How to Save Money at Bee Creek Veterinary 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.

The staff was so warm and welcoming! My special needs cat was very comfortable at this clinic compared to the other one's I've taken her to. I was recommended here by an old coworker of mine and I will definitely be recommending my friends and family to Bee Creek Veterinary Hospital! c:

When we showed up to our scheduled appointment we were rudely told the appointment wasn’t put in the system. Even with email proof, they wouldn’t honor their commitment. We had to take off work and drive 40 mins for nothing. Tonya, the front desk lady, called someone “retarded” when we walked in which is really disturbing that they would say that about someone. Tonya also never knows what she’s doing, and openly talks bad about the other employees in front of us. If you’re looking for a place to take your fur babies, skip this one. All my pets will be going to Bryan Animal Clinic.

I've been using Bee Creek now for 19 years. They cared for my beloved kitty for her 18 years, three pups that have since passed on, and my current senior girl. Dr. Stiles was a wonderful vet, great about explaining things, not always going for the most expensive options, and being honest about when it was time to let them go. When it was time, she was wonderful about scheduling it so there was no one else around to give me privacy to grieve and hold my babies while they went. When she announced her retirement and selling of the practice, I was worried I'd be losing a great vet and have to find a new one, but Dr. Britton has been just as wonderful as Dr. Stiles was. She has the same warmth and compassion, and I soon understood why Dr. Stiles chose to sell the practice to her. She is also great about answering questions and explaining things and remembers her patients well. As a bonus, Dr. Britton doesn't have the same hatred of computers, so that side of things is now modernized. :-D It's a smaller practice, and the remodeled house it's located in may not give off the best impression, but don't let appearances fool you. The care is top notch and your furbabies will be well cared for. You won't feel talked down to or like expensive procedures are recommended just to get your money. Dr. Britton will patiently explain things until you get it without making you feel like an idiot. Oh, they also have a mobile vet service, so when it was my kitty's time, they were able to come to the house so she could pass in the only place she knew. I have no doubt in my mind that Dr Britton and Dr Wheems have the same devotion and love for animals that Dr Stiles did :-) I've also used them for boarding over the years, and my girls have always come back happy and well cared for.

My dog got hit by a car the night before thanksgiving. I took him to an emergency vet in Austin that night. But I needed to take him to a primary vet to get stitches. Took him to Bee Creek and he didn’t get his stitches. They wanted to do it 3 days later but when I picked him up from Bee Creek the first time they didn’t give him stitches his bandages were already coming off his legs and he was covered in blood, the vet tech wouldn’t wrap him up again and told me to come back in the morning so the vet can. How do you not know how to wrap a dogs legs real quick? I had to do it myself and took him to a vet back home in Katy the next day and they gave him staples to save us money. Why was that never an option in the first place?? Bee creek also wanted to give him the stitches under anesthesia and that would have been a lot more money and the reasoning is because he’s a hyper dog, okay? you’re a vet how do you not know how to deal with a 1 year old puppy. My vet in Katy gave him staples in 2 minutes without any sedation.
