How to Save Money at Reata Equine 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.

My best show mare had an abscess in her eye. The veterinarians and staff at Reata took amazing care of her. Dr. Mary Bumgarner is a maticulous, caring and godly doctor. Taking time to discuss the care and treatment plans with myself and the opthomilogists at Texas A and M. She has been a god send. Bless to have her brought into my mares care.

Wonderful and kind staff. My regular vet was unavailable and recommended Reata when my old horse was colicking. I called and was helped by Janna/Janet (I hope I'm close, because she was wonderful). Even though I was not an existing client, she bent over backwards to help and comfort me. Dr Lorenz (again I really hope that's right, she was also amazing), came out quickly. She did everything she could to help Roo feel better. I absolutely loved her, and I felt very confident in her abilities. I can't recommend this practice enough. Every single person I dealt with from first call to paying the bill was absolutely wonderful. I'm delighted to have found this practice, and so happy Dr Wynn recommended them.

I cannot recommend Reata enough. Our relationship with their practice started 2 years ago with an emergency when our regular vet couldn't come out and I am SO glad Dr. Sutherland was able to help us that day. I have seen 2 of their vets multiple times and have always been treated with dignity and respect. Every employee we have had the pleasure of encountering has been kind, friendly, and welcoming. They are honest, professional, encouraging, understanding, and knowledgable. I've been through lots of vets during my time as a horse owner and will be a Reata client for life. They are the BEST.
