How to Save Money at Thrive Pet Healthcare - Alamo Ranch

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 absolutely love this vet clinic! Michael is amazing! He is always in great spirits and he’s so sweet, gentle, and loving with my pups 🥰 You can tell he really cares and loves them, and wants to make them as comfortable as he can. Our pups can be a little shy, and nervous but Michael always knows how to calm their nerves. He’s very informative and answers any questions we have as well. Dr. Smith always takes the best care of our pups also. We wouldn’t want to take our pups anywhere else! 🩷

Took my new puppy here for the first time. They send reminder texts, but don’t blow up your phone. They let you in while your pet is getting examined. They were very thorough and nice. The technicians were amazing. I spoke with Dr. K and she answered my millions of questions and gave me great recommendations towards food. Prices were reasonable and inexpensive. I was in and out quickly, no long wait time. Highly recommend this vet practice!

My daughter went to Thrive with her puppy yesterday while I was at work. It was the first time she had been to the vet by herself;so she was very nervous. The Vet and technicians provided information to my daughter but also called provided me with information over the phone. They also made it easy for me to make the payment by providing a link to my phone. Lastly, I was sent 3 text asking how our pup was doing. Best service I have ever received for my pets! Thank you!!
