How to Save Money at Animal Medical Center of Tyler

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.

We love AMC of Tyler for our dogs! Finding someone reliable to handle our rescue dog’s malnourishment, heartworms, and skin allergies was important to us. The reviews made this an easy choice. Ellen makes us feel at ease any time we call whether it is with a concern or schedule. Here is their before and after! Babe and Bear say “Thank You, Ellen”💓

We took our two mini schnauzers to Animal Medical Center last week to be groomed. I gave them a picture of what we would like and Emily did a great job on both even though one can be more difficult. Plus, as she cleaned/clipped the ears on the other, she noticed that they might be infected. After contacting me, the doctor checked and confirmed there was infection and we came home with two nicely groomed dogs and eardrops for one. The pricing was reasonable. Thank you Animal Medical Hospital for a positive experience!

Additionally, Emily always does the best job of grooming him! He absolutely adores her & always comes home happy & handsome. We love Animal Medical Center of Tyler!

AMC was our Bonnie’s vet for many years. They saw her through congestive heart failure, kidney disease, collapsing trachea, pancreatitis and all the regular checkups, vaccinations and grooming. Plus a couple events of chocolate consumption! Just a few short weeks ago it was time to say good bye to our sweet fur baby after almost 17 years. Dr. Cauthen made sure there was adequate time to walk us through that dark day. I’m sure one day we’ll be ready for another doggo. And we will absolutely take that doggo to AMC! Thank you, again, to the entire staff for handling sweet Bonnie Blue with dignity and love!

I had a very unusually medical case with my newest Great Dane puppy. Both Dr. Neely and Dr. Cauthen went above and beyond to ensure my Penny had the best treatment and best possible outcome! Penny went from being completely lame and unable to walk to walking and thriving again! Fantastic Veterinarians that truly listen and gather every detail possible in order to piece together the most difficult puzzles. The staff is just as great! From the front desk girls to the techs. They helped me every single time with my rather large puppy and toddler! All of my pets are now established at Animal Medical Center of Tyler and I could not be more happy the my experiences!
