How to Save Money at Plainview 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.

Our 2 dogs been seeing Dr. D for a about 10 years. He is awesome, the staff there is also awesome. Frielndly, understanding, and very thorough when it comes to our pets. They all have great bedside manners which is huge too when it comes to 1 of our dogs, he is a bit frisky, and tries to bite them. God Bless Dr. D and his staff.

Killed my cat misdiagnosed my cat I told them she had crackling in her chest said chest was clear 1300 dollars later had to bring her to specialist around the block For another five hundred dollars Was told she was dying from heart failure and can hear the crackling right away!! she was suffering! Had to put her down I am beside myself and so angry at them!! very uncompassionate. Plainview hospital is! don't say hello when u walk in very unfre ndly so strange! He didnt listen to me! I am so disappointed in the dr. All about money unfortunately these days have to find a new vet hopefully someone who truly cares and doesn't see animals as a cash cow! So upset so sad so disappointed!!! My poor baby I will miss her so much 😢 💔

I was recommended by a neighbor to Plainview Animal Hospital, had to bring my cat in for ear issues. Dr D was amazing with him as well as the entire staff!!! He was thorough and compassionate, cleared up my kitty’s ear problems and treated us so kind. Very fairly priced and I’m so happy I brought him there!!! Five stars from this client!!!!
