How to Save Money at Veterinary Emergency Group
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.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING experience at THIS location (Tehama Ridge/Fort Worth) Dr Miller and staff was nothing short of amazing and delivered friendly, compassionate, superb service. The staff was welcoming and attentive upon arrival to settling the bill at the very end. The receptionist delivered grade A front of the house service as a first impression and the gentleman that checked me out was super helpful and informative. The tech's communicated every step while going through the process. They literally saved our Sage ensuring she was comfortable and took the time to check on us while waiting. They were transparent and assisted with the financial options to meet our obligation without draining the bank account. Exceeded our expectations!!! The surgery was a huge success but the pre and post care from this facility blew us away. If you want a staff and place that actually cares about your fur baby then without a doubt you've found the right place with VEG Tehama Ridge. Forever in their debt and grateful!!! 2 thumbs up for Elite service. THANK YOU!!!

My sweet dog woke with a swollen eye since it was Sunday we visited VEG Alliance. The Vet techs, nurse, veterinarians were thorough and compassionate. And even though some may feel cost is high at an emergency clinic. I am extremely thankful they were open so her ulcerated eye was addressed quickly, and she was calm, and the care was superior. The office was managed well, clean and all other pets were in at the time I visited were also at peace during our visit. I highly recommend this clinic when your fur babies are ill.

Had to rush my chocolate heeler to VEG for stitches. Not my first rodeo, but our first time at VEG. I loved that I got to stay with my boy throughout the whole process! It helped with his anxiety of the whole situation that I could be by his side. As I sat there watching the staff attend to some of the other animals coming in they had a very professional and caring demeanor with each one of them. I have to admit, some of those situations could have been a regular Mon-Fri vet visit, not really an Urgent situation. But, nonetheless they kept their professional about them and cared for each one as they came in. Might I say it was BUSY!!! When it came time to administer medications, insert the IV and prep him for sedation and surgery (stitches) I was present for all of it! I was shown a list of all the medications they would be using and the explained how he should react to them. They answered every question I had about the whole procedure. My boy was a pretty easy case, but some of the things going on around me weren’t. I was impressed with how well they handled it! Praying we don’t have the need for another Urgent Care visit but if we do, hands down I will be taking my animals to VEG! Big Thanks to Dr. Chong, Piper and Niki for all you did to patch Willie up!

Amazing staff and Doctors. My Dog was having seizures and the staff were very knowledgeable and helpful to get those stopped. I cannot recommend this ER enough. I was able to stay with my puppy in a semi private corner while he received life saving drugs. He was comfortable and was able to rest. Dr Nicole and Deanna were amazing with him and his mess of a mother!

I have had to bring my crazy boy in a few times most recently for a eating his inflatable cone after his foreign body removal surgery. I will never go anywhere else for emergency care. The staff here is so caring and truly helps calm my anxiety when it comes to having to get emergency care. Paul loves everyone here and so do I! I always tell people if they have a VEG near them to use them for emergency care. I’m always glad to find vets and a staff that cares as much about my baby as I do.
