How to Save on Veterinary Costs at South Denton Animal Hospital
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

Unbelievable. Absolutely amazing. We have used the services of South Denton Animal Hospital since July 2002. South Denton Animal Hospital all began as an idea placed into action from Dr Nub Neighbors, to provide the finest animal care possible, not only for our pets for the pet owners as well. It takes a great deal of interpersonal skills to deal with both sides, from the knowledge to diagnose the patients needs, effectively providing the required medical treatment and too at times directing as well as consoling the pet owners. Its not an easy job, quite frankly its a tough one. Especially when the patients are not able to communicate with the physician. And throughout his career Dr Neighbors worked with the nearly and newly graduates from Texas A&M School of Veterinary Medicine. Some good, some great. And one graduate that was and continues to be extraordinary, the cream of the crop if you will from Dr Neighbor’s tutelage, we know him as Dr Cody Bullock. Over these past couple of decades we have had a number of animals taken care of by Dr Bullock, he has always been capable, professional, and caring. From surgeries, to illnesses, broken bones and severe lacerations. Dr Bullock, always available, always stepping in, always the right decisions, and if something came up that was a little tough, he would follow protocol and always follow up after further review, and at times, shortly after the visit with a “let’s try this” after giving additional thought or doing added research. A very talented, caring unselfish veterinarian. Our latest visit with the good doctor, we have been working with Dr Bullock for a number of months about our very good friend and pal, Biscuit, a yellow lab. In our lifetime, we have never had such a good loyal friend. Biscuit never met anyone or any animal that he didnt love. Well, Biscuit got sick, no treatments worked, but that didnt deter Biscuits disposition, no matter how bad he felt or how much pain he was in, he always smiled, wiggled and wagged his tail. Oh how he loved Dr Cody. The time came, for Biscuit’s well being, to head home. For we only get to have our doggy friends with us for oh such a short period of time. Without going any further, i don’t know what it is, seems like it gets harder and harder with telling each of these dear friends goodbye as we grow older. As always, Dr Bullock took good care of me and my darling wife, with Biscuit. He explained everything, assuring us that all was well with Biscuit, and that Biscuit was at rest. What a wonderful, caring Doctor. Thank you Dr Bullock for your many years taking care of our animals, and especially our dear friend Biscuit. And pass on our appreciation to your wonderful team.

Cody's is the only vet we trust with our animals! Including our newest member. We initially had a problem with her and his staff helped get us the right medication quickly. They even gave us the name to a great dog trainer. She is currently healthy, thriving, and a complete pain in the a$$.

I've had a number of dogs and cats that I have taken here for everything from yearly visits, to diabetes and cancer. I don't think there is a better vet in the greater Denton area. Reasonable prices, great staff and Dr Bullock is excellent. He takes care of my pets until it's out of his area of expertise and then knows who might specialize in a problem area. I like that he is honest!

Beware South Denton Animal Hospital. The people are nice enough but the care provided is incompetent at best. They let my cat die in 2019 because they dismissed a serious respiratory issue as asthma and gave him a steroid shot. This was a recurring issue and at the end we’d brought him three times in the week and saw no improvement. By the time they figured out there was actually a blood clot in his lungs it was too late and we had to put him to sleep. They let a second cat of mine suffer over these past few days because we took her in because she’d lost a lot of weight very suddenly despite eating a whole lot, he did x-rays and flagged her enlarged spleen and the fact she had been eating litter (which we knew and is part of why we took her in) but somehow missed that fluid was building up in her lungs despite listening to her breathing with the stethoscope for three solid minutes while we watched. We had to take her to the emergency vet last night to be put to sleep and they were the ones who told us. Meanwhile SDAH just prescribed her medicine for her metabolism and some vitamins. If you love your pets do not take them here. They will never be trusted with my cats again.

We’ve been taking our dogs to Dr. Cody Bullock for years. He has always taken the best care of them. I have only good things to say about him and his office. I highly recommend him.
