How to Save Money at Waco 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.

I really liked the staff, super friendly. Only reason I gave 3 stars was because I thought the pricing was high for a basic package for animal care. The biggest complaint was getting medication for flea and tick treatment. They have their own online store and I ordered some stuff, they call me because they wanted to make sure it was right. I could get topical or chewable, I got topical in my cart and they recommended chewable. Well I got it because it was cheaper for topical. After that I ended up looking on chewy website, and I got a significant cheaper price where as their online store didn’t offer any discounts. Every discount they gave me didn’t even work. So 2 days later the vet calls to make sure it’s what I wanted, when I actually ordered exactly what they recommended the first time. I felt pushed into a sales for their online store. I already spent a bunch of money at the vet itself but then I’m spending more on medications flea and tick treatment. So of course I’m going with the cheaper option. It like I get a call to make me feel bad for going to chewy instead of their store. That’s not ok. So here I am a month after the vet appt with no flea and tick treatment because anything I order they seem to go against it, because they are making money on the sale of a more expensive item. If they were not so pushy on the sales on what I wanted for MY animals, I would have given 5 stars. Nobody should be pushing you to only go through their store. Always get what is affordable and cheaper for the exact same product. Why spend more when u can get something cheaper somewhere else. Other than that very polite and kind with my animals. Sales are a whole different story. Everything I felt was an upsell. Even the appointment.
