How to Save Money at VCA Terrell Mill 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.

I had to take one of my cars for an exam only to find out that he needed to have all of his teeth extracted. They ran tests as well and discovered he was diabetic. It has been a very stressful time for me, but the staff at VCA have been so helpful and caring to me and Windu. They’ve answered all of my questions and have called to check in on Windu post surgery, they’ve explained the tests and did a great job with explaining discharge after surgery. They really care about the animals and it shows. They had the names of the animals they were seeing on the board.

I’ve been taking my fur baby to this location for the last few years (6-year old yorkie). We always have a good experience but today was exceptional. Ana was our vet assistant and was so great with my dog. He is well behaved but normally cries at the vet. He was calm, still (mostly lol) and quiet. She had a magic touch - she was amazing!! Thank you Ana! I also appreciated Dr. Patel taking the time to provide me additional information to care for my fur baby. They recommended a product but encouraged me to shop around for the best deal - that proved they really care and it’s not about making a sale. 10/10 - would recommend!

Pretty good but, unfortunately, my best experience was the first visit, and that Dr. (Preiss) isn't there anymore. I brought my senior pup in, and the next day she texted me - on her private cell phone - and asked how he was doing, with instructions to text her anytime with any questions. But, like I said she's no longer there. Calling in prescription refills is hit or miss- Twice I called one in and, after a few hours called to see if it was ready, and twice whoever answered the phone didn't enter it into the computer, so it definitely wasn't ready. This might seem rather minor, but there are meds that can cause major health issues if you run out or stop "cold turkey". Otherwise, pretty good. Edited: 23 September, 2023 I took my senior pup in for his annual. The staff-From the vet on down- was excellent- Friendly, helpful, attentive, and thorough- And someone called me the next morning to see how he was doing, which I appreciated. The next day, I had to pick up a refill, and it reminded me of another issue I have: They used to fill the liquid in see -through green bottles, but they changed to a black bottle that can't be seen through, even if it's held up to a light. I guess I'm supposed to do the math to figure out when I'm getting low, but not every dose will be the exact .5ml. Whoever made the decision to switch the bottles- probably to save a half cent per bottle- didn't bother to consider the possible risk to the pets. Charge me an extra dollar- but please give me a bottle I can see through.

Very friendly staff eager to bond with you and your pet. Extremely good at reminding patients when their appointment is and with whom. The atmosphere in the lobby is calm and comforting, with benches for animals to sit next to their humans. Doctors are professional and courteous to owners, being sure to answer all questions we might have (no matter how small). Thank you VCA Terrell Mill! Lilith and I love you
