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 found DR Katie and Dr Benji in 2024. They made emergency trips to Bandera. Separately on two occasions in spring 2024 when our mare suffered a colic. Dr. Bengi suggested treating Lola for ulcers and we did plus added extra electrolytes throughout summer hot months. Lola made a full recovery and is thriving. April 2026 we took Lola and our other mare Luna to see Dr. Benji. We trust Dr. Benji. His experience and his approach to helping our horses is compassionate and reasonable.

My dog was injured and other vets couldn't see him until next week. Dr. Alldredge got him in same day. Great people.

Just found this vet, needed our dog looked at, turned out she had a serious situation, requiring surgery.They were in touch all throughout the day, calls, texts and pictures. Very impressed with how they handled everything. Thank you!

Our GSD Stella was feeling under the weather. Being a first time patient I was amazed they saw our Stella that day. Dr. Katie and Judy have taken such good care of Stella and us for that matter. Super grateful, we know our Stella is in the best hands. All four of our fur babies have found their forever Veterinary.

Finding the best vet is just like finding the best primary care doctor: it's important and very personal. I've had many pets and I've moved plenty over the years, so I've experienced the good, the bad, and the excellent. Alldredge Vet is and will be our "forever" vet for our fur babies! Dr. Benji and Dr. Katie are excellent, as are Beth and Judy; everyone is like an extended family loving your pets almost as much as you do! The clinic is quaint, big enough to do what's needed (full-service, including surgeries); too small to accommodate others... So you wait outside until it's your turn. They have a clean porta potty available if needed (it's clean - I used it!). If any of this turns you off, then look elsewhere. Personally, I prefer excellence for my fur babies, and I don't care about the country-nature of the waiting area! I greatly appreciated learning about the different ways to address heartworm and flea prevention: from cost differences to how often they need to be administered - I chose the method that was best for us. (Regretfully angry from other vet experiences that offered only 1 or 2 options as "this is how WE do it"). From making appointments and reception, to talking with the staff & doc, to the updates (post surgery) and check-ins after, and the overall care and recommendations, and to the cost/payments: all 5 stars! Alldredge Vet also does house calls! My first experience using Alldredge was sadly to help our senior dog cross the Rainbow Bridge. It was "time" (as she stopped eating and could no longer walk without assistance), and I wanted her to pass in the comfort of home. OMG, I didn't expect a eulogy, but Dr. Benji's words were better than I've heard at funerals! This was the most meaningful goodbye I've ever experienced. They were so patient and caring, truly exuding peace and love. Services that we've received from Alldredge (thus far): house call for euthanasia, annual checkups and vaccinations, neutering of a dog, micro-chipping, nail clipping, heartworm/flea control (this review likely will be updated when something different occurs). We have 1 dog and 2 cats... Another dog will soon be added, and there's no question who'll be the vet! Alldredge Vet Services is absolutely top-notch. Highly recommended!
