How to Save Money at Sage Veterinary Imaging - Round Rock

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.

They were able to get us on short notice straight from the ER which was great! Everyone there was so professional and kind. We came in needing answers and feeling very anxious and worried about our puppy's health. The atmosphere of the office is very calm, and Dr. Ellis was absolutely amazing and talked us through everything that she saw on the scans. She also had some really great insight that the ER doc had not mentioned, to help get our little guy feeling better more quickly. For being the kind of place that you don't want to have to take your pet, they really do strive for everyone, human or pet, to have a positive experience and you can absolutely tell that they love animals and treat them with care. I hope we won't ever need to go back for illness or injury, but if we do I know my pups will be in great hands!

It's so scary knowing something is wrong with your beloved pet. The staff and vet at Sage showed compassion and kindness. I knew my little pooch was in good hands while he was there. Thank you!

Everybody was so nice, professional, and understanding. It’s always nerve racking to leave your baby with strangers, but they treated her like family and welcomed her with open arms. The testing didn’t take long at all to complete either. Thank you so much!

I understand cuts can happen when shaving, but I am disappointed on the amount of cuts and the blood on my pup’s fur when I picked him up. The biggest issue is the doctor. I am sure some of the doctors are fine in this facility, but the doctor who was communicating to us about my dog’s ultrasound report was either predatory on people who care about their pets or just not good at her job. After the ultrasound the Dr who called told us they saw an abnormal blood vessel, which could be a shunt, and they recommended a CT scan. Because of the severity of this claim we went ahead with the CT scan. After the CT scan they called saying everything looked fine and the abnormal vessel was just a twisted vein. All of this was great until the following day. Two Drs called us and told us there was some confusion and the ultrasound actually showed no issues, and the reason for the CT scan was to check for other issues. This is very different than “we see something wrong”! We might have held off and not done the CT scan and talk to our primary vet about next steps if this was the case. Because putting my dog into sleep when his liver enzymes(that’s the reason we went in for the ultrasound) are high was the last thing I wanted to do and my primary vet also was also recommending against doing it. Honestly, the whole thing felt predatory and like they were using my love for my pet against me and it really is them misleading me to get more scans than might have been necessary. Update: By the time I am going to post this review, I have not received the reports of ultrasound and CT scan that were promised 24h ago and the scans were done 48 hours ago. We were referred to this facility for an ultrasound, but they didn’t even tell our primary vet we also did a CT scan, not sure why they chose to not bring it up when they “highly recommended” us to go ahead with it. I really think this is a dishonest, predatory place, that is run by people who advocate for money, not pets.

This is a top-level imaging facility. I really can't say enough about the experience. The office is peaceful and clean, the staff are extremely professional and clearly love animals. Our cat was gently handled and seemed quite relaxed when we picked him up. They said he even used the kitty box, which is a great indication of how comfortable he was while in their care. We're so grateful to the Sage Team.
