How to Save Money at Stonebrook Family Pet 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.

What an amazing visit for Poppie! Meeting Dr. Buffington and his staff for our first time was such a great experience. Everyone was so knowledgeable, and we felt right at home for Poppie's wellness visit. We highly recommend Stonebrook Family Pet Clinic!

I am new to Texas and I am so glad I found a wonderful veterinarian.. Dr. Buffington and staff made our first visit a wonderful experience. If you have a fur baby that you can trust I highly recommend Stonebrook Family Pet Clinic. 😺 That was from my first experience, since then I have been to Dr. Buffington a few more times for my “senior lady” I highly recommend Dr. B and staff .. I guarantee you will love it there for your pets. The staff is kind and knowledgeable and are extremely helpful. If you are looking for a wonderful Veterinarian for your pets, this is your place.

Have been dealing with Dr. Buffington and his staff for over 20 years, treating our golden retriever's and now a Golden doodle. . Can not say enough good thing about his practice. I highly recommend them to y'all. Give them a chance, you will not be disappointed.

We have been seeing Dr. Buffington since moving to Frisco in 2019 and have been so pleased with him and his staff and how they care for and take an interest in our pups. We have a senior Lab, (13!) and a nervous rescue Cattle Dog and they stayed in the kennels at Stonebrook while we went skiing. I felt so good about leaving them with this attentive staff who gave Major (Lab) all his medicines and watched out for his breathing issues, etc. When we picked up our dogs they were so happy, we could tell they had a great time. Also they sent us pics and gave us updates during their stay which was comforting! Highly recommend these folks! Excellent care, professional, understanding, patient, kind. Attached are some pictures of their stay. Woof Woof!

I can’t recommend Stonebrook family pet clinic enough! They have been consistently amazing with my anxious dog, Nova. The team’s compassion and expertise have always put both Nova and me at ease. I trust them completely with her care. 5 stars!
