How to Save Money at Eddie Hudspeth DVM

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.

Covid protocols are so strict that there is no communicating with the actual vet. You are left guessing about how to care for your pets. They need a checklist or something to give pet owners about test results, any needed changes in diet, guidelines for new pet owners, etc. After my cats were neutered, I was given an Information sheet that pertained to dogs. I was not impressed. Terrible experience.

Honestly I feel like this place is just trying to take advantage of people and get as much money as they can out of all the people that are already struggling to keep their animals alive or well. I brought my dog in one day, it was $115 just for the exam. I was given a printout of how much it would cost for her to have some antibiotics and a shot, was also given paperwork on a skin condition. No info was given about her exam for a mammory tumor which was the reason I brought her in... Still I came back the next day for her shot and antibiotics. Today it's completely different people, everyone's acting like they don't know what I was told yesterday, gave me a print out with completely different prices wanting to charge me $100 extra for the same thing I was told yesterday. Then blamed it on "the new girl" and "she shouldn't have told me that"... I politely asked for my money and my dog and will never go back there again !!! Completely unprofessional, there is no communication whatsoever between the staff, information concerning my visit wasn't presented and the business isn't even accredited through the BBB. I'll make sure I go to Gordon's from now on !!!

Today was my first time going here and I’ve never been happier. My 6 month old cat went from being the most playful kitten to limping and not being able to walk recently. So I went to the vet, She was diagnosed, given medicine and a plan for the future. I’ve been home for a few hours and I feel like I got my cat back again. She’s been playing non stop and hasn’t been this happy in a long time. Thank you so much!! They were very professional, sweet, caring, and had reasonable pricing. They also confirmed several times about options and prices before doing anything.
