How to Save Money at Glen Rose 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.

I purchased a puppy from a breeder who was seen by Dr. Jones for his 6 week shots. The puppies from the litter had lots of dry skin and the breeder inquired about the skin condition. Dr. Jones did not perform a skin scrape (which I have been told by multiple vets should 100% be conducted) and he told the breeder it was most likely just puppy cradle cap. Sadly, our puppy has Sarcoptic mange and now so do several of our family members. We are itchy, uncomfortable, and now cannot cuddle our sweet boy for 2-4 weeks. He was also supposed to travel with us to visit family and now has to return to the breeder to wait out his quarantine. Please do not patronize this business. I spoke with Dr. Jones to let him know that I would be reporting him to the Texas Board of Veterinary Medicine. Though he is a smooth talker and I assume has great bedside manner, that doesn't guarantee proper care

Each and every visit to Glen Rose Veterinary Clinic is personal. We have just added two puppies to our family and Dr Jones and his crew welcomed them in like family. They are always professional, yet personal. Smiles are in abundance (when needed) and just the way everyone loves each of the animals that comes through their doors is obvious. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Dr Jones is the most knowledgeable and honest vet I’ve ever met. He and his whole team genuinely care about animals. Best veterinary service I’ve ever received hands-down, I highly recommend this place.

We had the most wonderful experience! These folks were so gentle and loving with my doggies and so personable with me. And the price for all they did was very reasonable. Love my vet!

It's been a very long time that I've been able to find another GREAT Veterinarian AND Office Staff like I've found in Dr. Michael Jones and Beth (Office Mgr.), and their complete caring, knowledgeable Staff. I recently moved to Bosque County and I began going to another nearby Vet Clinic and began realizing that their level of experience and knowledge just wasn't high enough to meet my and my fur babies needs so I began my search for another Veterinarian and that's how I came across Glen Rose Veterinary Clinic. Firstly, I want to say how HIGHLY impressed I am that Dr. Jones was so personable, friendly and intently assertive in wanting to dig-in to my reason for being there at my 1st appointment and carefully explaining what I should anticipate being the next steps to provide EXCELLENT Healthcare to my fur babies. One of my 3 dogs is an 18 years old miniature dachshund and needed a dental cleaning and a few skin masses removed and she also has a slightly enlarged heart and required careful anesthesia because of her condition. The other Veterinarians didn't know this about the anesthesia and simply said they wouldn't help. I'm very grateful for Dr. Jones and that he and his wonderful Staff took such OUTSTANDING care of my fur kids. I am very thankful, grateful, and blessed that I finally found another Veterinarian that I can trust with the care of my babies. I wouldn't hesitate referring him to ANYONE! THANK YOU Dr. Jones, Beth and Staff, Y'all Are AWESOME!!
