How to Save Money at Dogwood Animal 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.

I couldn’t be more grateful for Dogwood and everyone who worked there the morning of 9/26. My dog had a mass on her face that she cut open, I had called my primary vet multiple times at different locations and they sent me away or told me there was nothing they could do for me. They instructed me to wait until 1pm when urgent care opened (its was 8am) or until she stopped bleeding to bring her in but only with an appointment. I pleaded with them that my dog is bleeding in my car and I needed help, at least a to bandage the wound for now so she’s not bleeding everywhere but I received no help at all. Panicking I was driving all over Round Rock for someone to help me and I saw Dogwood and was instantly greeted by Sarah who was so sympathetic and understanding, she immediately started taking down info and let me know someone would be right with me. As I’m talking to the assistant about what’s going on my dog Zoe gave one good head shake and the mass went flying out. I was in full panic mode but the veterinarian came running in and was very reassuring that they would help us and for me not to worry they got this. Long story just a tad shorter, Zoe is doing amazing. I have since cancelled my memberships and any future appointments/surgeries with Thrive and Dogwood is now my primary vet clinic for both my dogs. Thank you so much for helping Zoe when everyone else was sending us away, everyone at Dogwood is extremely nice and professional. After telling my family our crazy morning they will also be going to Dogwood as well.

Dr. Riddick and her staff are amazing! They genuinely care about my fur babies and love on them anytime we go in. Im so glad I found her after going to lesser quality vets- I trust Dr. Riddick and her staff- they have a lot of knowledge and understanding of large dog breeds- and she is a Great Dane dog mom too. I not only get good medical advice but practical things for my animals as well. I’ve been going to her for a year now and I realized today that I haven’t done a review for them yet! You can tell the staff likes coming to work and have a passion for animals. You can tell with the employees that they are in a healthy work environment with good leadership and that translates over to the patients where it should be. If you want a great clinic this is it.

Every single person that works here cares deeply about animals and always treats my husband and I with kindness and a huge smile. They have taken care of my personal Danes and some of my fosters over the years and have always been so helpful, kind, and flexible. I have a very anxious boy and they ALWAYS take their time with him and are just the sweetest. I could not recommend them enough!!! They’re the best!

I recently got a dog and brought him here at the recommendation of my sister. (She has 5 dogs but moved out of state.) Nik was our vet technician. My sweet guy (a Jack Russell) was immediately crushing on her. He gladly accompanied her to get a little bloodwork and his nails trimmed. Lots of praise and a few treats, my JRT returned to relax for a bit before seeing the Doc. Since it was his 1st visit, they were able to request his previous records, which really helped. Now we have a schedule for boosters and future checkups. I had an excellent experience here. We have a Vet!! Now we can get on to important things in life like walks, cuddles, playtime, bellyrubs and naps.

The best clinic! I had the pleasure of taking my dog here during her last years, and they were always super kind and human. Also, their prices are very affordable, and the place is beautiful. Unfortunately, I had to put my baby down a few weeks ago, and all the staff were so kind, friendly, and supportive during the process. I’m more than grateful to have chosen this place because I know they treated my baby with lots of love, and that’s what’s most important. Thanks to all the clinic’s staff, Button and I really appreciated y’all.
