How to Save Money at Flower Mound Veterinary Hospital

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.

Getting 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.

Best Vet ever!!!! Dr. Shaffer and his staff are wonderful. He’s amazing with every dog we’ve owned. We’ve been with Dr. Shaffer for over 25 years and I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr Shaffer is the best vet I've ever had the pleasure of bringing my pets to. My pets and I have been coming to see Dr Shaffer for the last 30 years. He's always welcomed them when they were babies and then he was there for them and me when it was time to say goodbye. Thank you Dr Shaffer.

Dr. Shaffer has been our Vet for over 23 years. We have never once had a bad experience. He’s been with us through many pets....cats and now a dog. He’s always super kind, caring and loving to your furry family member. He makes you and your kids feel like the best “pet parent” EVER! My kids use to love to go see him when they were little because he gave them confidence in the job they were doing. Now my daughter is a cat owner and the cycle continues! We will never go any place else :-)

Please don't judge the book by its cover! The clinic has been around for some time and as such the infrastructure may look older or shabby but the doc and the staff are equally experienced and at the top of their game. My puppy was spayed there recently and had her shots and I was blown away by the quality of their work and genuine care for the animals and their parents!
