How to Save Money at CityVet - Preston Park

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.

My little newly adopted Wheaton Terrier has had very traumatizing vet and groomers visits so we have been very cautious of where we take him. My husband and I could not be any happier with the service we received. Dr. Tucker is outstanding and was patient through all our questions as first time dog owners. Jessica the groomer was amazing, patient and kind with our little anxious boy. All the front staff and techs were friendly and amazing! This will be our vet for life and we will recommend to all who need one!!!

Dr. Tucker is a great veterinarian. He spends extra time with his patients, and is excellent at communicating his diagnostic impression and treatment plan even with complex problems. His staff reflects his professional and personable nature. They are friendly, and I never feel rushed when I bring our dog for a visit. The groomers do an excellent job. Jenny, his assistant is wonderful. I’ve boarded my dog several times and feel confident that he is well cared for. My wife Debbie and I highly recommend CityVet-Preston Park to anyone looking for a top notch veterinary care.

City Vet Experience People love their pets as if they are their own children. So, finding a good vet you can trust to treat your fur baby, and especially someone, who will not take advantage of your pocketbook. Also, my husband and I have been searching for a vet who would be comfortable with our two big monsters, their breed called “Mastadors”. One weighs 169lbs and the other weighs 196lbs. Most vets were intimidated by these two gentle giants. After trying five different vets, we found our doctor! We highly recommend Dr. Tucker at City Vet in Plano, Texas. He takes the time to consult with the pet owner, takes the time to answer any questions or concerns one may have about their animal, he is cost conscious and tries to recommend the lowest and best route possible to treat your baby. He is not afraid of my two knuckleheads and the staff at the clinic make you feel as if you are part of their family. We are currently seeing Dr. Tucker who recently performed a 3-hour surgery on our dog Bodabear. Bo is on the way to recovery and Dr. Tucker has been very attentive to us and Bo. Calling to check how he is doing etc., We are giving City Vet a FIVE STAR REVIEW!

My cat had an issue that I needed to get your looked at for…emergency vet visits aren’t in the regular budget…from the time I called and scheduled until we walked out it was the BEST! Staff is super friendly! Didn’t try to sell extra services and communicated the entire time! Dr Ekols was great and told me how sweet my grumpy cat was! I’d give 10 stars if I could! Thank you!

Dr Tucker + team are FANTASTIC. Denise and Krysteen are so good at filling in for me and taking care of Tommy Petty while he is at the vet to visit them. Best veterinarian team I’ve ever had the pleasure to bring my baby to. Would recommend Dr Tucker to anyone looking for a new doc. The front desk team (Cameron and Emily) are super helpful as well, helping me to schedule visits, pick up meds and communicate for me when Dr Tucker is helping other furrballs. 10/10 highly recommend ❤️🐱
