How to Save on Veterinary Costs at ATX Animal Clinic

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

Consider pet insurance

Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

We first met Dr. Rob through a friend when we were seeking a second opinion for our beloved pup, Gohan. When the worst was confirmed, he showed us such compassion and understanding, guiding us gently through every option during one of the hardest moments of our lives. His kindness and empathy made an unbearable situation easier to face. Since then, we’ve brought our other dog, our fosters, and now our new cat, Poppi, to him. Dr. Rob is truly the best veterinarian we’ve ever known, a genuine blessing in our lives. We couldn’t have made it through that time without his care and support. I sing his praises every chance I get and really want people to know what an amazing clinic he runs!

I’ve been going to ATX Animal Clinic for over a decade, transitioning from the previous vet to Dr Rob during that time. They have cared for 3 of our cats and our dog (my sister also takes her two dogs here). I couldn’t recommend them more. The staff is friendly, Dr Rob is really informative and cares deeply for our pets. The office is always clean and inviting. While the standard/routine care is wonderful, the biggest impact this team has had on us is when we have had to say goodbye to our pets. The team is incredibly empathetic and kind, making the most difficult moment one that feels supportive and loving. We are grateful for their care and compassion and look forward to continuing to be a part of the ATX Animal Clinic family for many more decades!

Ten stars!!! Dr. Rob is absolutely the most caring and detailed vet that we have ever had! I could write a novel, but there’s not enough room here. If you’re looking for an honest, caring, educated veterinarian, look no further! Special shout out to Jenn for always comforting us in tough times.

I am a long-time fan of ATX Animal Clinic. I started here when it was Dr Harris. I wasn't sure about a new doctor, but Dr Rob won my very particular cat over at the time. Dr Rob and his staff were excellent, even in the end, when my old guy's life was at stake when he was sick and needed subcutaneous fluids for a while, since I've sent friends and my mom to Dr Rob and ATX Animal Clinic! After 6 years, my wife and I are back with our puppies, and ya know what? They are just as stellar as before. My mom still brings her dog here as well. Highly recommend! I was happy to see some of the same faces working there after 6 years. Says a lot! PS- incase you need more… the place is always clean and the staff very friendly.

Always super friendly staff. Always responsible prices. They aren’t scared of my bully chihuahua. They take very good care of your babies (pets). & I love that they were able to get me in ASAP without an emergency charge. 10/10 would recommend & definitely my vet for life regardless of the drive I have to make.
