledgeable and so easy to talk to. He only recommends care that is necessary and gives his honest opinion without trying to sell you on unnecessary care and tests. He and his clinic are a hidden gem
