How to Save Money at Lone Star Animal 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.

I love Dr. Moore! I have a problem child (a husky go figure) who constantly has fungal, bacterial, seizures, and other issues. She is always so conservative with her approach with treatment which I truly appreciate! My vet bills add up quickly with Boog so being in the care of a doctor who understands taking care of her clients from that angle is a breath of fresh air. I have taken my pups to many places over the years and Lone Star is by far our favorite. Chelsea, Megan, and the rest of Dr. Moore’s staff are always so warm and inviting (:

Dr. Moore is the kindest and most compassionate vet I’ve met. She does an incredible job of giving you as much or as little information as you need and recommending treatment and care that she would give to her own pets. Her staff is friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to do whatever it takes to make our pets comfortable. I can’t recommend Dr. Moore and Lone Star Animal Hospital enough, we are so fortunate to have found them!

Dr. Moore and her staff at Lonestar are the absolute best! She has gone above and beyond for both my dogs, especially for Dexter, who was diagnosed with bladder cancer. Dr. Moore always explains in careful detail what is happening/ next steps. She and her staff have been excellent at allowing us to see a holistic vet and coordinating with our oncologist for Dexter’s ongoing care. They genuinely care and often go above and beyond for their patients and their families. Dr Moore and her Lonestar Team provide service that is always outstanding, professional, and kind! If you love your pets like family, take them to Lonestar!

Dr. Moore and her team provide the best vet care you can have for your animals. We have been taking our 3 cats to her for a few years and have always had an outstanding experience. She helped us get our sweet boy Dane, who has chronic respiratory issues, onto a protocol that has made it possible for him to run about and play with his siblings. But today... well today nearly brought me to tears. Dane is sometime a bit naughty at the vet. He has been known to talk (ok growl) through the entire appointment and maybe throw a hiss or two into the mix. Today, we did a safe, fear free, no restraint exam, blood draw, cystocentesis (urine draw) and two vaccines. Dr. Moore and her tech were calm, considerate and did everything they could to make Dane comfortable and it was magic. Rather than hiding under the bed when we got home, he got his treat then laid down in the middle of the floor to take a bath. I am one happy mama! Thank you Dr. Moore and your team - you are the best!

We love Dr Moore! She’s taken such good care of our two small dachshunds over the last few years. Her prices are fair and she’s such a calm presence for the nervous pups. Plus the office is clean and tidy - always. We’re patients for life.
