How to Save Money at Animal Health Center of Lampasas
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.

I am very hurt and disappointed by this facility. My husband took our dog for his first visit. He enjoyed the straightforwardness of the team. I went back with him the second time and was not impressed. I then took our cat without him. She was being hostile but the vet was so rough with all 3 pounds of her. When he gave her her shots he kept taking the needle in and out of her and even though he called someone in to help him, he would not give up any control. As soon as we got her home, I noticed she was limping. This continued on for roughly a week before I called for advice or an appointment. I explained what happened to the person who answered the phone. The vet then got on the line and was very confrontational. I explained to him that even if he refused to take accountability that my cat was still hurt and I needed either advice or an appointment. We showed up today and I already knew we were going to have issues. I understand that I would not let him use the bigger towel (I brought my own) because I believed that's one of the reasons why he hurt the cat in the first place. It was too big and bulky to feel her and how rough he was being with her. He also wanted one of his people to handle her since it would be a liability if I got hurt. I told him that she's my cat and my husband told them we would sign a liability waiver. I told him that I know and I apologize for not being as accommodating as he's like but he's hurt her before and refuses to acknowledge that and I'm unwilling to let it happen again. He told us he was pulling our records and we could go somewhere else. Honestly had he had ANY type of bedside manner or accountability I would've felt differently but I truly feel that it's a defect in his mentality. An older man who cannot take any sort of criticism or being challenged.

The staff is professional and friendly. The vet is very caring an attentive. We had used a vet in Copperas Cove but our cat wasn't improving after 1 visit our cat has shown great improvement. We are very satisfied an 😊 happy.

I’m traveling and my dog, Biscuit, who needed medical care. I’m so glad I chose this clinic. I was very impressed with the doctor. I felt he was thorough, right to the point, and knowledgeable. What also impressed me was his behavior with and focus on Biscuit. I knew he cared and wanted what was best for her.
