How to Save Money at Republic Veterinary Hospital

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.

Dr. Murphree went above and beyond to get our dogs eye issues taken care of. Also, the front desk staff are very caring as well. Thank you for everything you have done for our animals over the years.

Dr M is truly the best Vet Doc we have experienced in Texas. Her compassion is for those with paws, claws, feet, or more. We cherish Republic Veterinary for their great care of our fur babies and beyond!

Dr. Murphree has been awesome. I have been fortunate enough to have some great vets in my years of pet ownership. And Dr. Murphree is at the top of that list.

In May 2021 I got a call from my husband saying our puppy Macho jumped off the kitchen table, he had been climbing unto the table for like a week at that point. My husband started noticing he wasn't moving so he took him to Republic Vet, with Xray they told us he had dislocated his hip and fractured his leg. Machos leg is now healed and we had great service from this hospital, they were always calling to remind us of appointments, I felt the love at the hospital as they always greeted Macho and told us how good he was. 😀 thank you for taking care of my baby.

This place is no help! From giving us the run around by not providing clear instructions on what needed to be done for our pet, not being able to diagnose our pet, and us having to figure out basically everything! She wanted no part in helping us. AVOID this place at all costs.
