How to Save Money at Lake Worth Animal 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.

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.

These people are the sweetest, kindest souls. We had to bring my 13 year old German shepherd, Venus, in to have her put down as she could barely get around anymore due to painful arthritis. The staff at Lake Worth Animal Clinic was so kind and gentle with her (and with us, quite frankly) that I don't know that I would trust anyone else to help my pets out in their last moments. They took their time. The vet sat on the floor with us. She let Venus lay her head on her all the way until it was over, and then she placed her head ever so gently on the blanket. She let us know that we could take as long as we wanted/needed with Venus and that there was no rush for us to leave, which felt comforting because it gave us time to grieve and say our goodbyes, remove her collar, etc. Like I said, we were all treated so respectfully - even Venus in her last moments. Love this staff.

We've been using Lake Worth Animal Clinic since we adopted our first puppy (about 3-4 years ago). They've always been pretty good about getting us in for an appt when needed for minor medical issues, and had great service. Very decently priced for those minor issues, and a quick in an out visit. This most recent array of visits have been troubling. Our GS lost a toenail and had an exposed quick, which got infected badly. We took her to the vet and the visit was fine, no issues. They got us antibiotics and treated her. Within the next month, she lost another toenail on the same foot, and had 2 others that were barely hanging on, which also got infected. We took her back and the vet was not going to remove her barely hanging on toenails, which were causing her great discomfort due to rubbing against the quick. We had to ask the vet to come back to the room and take another look to consider removing them. He finally agreed to remove one of the nails, keeping the other one there. Mind you, by this point, she only had one nail remaining on that foot. The others (including the dewclaw), had all fallen off/were removed. We were concerned that something else was going on, due to multiple nails falling off. And, when we trimmed her nails that week before taking her back, we saw pus coming out from another paw's nail. We brought our concerns to the dr, who stated that "if it happens again, we will consider something else going on". She's already lost 4 nails by this point, what do you mean?? lol. Well, we took her home with the antibiotics, and those nails seemed to be healing fine. Now, fast forward about 2 weeks, a nail on her back foot is infected. So now, instead of having answers last time we took her, we have to pay for ANOTHER visit. We are definitely finding a better place to take her going forward. We need answers to find out what kind of chronic condition she has. Just to be clear, the other staff were exceptional. They are very kind and show compassion, and were on our side when we questioned the vet.

On the 1st visit for my kitten I was welcomed and treated as if he was as important as a long time patient. After just the 1 visit he's doing wonderful. I appreciate so much the kindness and expertise we received.

Friendly staff, but if ur dog has allergy troubles they’re going to charge U treatment by the pound.. so if U have a heavy dog U pay more more for allergy treatments. 150$ treatment vs the 40$ treatment at the vet in azle? This place just wants money.
