How to Save Money at Broadmoor 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.

They’re nice and accommodating to walk ins. However, there needs to be better communication with pricing. I was told that it would be $60 to get my dog his heart warm injection (heart guard.) I didn’t know that it would be $110 for dogs over 50 pounds. They weighed my dog and they should of said “because he weighs more now, it will actually be $100 and not $60.” I go to check out and explain this to them. They allowed me to pay with the $60 (only because I wouldn’t pay a dime more because if I’m told something I stick to it.) The process was quick, but y’all have to be better with communication and pricing.

Great staff, very informative and caring vet and techs. Dr. Wade is one of my favorite veterinarians I've had the pleasure of dealing with in my years of being a pet owner. She is patient, kind and understanding. She and her techs keep you updated, informed and comforted me when our appointment took a turn. I trust my animals with them and the cherry on top is that their prices are VERY fair. I'm so thankful I found them and made the switch!

Took my cat. The cat has been seen by two different vets. They can't decide what is wrong with the cat. They require several hundred dollars for a biopsy of her nose. By the time the vets determine what the cure or no cure, I will have spent $500.

This vet clinic used to be so good. The receptionists are frequently rude (Becky?) and the techs fail to update clients on pricing changes/inconsistencies.
