How to Save Money at Parker County Veterinary Hospital

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.

Amazing staff with big hearts! After 14 years I had to say goodbye to my little furry tootsie roll... They were kind and understanding to me and gentle and friendly with my girl. I will forever hold a special place in my heart for these amazing people

I take my fur babies (Batman & Catwoman) to Parker County Veterinary Hospital. Amanda and the staff at Parker County is simply outstanding. They treaded my fur babies as if they were their babies. They were extremely friendly and professional and they took their time to make us feel very important. I highly recommend Parker County Veterinary Hospital. A mouth prior to me going to Parker County Veterinary Hospital. I had just got our 2 Boston Terrier puppies (Batman & Catwoman). They were only about 8 weeks old when I made an appointment at the Grote Veterinary Clinic. We have 4 acres and I wanted to make sure my fur babies got their required shots and vaccines. When I took my fur babies for their appointment. The staff was not very friendly and they put me and my fur babies in room. We were in this room for at least 20 minutes before the female veterinarian and or vet tech came into the room. She was very unfriendly and you could tell by her body language she had no desire to be there. She just looked at my fur babies and said they are still to young to get their vaccinations. I go to check out and they charge me $70.00 for doing absolutely nothing to my fur babies. I had taken my last fur baby that I use to have to them but they were much nicer back then and it was a different veterinarian. I was totally disappointed in how the veterinarian and the staff talked with me and how they treated my fur babies. I will NEVER go back to them again. I ended up taken my fur babies to Parker County Veterinary Hospital at 1724 Blair Dr. In Weatherford. The Parker County Veterinary Hospital staff was outstanding, professional and they treated my fur babies as if they were their babies. What is even nicer was the staff at Parker County didn’t act like they were put out by us being there, unlike the staff and vet at Grote Veterinary Clinic had treated us.

We have been using this vet for quite some time now, and it has been good, with absolutely no complaints. But recently we had to make a very tough discussion to put one of our fur babies down. They made it an important part of their scheduling. They made sure we were the only ones in the office. They made him so happy with lots of loving from all of the staff and treats out the wazoo. I dont think I would of found a better place to make this more special. It was already a hard decision but they made it a little easier with their support. Thank you to all of the staff for your support and kindness.
