How to Save Money at Dallas Animal Emergency
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.
Reviews from Google
If I could give them zero stars I would. I’m literally coming back to do a review after two years because I constantly think about how poorly me and my fur baby were treated. Please never go to this place. My dog was acting very strange one night, couldn’t stay balanced or stand up. They repeatedly made accusations that my dog got into marijuana even after I continuously told them I do not do drugs or keep those items in my home. I felt so humiliated, and they charged me $100 with no additional testing, after no answers and being disrespected. I just paid the bill because I was in shock and ready to go. The incident happened again today and come to find out my poor baby was having a seizure due to a disease she was born with. I often wonder if they treated me that way because I was a black woman, only because of the energy I felt along with the accusations and assumptions. But all that matters now is I finally got my baby the help she needs. She is my world. 🥹♥️

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care provided by Dr Ashley Welch and her team in saving my fur baby from a bout of vomiting and diarrhea. Their prompt response and expert handling of the situation ensured that my baby received the urgent care needed. I highly recommend their services to any pet owner in need of immediate assistance. My pet is a 4 months old goldador , she was suffering from severe vomiting and diarrhea , the moment they gave the injection she was all good and got into good shape. It was so relieving to see my puppy sleep peacefully after the endless diarrhea episode. They are budget friendly and asked our consent for all the medications and diagnostics , they don’t impose things as mandatory rather they give us a choice to choose what we want, for instance as a part of the medication they suggested royal canine bland food , but that’s something I was able to do at home and I wanted to eliminate that from the post medication list and they were more than happy to go with what I wanted. Thank you for going above and beyond to keep our beloved pets safe and healthy.

We owe everyone on the staff at 5 p.m. Sunday 1/23/2022 a huge thank you. They were extremely courteous and kind to us when we came in for some concerns with our elderly cat, Callie. Nurse Elizabeth, Dr. Graham, and Dr. King were very patient, kind, and informative during each part of the check up process. Thank you for such a calming experience and for taking such excellent care of our sweet girl.

I am so thankful for this crew. My 15 yo Moo Cat ended up with pancreatitis and it was horrible to watch. They took her in, got her back on her feet, and got me in quickly when we had to come back bc she wasn’t quite recovered yet. They are upfront about cost and clearly cared about my kitty. Open 24/7. Always kind and careful with her. Thoughtful and considerate staff. Thank you for helping us and being kind when this cat-mama was a ball of stress.

The care we got for our little dog Sadie from Dr Welch and staff Haily were absolutely amazing. Our dog badly dislocated her front paw running at the park and the few other clinics that were open New Year’s Day were too busy to see her. We rushed her over and had to wait a bit while other pressing treatments for animals brought in before us were cared for. But we were worked in with pain meds, a quick and accurate diagnosis and then she was well stabilized to get her home. The kindness, calmness, and wonderful care we received for our sweet dog was priceless. I highly recommend taking your pets to this wonderful animal practice.
