How to Save Money at The Corner Vet at Bellaire
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 took great care of our kitten! Opal was spayed for a reasonable price and the folks there are very nice. We will recommend them!

Great experience for my dog, who's not been much of a social butterfly. She's slowly getting back to her old trusting ways. The guys here did a great job with her and glad they didn't need to muzzle her! Great job! Thank you!

UPDATE: ***After going here for a couple of years, I still feel the same way! I even moved but I still go out of my way to go here. The staff is kind, caring and attentive and Dr. Tran is always so calm and compassionate. She is a great vet all around. They are always SO easy to reach too via phone and always ready to answer any and all questions. This is a great office that I still highly recommend. *** I have always had a great experience here. They are always very kind and professional and go out of their way to help in any way they can even when they really aren’t obligated to. I never feel like they are trying to overcharge me for services, they do what is necessary to keep your pets healthy and cared for and nothing more (unless you want it). Glad I found them!

I love this place! I recently got my cat neutered here and the staff is very friendly and patient when it came to my questions. On top of that they were very clear with the pricing when I asked and the nice receptionist/nurse/employee (I didn’t ask her name at the time I’m sorry) printed out different invoices for me to compare/contrast pricing. The doctor was also very nice to talk with. He assured me that my cat was ok and answered all my questions without rushing me or anything in that regard. Very professional and outstanding, you can tell he loves what he does because he will go into depth and explain different things which I respect. On the night before surgery, they made sure to call me and give me clear instructions for that. As well as the morning of the surgery, Cassandra (I believe her name was) gave me a few very simple forms to sign and called me to let me know everything was successful and to assure me that my cat was ok. Very clear instructions and very friendly. When I went to pick up my cat everything was so quick and they printed out easy instructions to follow for post-op. Also they assured me to call if I have any concerns. In the end I’m very happy to spend my money here, it is worth every penny because they will take care of your animals in the best way possible. Thank you corner vet staff you guys are awesome!!
