How to Save Money at Youngblood Equine
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.
Reviews from Google
Dr Youngblood and his team are great! They’re willing to discuss treatment options and answer any questions in a thoughtful and considerate way. I also found them to be very reasonably priced, they were very timely and the clinic is nice and clean. This was the second Vet I took my horse to for lameness. They found that he was actually lame on two legs instead of just one. For months, we thought it was his right front based off observation and what the other veterinarian said. Turns out it was the left hind that was causing the right front lameness the whole time. My Horse is not lame for the 1st time in 6 months and he’s happier than ever! We’ll definitely go back!

Dr Youngblood is the best! He (& his staff) truly care about the horses AND the owners. His prices are competitive but his service is over the top!

Dr Youngblood is one of the kindest and caring vets I have come across.. He wasn't our vet until now. Had a foal born Friday and I contacted him with some concerns. He was in surgery and he texted me and phoneed me throughout the day checking progress. I had never met the man and he was so attentive and I appreciate your encouragement and wisdom!

Greatest experience I have had with a vet. He is a straight shooter and goes out of his way to make sure that our horses are taken care of. When my young mare received a gash on her leg from trying to jump the fence they got me on the phone with the vet then had me send pictures so they could instruct me how to clean and then prescribed some medication. And all for a great cost.

Never again. I took off work to bring my horse to the appointed time that he sat up, not me, but he didn't show up. Then they had me leave my horse but it was a full day later when Youngblood finally got to my horse. He didn't remember our conversation and he kept getting my horse and I mixed up with someone else. Long story short I just had to go get my horse and take him to a vet. Youngblood may very well be a good horse vet but I sure couldn't tell it. Perhaps he's way too busy to get to everyone. Just a heads up if your gonna use him.
