How to Save Money at Liberal 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.

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.

The staff is very friendly and polite and they are very caring about my dog. And she likes them. Any time I have called on them for any questions they have been kind and helpful for whatever the situation is.

I never write bad reviews because things happen but my experience was unacceptable. Called on a sick kitten we had just adopted. The first words out of the dr.'s mouth...."she is probably going to die." No lead in and no compassion. After tells me that if I still need him, to call back tomorrow. I called back the next day and still havent heard back. There is a line between being honest and being compassionate. It is unacceptable to have a doctor with after hours emergency service who doesnt return phone calls.

Setting up the appointment the lady was very nice! My boy is stand-offish towards strangers and hates having his feet touched! He also has a history of seizures. When we arrived at the Liberal Animal Hospital, my boy was SO comfortable with the ladies and the environment he was in, he didn't even realize I wasn't handling him when they took him! Because my boy has a history of seizures, I called to check on how he had been. The lady was very nice and said I could call at anytime to ease my mind about my fur baby and said he was doing good! Thank you for being so kind and gentle to my skittish boy!

Dr Jones has always been very good to our animals. We had very poor treatment for our cat from another vet and scheduled an appointment. We came in early because we started to get worried and even though he was booked, he still made the time to help our cat. The rest of the staff is also very kind and welcoming

I called them for an emergency, 1 week later they still haven't called back. My sister's dog passed away about 1am May 21st. I called here first as they're her primary vet clinic. I left a voicemail regarding what to do with her body as my sister had already discussed end of life care with them, she was a 15 year old dog so those conversations had already come up. Be aware that they'll take your money and maybe even tend to your concerns during regular business hours, but after that you're on your own. It's insane that they still have not called back. So if you're looking for a caring vet clinic that will actually tend to you during and after hours call Compassionate Care Veterinary Clinic in Guymon 106 Jerry Street Dr. Mitchell was incredible to us. She took care of everything within the hour, she called back within 3 minutes of my voicemail. She was very caring and calming and didn't discuss payment until I brought it up. Dr. Mitchell's concern was having her little body taken care of after she passed away. My sister received her dog's remains within 3-4 days. Don't settle for terrible service just because you live in a small town. Guymon isn't that far either from Liberal so save yourself the headache and heartache and go straight to where your pets will be appropriately treated, no matter the time.
