How to Save Money at The Veterinary Care Centers of Texas

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 loved our experience with this vet center. I called inquiring on cat neuters and was able to get an appointment for the neuter within 4 days. Prior places I called wanted to do multiple appointments or booked months out. They came to the car the get my cat and asked if I would like any add ons they offered. I thought it was great to be given options on helping with recovery or complications. I also got to speak to the doctor which was nice. Later through the day I received confirmation my cat was out of surgery and well and received an adorable picture. I went at my designated pick up time and was given aftercare instructions which I greatly appreciated as this is my first cat. A day later and he’s recovering nicely, I’m very impressed with their care for pets and their professionalism. Every employee I encountered was kind and helpful!

Priscilla, Katherine and Estrella are the most amazing Vet Techs there. They always make sure to be informative and answer any questions. They are extremely professional and sweet to my babies. Dr. Snyder is amazing as well, he's genuinely funny and he makes you feel welcomed and at ease, Mrs. Snyder makes the whole place feel better with her positive attitude, she makes you feel at home. I've been bringing my babies here for 4 years and they've never failed me when it comes to the care of my precious doggies. I wouldn't choose any other clinic for my pets needs. I appreciate you all, my babies love you, simply amazing.

I absolutely love this place, the ladies always try to make Bane feel comfortable even though he’s a scaredy-cat. The doctor made sure to take care of all of my concerns and they offer laser therapy finally!

Great and friendly staff. Dr. Snyder took the time to talk about the procedure beforehand even though the staff did the same. Very informative after procedure care instructions. Clean facility. Very comfortable taking my furry friends there for care. The only thing is the price, but I didn't do comparison shopping. It may have been average? Anyway, very happy and comfortable with everything else. Will be back when veterinary care is needed.
