How to Save Money at Hays Towne 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.

A review from an owners heart. Don't go to hays Towne veterinary hospital because they do not care for your animals like they should. They should have helped in alot of ways with my animal. My animal had anxiety and stress and was in bad health. They never cared enough to help my animal and refused help. I never had to go through that before at a previous vet that cared about animals. From what I have gone through with my animal they didn't take the opportunity to care. You will be better off finding a different vet that really cares for your animals as a number one priority and attentive to your animals.

I have been going to Dr Kerri for over 10 years and have always loved her service and the care she shows with my pets.. this last time I took my new adapted cat in and they wanted a sample of her poop. Ok, took it in and never heard anything.. I called to find out the results and the girl who answers the phone told me she has parasites but they don’t have the medicine to cure it.. Said she would call me when they get it in.. After a week I called back to see what was going on with the medicine, same girl told me they can’t get the medicine in but will contact me when they get a replacement.. two weeks later I still haven’t heard back so called Country Oaks Vet!! They said they have the medicine and don’t understand why Hayes wouldn’t have it.. the people at Country Oakes are more caring about your pets and are on top of it.. I always liked Dr Kerri but after this experience I won’t be back..

Dr Kari and Karen were wonderful to my dog and really looked him over. They spent a lot of time with him and came up with a viable plan for care.

Be careful: Called to ask how much it would be for a routine check up and shots, was given a price and scheduled an appt. The price "magically" tripled once there, and once we left over the next 4 days I saw my girl deteriorate. I asked if I could come in and see the vet and was told the next appt would be two weeks out, I explained that this was a "now" situation and asked for recommendations. The front desk told me they didn't have any suggestions for me and didn't know what I should do. I asked once again to speak to the vet and they said she was out of town but they would give me an appt in two weeks. My girl has never been sick like this and I could not believe how cold and uncaring the staff are. Dr.K is great, but her staff are both unhelpful and apparently have zero knowledge or are they willing to take the time to ask the vet for any help.

I took my dog to Hayes Towne last week. She’s deathly afraid of the Vet. The Dr and Vet Tech slowly calmed her as they got down on the floor by her slowly massaging her . Took quite awhile but they kept it up and she got her shots an not even a blink of her eye. She needed a muzzle as precaution then it was taken off she then came up to Dr and Tech still on the floor with her and she went up to both kisses the life out of them. What a great team there . I highly reccomend them as overly compassionate
