How to Save Money at El Campo 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.

Great experience. Took my little bit in right away didn't have to wait. He examined her and explained everything to me that was going on and what I needed to do. He even loaned me a carrier to bring her home. I felt comfortable with him and his receptionist they were both upfront with what my baby needed. Treated her like if she was their own. Very reasonable compared to other clinics I've been to. Definitely recommend this clinic.

Over the holidays, between Christmas and New Years of 2022, our baby pig suddenly got sick. She was about 10 weeks old. As my vet had recently closed, I looked up vets in El Campo. This clinic was listed as the 3rd one. I started with number one and went down the list. The first 2 wouldn't even try to see her. She would have died without help. This vet called me back and saw her that same day. He got her back on the mend. If he hadn't seen her, she wouldn't have made it. The cost was also more than reasonable. We will be going back to him with all of our animals.

Our family has used this clinic for years. The veterinarian and his staff are very caring and knowledgeable about both small and large animals. He has provided both our pets and livestock with preventative healthcare & checkups as well as after - hours emergency care. I usually bring my children with me when I take our pets in for their checkups and the entire staff is friendly, helpful & professional. They carefully explain what they're doing to my curious children and are patient, kind and gentle with our pets. We have truly received 5 star treatment at the El Campo Vet Clinic.

Someone should teach this vet some manners on how to talk to customers. My dog was hit this past weekend and the person who hit him, called this vet. She gave me his card and I called, he pretty much yelled at me that I need to hurry and be there because he needs to leave already. I headed his way and he was gone. I called him back to let him know I have arrived and he talked to me so rudely. First that he already left and he gave me 5 minutes because he had somewhere to be which I told him understand about business hours but he went on to saying he doesn't live there and he has a life. That he told me I should of been there right after I called and that I should have known what time he closed since he mentioned it to me. I told him I wasn't that first person on the phone that had called because she was the person who hit my dog and that I'm the owner to the dog, he changed his attitude and tone of voice a little but he was seriously so rude. I understand it was after hours but there is no need to be rude. I refused his service to come back and got a hold of a friend who works for anot her vet clinic in Wharton. She was much more helpful and sweet compared to that jerk. Thank God my dog is recovering and in much better shape than we thought.
