How to Save Money at Deep Roots 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.

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.

Thank you all so much for taking care of my 2 pets that were sick this week. Marley is home and doing much better thanks to the care received by Deep Roots. Dr. Bernard took the time to explain everything in detail and how to move forward to have my pet healthy again. The whole team really cares and made me feel very grateful to have found this clinic. Thank you again!

Great place to bring your pets. The staff were very understanding and accommodating towards both me and my dog. The vet was thorough in diagnosis and made the long and short term treatment options clear. This will be the place I bring all of my pets while I live in the area.

If I could give this place and their staff a million stars I would. Staff was PHENOMENAL! From the very beginning of the entire process with Emily in the front desk, to Scarlett the vet tech, all the way to Dr. Bernard. Emily dealt with my mother despite her limited English with nothing but patience and kindness.She tried her best to schedule us in multiple times despite their packed schedule to get us in ASAP. To Dr. Bernard giving a thorough exam to our dog, listing all of the options available to treat our dog, super informative, detailed, extremely kind and gentle with our suffering dog. To Scarlett, our fave, who went over our options once again because she saw how conflicted we were when it came to making our final decision. Scarlett treated our doggo to some sweet treats that definitely made him feel both happy and spoiled before parting. My mother and I feel like they all were angels sent to help us go through the process of our putting our beloved 14yr old husky down. They allowed us to be present through the entire process of putting our dog down, they waited on our entire family to arrive from Austin to be present, they never rushed us despite having a packed schedule, they comforted us multiple times and reassured us we were making the right decision. As a family, we cannot stress how meaningful their service was to us in a time of extreme pain and vulnerability. They were so compassionate with our Yuma and so gentle with him as if they had known him forever and never treated him like he was just another customer. Moving forward we cannot see ourselves going back to our previous vet who had been treating our dog for many years or any other place that is not here. They have made new customers for a lifetime and will definitely get our recommendation wherever we go.We can't thank them all enough, especially Scarlett.

I had to take our kitty, Marlene to an emergency vet and Deep Roots was recommended. They were able to get me in the same day and unfortunately, Mar was in really bad shape after being attacked by another animal. I ultimately had to put Marlene down. Dr. Guzman and his staff were so kind and thoughtful during this process. I also recently got a condolence card from them and it was signed by all of the staff. They have definitely shown me how a veterinarian office should be!

I took my 4, almost 5 month kitten in today for his first appointment since I have had him. Right from when I walked in, the staff was very welcoming and happy to be of assistance. The vet and vet tech were so dedicated in making sure my little guy was not uncomfortable or having a bad experience. He loved the tech and the vet so much! They were happy to answer all my questions, no matter how silly. They offered me some great resources as I am a bit of a helicopter parents with my pets. They gave him plenty of treats to keep him happy and comfortable, even when giving his vaccines. They are very reasonably priced. The attention and dedication to my pet was amazing and I am very happy to have found such a great place for my little guy! Highly recommend for your precious fur babies !!!
