How to Save Money at Parkland Plaza Veterinary 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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.

Dr. Butler saved my kitty from excruciating pain and maybe his life on a Saturday when his regular vet refused to take him until the following Monday. From that day forward, Momo only saw Dr. Butler for all his care. 14 years later, Dr Butler was there on his last day, saving him from pain once again. I'm so grateful for all the years of attention and care Dr. Butler provided. He was always so easy to talk to, offering up his expertise but always listening to us. He really seemed to care about Momo beyond just his job. I can't thank him enough, my only regret is we won't see him now that we don't have a pet.

I take my cats here and the service is kind and welcoming. I had told them about one of my cats that passed and they sent me a very nice card to show their sympathy, very kind people!

Several years ago, I took my best friend here, to get his fur mats shaved. Blood work was done prior to the shave. I took him in at 8 AM. He did not come out of the anesthesia until 2 AM. The receptionist had to do it herself, because the doctors mother had died. The following day I had a cat with sores all over his body. When I called in to report the problem, the receptionist did not see a problem. She made a appointment for me a few days later. Of course blood had to be drawn again. It was NOW found, his liver was terrible. This was not noticed in the blood work from the previous day. I am rating this now, only because I have now heard, no animal should EVER be under for over 12 hours. IT WILL EFFECT THE LIVER! After all was said and done, my best friend died within the next 60 days. Not only did I lose my best friend, (my husband had just died as well) I also lost $4,000.00 on vet bills incurred after his shaving. I needed that money, but I needed my BEST friend more. I lost both of them! It still hurts today. I let my ONLY friend down. He trusted me.

Dr Butler is a great vet! He is knowledgeable and able to resolve things quickly. He knew how to take care of an issue with my 12 year old cat that other doctors were not able to identify. I am so thankful for him. He cares too!

This is the worst place ever. I would be extremely weary about taking your pup here. They do not tell you what your pet needs. I spent over $500 on my visit with them to find out 6 months later his shots are not even up to date. I should have known when Isae the 500lb vet and 300lb admin, if they do not take care of themselves how can I expect them to take care of my pup.
