How to Save Money at West Side Veterinary Clinic

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.

They are truly skilled, compassionate and understanding here. They are also wonderful at explaining options, procedures and any potential risks to help pet owners make educated decisions.

I really cannot say enough good things about this place. The staff is incredible; kind, patient, knowledgeable. I was really scared when I brought our 12 yo domestic short hair kitty in because she’d lost some weight. Everyone was so kind to her and the vet even had her purring while he examined her. They were helpful and informative with their prognosis and I would highly recommend taking your animals here.

Dr Kim and her staff are amazing. Recently they were there for me when my beloved Tito passed away. They are so kind and loving. Thank you!

When our Hill Country getaway was interrupted by an apparent UTI in our senior dog, we looked to Google to see if we could find a nearby vet with good reviews. West Side was only 15-20 minutes away, and it sounded good. We were lucky that there was a mid-morning cancellation, and they were able to work us in. Dr. Warren met us at the car, ready to collect some urine to confirm our suspicion. They had gotten in touch with our regular vet and knew about our dog's background and history. After a few minutes she came in to confirm our suspicion with a good explanation and a photo from the microscope. She provided antibiotics and by the end of the day our dog was recovering well. We were so impressed with the clinic and staff. Dr. Warren and the team were real friendly and understanding. Dripping Springs is fortunate to have them, and we'd love to have them as our regular vet.

Wanted to find a Vet that was more one on one with my pets and I. My old place in town seemed more rush in and out and they missed a few things. WestSide is our new home!
