How to Save Money at East Dallas Veterinary Clinic
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.

Some people like to call their dogs members of the family, which is as it should be. Ella was more than that, she was also one of my most constant best friends. She got me through more hard times than I can remember. She gave my wife and I over nine years of unconditional love, while being the bossiest, yet sweetest dog anyone could ever ask for. It's been a week since we had to make the decision to let Ella go. Actually, the advanced discovery of hemangiosarcoma made the decision for us, but knowing when it was time to make the call is one no one ever wants to make. There's the inevitable second-guessing after the fact. "Did we exhaust all our options?" "Should we have done more tests?" "Could we have waited just one more day?" As hard as the decision was to make, we do not regret making it. And I want to thank the wonderful people at East Dallas Veterinary Clinic for their kindness, their empathy, and their wisdom throughout an experience no one ever wants to go through. We had total trust in the information we were given and knew the advice we were getting was based entirely on what was best for Ella, not what was easiest to hear. It's hard to single out any person or persons because at every turn we were treated with compassion by everyone there. But I would like to especially thank our vet, Dr. Teresa Martin and Asia Beck, her vet tech. They quietly gave us all the time and space we needed when saying goodbye. Their kindness throughout meant the world to us. Thanks to them, Ella left this world peacefully and surrounded by love.

This place has the nicest humans under one roof that I have ever experienced. They literally are all earth angels, sent straight from heaven: Today was hard but could have been a lot harder if it wasn’t for this beautiful team. I brought my little hamster on Monday and they tried to help her all week. They were kind and compassionate and treated her like a soul and not a “rodent”. From the front desk staff to the techs to both doctors, I couldn’t be any more grateful. You all are the reason I could even get through today. Although, my little baby couldn’t get better you helped her transition. They care so much, it truly is unbelievable. I wish I would have found you all sooner and if I ever get another companion you will be my one and only vet. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, to everyone. Especially you, Asia. Thank you 🙏🏽 Love, Chelsey and Winnie 🐹

We have had positive experiences with the clinic. Every time we go to the vet it’s a good experience. We had to put one of our dogs down and they were so nice and supportive during that painful time. I’ll always remember how nice they are.

Im relocating with my cat and needed a USDA certified veterinarian and Dr.Martin was amazing. Her communication throughout the whole process was so reassuring. You can tell she cares . I’d highly recommend her and this office for anyone looking :)

I love this place! Everyone is so nice and you truly feel like family. I have been bringing my dogs and cats here for 20+ years and I recommend them to everyone (to include grooming). I moved 30-40 minutes away and I drive in. The peace of mind for my pet’s health is so worth it. Dr. Ellsworth and Dr. Mueller take the time to get to know you and really explain what is going on with your pet. Truly the best vet! Updated 07/2024 Still 100% the best vet. Dr. E never fails to make me feel comfortable, informed, and part of the family.
