How to Save Money at Brookhollow Veterinary 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.

Hopefully you don't go through what I am going through with this awful facility. My friends mom had to go to a nursing home and nobody would or could care for her old one eyed dog Freckles. I took on the task because Letty Paterson is a sweet old lady and she loves Freckles and I'm going to try to take care of her. Fast forward a couple years and I get laid off. I can't really afford the 110 mile drive to Palestine and if I got there I just ain't got a hundred bucks for the visit. But I have 25 dollars to order the prednisone on chewy. I have that and that is what this vet has prescribed freckles for 6 years now. But they won't fill it. The poor dog is scratching her hair off and all I can afford is the medicine but that isn't good enough for these extortionists. They won't do a zoom meeting or anything. I must drive there 110 miles and pay the extortion fee or freckles scratches herself to death. Shame on these wicked people.

The people at this clinic are a blessing. The girlie in the attached photo had been hit by a car. They have taken care of her beautifully. Dr. Morton has saved this 3 yo shepherd/lab ability to walk while working with me financially. These people are heroes to my family for saving our girl and helping maintain a high quality of life for her.

Words cannot express how much I love Brookhollow. From their compassion when losing my fur son to going above and beyond when boarding my fur baby, I will never trust anyone else!

The staff at Brookhollow always tried to take care of my little girl in her last years, worked with us to make sure she was stressed as little as possible, and showed us the appropriate compassion. People like Dr. Swanberg, Lindsey, Ashley, Jessica and Jaci go above and beyond to take care of our babies and keep us coming back despite living about an hour away now. They’re not just good at their jobs but good people. Dr. Swanberg helped us say goodbye to Lily on May 31st after 15 beautiful years. Because of her, Lily got to cross over at home, peacefully, rocking on her screened-in porch in the sunbeams, sitting on my lap and listening to the birds—her favorite place to be. She was surrounded by her 7 best people who had spent the day showing her all kinds of love. Because we noticed she was suddenly getting worse right away and because of the treatment she received at Brookhollow that morning, she never had to endure a truly bad day or suffer. She even drank and ate her favorite food once she got home that morning, and sprawled out on her side all comfy again. As someone who loved my cat more than I’ve ever loved anything, I always knew I would need to consider the advice of an objective third party to know when it was time to say goodbye. We chose to take all her future pain onto ourselves so that she would never have to endure it. It was the hardest decision we ever made, but we made it for her, and I appreciate the help in reaching the right decision. We’re grateful for everything Brookhollow has done for us and for our little girl, and for the gift of the best last day possible for our best friend. We’ll continue bringing our pets here because we know they’re in great hands.

They take good care of my Dad's dog Spartacus. My dad fell, and we had to emergency board Spartacus they were able to get him in as a last resort. We really appreciate the help and service they provide.
