How to Save Money at Premier Vet Care 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.

5 stars! As a new pet owner, I was blown away by the exceptional service at Premier Vet Clinic. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. The staff took the time to ask about my cat's name, which showed they genuinely cared about my pet's well-being unlike the other places in the area. The appointment was scheduled promptly and the doctor took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. The pricing is very reasonable, and I'm confident I've found my go-to vet for all my pet's needs. If you're searching for a reliable and compassionate vet, look no further than Premier Vet Clinic!

We recently had to put our dog down. We moved out to Heath a couple of years ago, and making the drive to Rowlett was a little daunting. With that being said, the service we received when putting our dog down at Premier Vet was 10/10. First off, after calling 4-5 different places, no one would take us in last minute on a Saturday. Premier Vet knew our urgency as I was clearly upset and made it a point to get us in immediately, even though they had ZERO openings. The staff was the most caring staff ever. When we got there, they had a spot set up for my dog with blankets, etc. The doctor did an amazing job dealing with not only my pet but me as well. I have taken my other two dogs here for a couple of years but recently stopped due to the drive. That will no longer be the case. Premier Vet will be the only place I will ever take my dogs from here on out. They are amazing, and I honestly can't say enough about them. I've been to a handful of vets, and you will not beat the staff, the doctors, or the care at Premier Vet. I HIGHLY recommend them. They also sent a letter in the mail giving their condolences after we put our pup down. Good job, Premier Vet! Way to set the highest standard you can. Well done!

Madison was incredibly rude over the phone and hung up on me when I was trying to refill my dog's heart murmur medication. She insisted I was giving her the wrong name, even though the bottle clearly says 'Heart Medication.' She basically called me a liar. After 3 years of bringing my dog here, you've just lost a customer because of Madison’s attitude and my fur baby not getting his medicine. Here’s proof of the bottle. I’m thankful that when I called back, someone else answered and was able to refill my dog’s medication. However, I've never been treated like this before, especially when all I want is to keep my dog healthy and alive. I’m incredibly disappointed and, unfortunately, I’ll be looking for another vet. I hope I can get in contact with corporate or someone above Madison. Because this behavior is unacceptable and unprofessional.
