How to Save Money at Daniels Parkway Animal 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.

After 13 years of searching for the right vet in Lee County, I stumbled upon this clinic by chance. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and keeps you informed throughout the process. They offer reasonable prices and provide excellent care. If you're looking for a great veterinary clinic, give them a try; you won't be disappointed. Thank you again for taking such good care of Pablo!

I’ve taken my girls here for 2 years after a bad experience. I have been very pleased with them especially Marlin. I do wish i would get the same doctor more often, it does seem like there’s someone new every time. But, all of them have been great. And I should tell you they are not cheap. But I did cheap once and was super unhappy. These girls are my babies, so, no cheap here. I would of done 4 stars for cost, but I’m rating the service here and that’s 5 for me.

Amber the receptionist is so sweet and truly displays excellent customer service. They had all the medications at hand, and they accept care credit if your bill is a bit over your out of pocket expenses. This is my first time to this location, and the doctor was very professional and knew where my cats issue was that I didn’t even know of. Gave me easy instructions on how to treatment should go, and demonstrated how to do it. My cat is 3 years old, will be coming back :)

And we have seen Dr. Hendon here before and he was very good with our lab. We just took her in for a toenail trim last Saturday snd it went so good! Sharon the receptionist came out to play with her which made our dog very happy. Then the technician Marlin came out and immediately made friends with her. They took her back for the toenail trim and it went very smoothly! We were so pleased with the service! And the caring considerate manners of the staff! Highly recommend them!

Overall Summary: great service and team, but pricey and not much clarity or consultation Very good team all around, from the receptionist, especially the tech, and our doctor. Our cat Dante was not eating very much no matter what food we bought him and was occasionally vomiting for a while and this was causing growing concern. So we made an appointment and took him in the same day. They gave him antibiotics, an anti-vomiting shot, did a few more tests and took his blood work. Then gave us some wet food tube treats to try, which he actually devoured. First thing the next morning they called and we learned his blood work was perfect and no other issues to his health, so apparently he is just a picky eater. We got a recommendation to mix wet food treats with his kibble which we will try. Dante will not eat any canned food but considering how much he loved the treats this might work. Now to the critical side, our total bill was $452, which included almost $200 for an antibiotic and anti vomiting shot which I don't think was necessary. Considering our cat was not in an urgent situation I felt a little blindsided by such a bill. I wish there was more clarity about what they wanted to do, what the biggest concerns were, and what the costs would be. Rather, they simply told us what they would do and we went along with it, and received a fat bill at the end. Now, I will be very hesitant to bring a cat into the vet unless the situation is urgent, or I will have to be painstaking about asking what the charges will be. I suggest someone planning to take their pet in ask a lot of questions about what they will be doing and charging for to avoid being surprised like I was.
