How to Save Money at Animal Hospital of Denison
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 recently moved to Denison, and this place has been awesome! There are multiple vets working here from different areas depending on what day you go but all of them are fantastic! The prices are reasonable, and they always check to see if you can afford the service before performing it. They are upfront with all costs, and there is no shaming if it is not something you can afford/are interested in. Both of my dogs need very different approaches, and they have always been so patient learning how to handle them. I would recommend it to anyone in the Sherman/Denison area!!!

For the first time walking into a vet’s office I didn’t have to force my 1 year old mutt in and drag her by her leash. I opened the door and she let herself in as if we were visiting her grandparent’s house. I had two dogs with me so they put us in a room upon arrival to make it easier on myself while filling out their paper work. Since it was our first time someone came in and explained who they were and what they do as well as questions to know my dogs’ health and lifestyle. Dr. Warren came in and worked at my dogs’ pace to make sure they warmed up given prior notice of past bad experience. At check out, the staff made it known they saw my pets as members of my family and not a paycheck. The visits was the best my dogs have experienced and it was very fair priced. I will be going back and using Dr. Warren as my dogs’ primary care doctor from now on!

Absolutely the best vet experience I've ever had all the way around, every single time! We have brought several cats and our large breed dog here. The front office staff is incredibly helpful, responsive and friendly even when they are busy. The vets and technicians are so sweet to the animals, they dote on them and talk sweet to make them feel comfortable and are fast and effective with procedures. They have had many opportunities to talk us into unnecessary testing etc but never do - they will always lay out your options and give you the least invasive/ least expensive options available. Every appointment, I'm floored by their ethical pricing. I'm so grateful to have affordable and compassionate pet care available in our area!

I only called to check prices. I was informed they aren't taking new clients, but they were very helpful referring me to veterinarians and emergency pet hospitals in the area. They were even kind enough to give me their phone number.

After receiving a devastating diagnosis for our 7 year old Lab and attempting to proceed with comfort care we decided to get a second opinion from AHD. While the diagnosis remained the same the level of care and compassion greatly increased. From the first visit to the very last one the staff and Dr’s at AHD took such good care of my boy while also being patient and understanding with me. Dr Bradley got down on the floor with us to love on and comfort Remi in his last moments. I’ll never forget that and thank you is not enough. I wish I could remember the names of the technicians that helped us each time we came in so that I could thank them by name as well.
