How to Save Money at CityVet | Preston Forest Veterinary Clinic & Urgent Care
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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.

My sweet 18 year old Bogie Boy was called to Rainbow Bridge. Everyone was so respectful and understanding my pain. They gave us privacy for our last goodbye and were so patient and consoling. I stayed to the very end. He went peacefully, then I was allowed more time to grieve. This was the most difficult time in my life, but their sensitivity helped me thru. Today I received his ashes in a beautiful urn, his sweet little footprint, a certificate of his cremation, a beautiful plaque of his name, and a piece of his hair. When Bogie was alive, he had also been boarded there while on vacation. I recommend this place if you love your baby as I did mine. I will be forever grateful for their sincerity and kindness. Thank you

Dr. Jennifer Nguyen is great. Listens through the perspective of an owner and not just a professional in her field so her explanations are simplified and thorough. She understood my concerns and reassured me about my senior dog’s care. Called and got same day appointment for my dog’s annual visit. Convenient! It was costly, but will pay for quality and convenience.

Dr. Lufkin and her team are phenomenal. She was with us when we had to put down our sweet dog last summer and was incredibly compassionate. She has also seen our two new puppies we brought into our family over the last 2 years. Her partner Dr. Arroyo was also wonderful when out dog had to have emergency surgery earlier this year. I could not recommend this team enough.

I had a really disappointing experience with CityVet. My dog was very sick, so I called around 5 PM (they close at 7) to ask if they accepted walk-ins. The person on the phone told me to come right away since the vet would be leaving at 6 PM and they could squeeze me in. Unfortunately, there are two CityVet locations on Preston, and the representative gave me the address to the wrong one. I even read the address back to confirm, and they said it was correct. I rushed over and arrived around 5:30 PM, only to find out that this location doesn’t offer urgent care services. Then I got a call from the actual urgent care location asking if I was still coming. This is when I realized I was at the wrong location. When I looked up the correct address, it was another 25 minutes away. I was annoyed but willing to make the drive however they ended up telling me the vet wouldn’t be able to see my dog by the time I get there since they were leaving soon. I kindly asked if there was any way they could make an exception and accommodate since the error was on their end, but I was told my only option was to reschedule. For a place that promotes care and compassion for pets, the lack of accountability and flexibility was really disappointing. I won’t be returning and, unfortunately, can’t recommend CityVet after this experience.

Zero stars! Worst experience I have ever had. Our dog passed away and I wanted to return the extra prescription food we purchased from City Vet. We would purchase from this location as well as the Preston Hollow location. I was instructed the food was purchased at the Preston Hollow location so they couldn’t accept the return. Even though we definitely purchased that food at Preston Forest multiple times as well. It was the only food the dog ate for the last few months of her life. I will never go back and their employees need some sensitivity training - the employee just kept talking louder and yelling that I would have to go to Preston Hollow.
