How to Save Money at Animal Medical Center of Forney, A Thrive Pet Healthcare Partner
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.

They were so amazing today! Our new dog had an allergic reaction and they were able to see her within 30 mins of calling. They were so friendly with her and the vet was literally on the ground with her receiving all her kisses and loving it. They cured her while being friendly and compassionate. Really great experience and highly recommend!!

I had an appointment for my cat and brought quite a few questions with me. Aydra (I hope I'm spelling it correctly) and Dr. Goodwin were incredibly friendly, wonderful & gentle with my cat, and addressed each of my questions and concerns. It felt as though they truly cared for my cat and wanted the best for her. The prices are also very reasonable. Thank you both so much!

This vet clinic & all of their staff are so caring & so amazing at what they do! I switched my pups from another clinic in Forney to this one & the difference in care was night & day! My sister in law even had to take our pup for a visit here one day and told me how impressed she was! We feel seen & heard. So thankful for such a caring team.

I was referred to this veternarian clinic by my friend, Annetta Laye. My little Yorkie, Scarlett, had to have surgery to remove a large growth on her ear. Dr. Goodwin and her staff were so kind and professional. I am so pleased and Scarlett is doing wonderful.

I moved from out of state, & was incredibly nervous about finding a new vet. This entire facility is WONDERFUL. The doctors, the staff, cleanliness of the building, and the care they took when dealing with my German Shepherd was remarkable. I was so very pleased with everything. Jennifer was a total rockstar with Luka! THANK YOU!!!!
