How to Save Money at Veterinary Wellness Center of Little Elm
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.

Dr. Kingkaystone is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and warm. She takes her time with my two golden retrievers and goes above and beyond during visits and procedures. My oldest golden retriever had a mass removed from his mouth and Dr. Kingkaystone called the next day to check in on him, making sure he was back to his happy self! Every staff member at Veterinary Wellness Center is highly professional and caring. Highly recommend taking your pets here!

One of the best vets I’ve ever been to. I’ve tried several and none of them come close to how wonderful it is here. I take all my pets here and will continue to. My dog got diagnosed with diabetes and we thought we were going to lose him, but he is doing so much better since being treated here and all the staff was so kind. Dr. K is fantastic and tells you exactly what’s going on and how we can treat and help! I feel so safe with my pets in their care, they feel like family.

Overall the Vet Techs were dismissive, lacked expertise, had not looked at my kitten ‘s Vet records, were rude, and treated me with contempt. The ladies up front are terrific and very nice though. My newly adopted kitten had several visits here for shots, a spay, and follow ups, etc, because this was who the Vet Little Elm Animal Services used prior to my adopting her, and she had been very ill with several illnesses at the same time, including a virus, tapeworm, ear mites, and an ear yeast infection. Today I took her here for another shot, and I thought to also have her ears tested to make sure her ear yeast infection was gone. She did receive her shot, but they would not test or look in her ears to make sure the ear yeast infection was gone. The 2 vet assistants came in the exam room and told me the kitten needs to lose weight. I asked what she should weigh, and they said she should have gaine around 1 pound a month. She is almost 8 months old and weighed a little over 7 pounds, but she had just eaten. Her belly was distended and I mentioned that as soon as they walked in the room. I asked if she could have a medical issue causing the distention, because she had been so sick when I took her home after adoption. She was so sick this vet had me pick her up, because she was too sick to be spayed. They ignored me and insisted she was over weight and needed to go a dry food only high carb diet. I asked about her being a carnivore and the problems that carbs can cause in cats, and they had never heard of that. When I mentioned her prior illnesses, it was obvious that they had not even looked at her records. They kept insisting she was overweight and needed to go on a diet. But, they wouldn’t tell me what she should weigh or how much weight she should lose. They would not tell me how much high carb dry food to feed her. They just said read the bag. They would not give me any list of possible high carb dry foods that would meet their requirements. They did not take any of my questions seriously, and they treated me with contempt. Most vets will write a prescription for the special pet food for pets with issues. They did not address her distended belly. Update: I took her to Katy Trail Animal Hospital. Her belly distention had resolved itself without going in any high carb diet. I told them that Veterinary Wellness had told me that this kitten who was starved and emaciated when I adopted her was now overweight and needed to go on a high carb dry food diet. They examined her and told me she was absolutely not overweight and definitely not to put her on a high carb dry food only diet.

Do not trust these people. They will not hesitate to call the animal control or the cops if you don’t do as they say. They had our little dog taken away because we wouldn’t want them to treat her infected paw and wanted to take her to a better hospital. So they called the police. Nasty bunch of people.
