How to Save Money at Abbott Animal 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.

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.

If you have a small inkling that you might have an emergency, DO NOT bring your fur babies here!!! We brought in my cat Duke this past Tuesday (1/30/24). He was panting. We paid our office visit and went to the back room. A girl had us hold him to be able to take a rectal temperature. It stressed him out so bad that he couldn't breathe at all. The lady who worked there just stood there and watched him as he was struggling to breathe. I screamed at her to go get the doctor. I had to drop to the floor to try to give him CPR. And he died right in front of us. I went to the hall and was screaming where was the doctor?! And the lady at the front desk screamed back at me that the other lady was getting him. Very rude and no empathy at all! I was frantic and crying. It took the doctor forever to reach us and by the time he did all he did was confirm that our baby died. I was screaming and crying and they just left the office and said nothing. We put our baby back in his carrier and left. Will NEVER go here again. It was an absolute traumatic experience. Please don't bring your fur babies here if they are sick. We learned the hard way. RIP to our baby Duke.

My puppy had a problem with his left eye and the doctor performed a test that showed he had a scratch in his eye. I was very impressed.

I took my fur baby in not knowing that she would need emergency surgery. The team at Abbott Animal Clinic immediately took great care of her and for that I am grateful. Thanks to all the wonderful staff there from Coco and I.

Worst clinic to bring your animal to! If you care about your pet, do them the courtesy of NOT GOING HERE. They will turn away a dog dying in your arms for starters. Secondly, the vet is so old that he does butcher jobs for surgeries, especially with spay/neuter jobs. Why anyone would want to sacrifice their animal here is beyond me. This place needs to be shut down for good. Dogs in daycare come up stolen, just read the reviews and listen to the public! I will also be contacting the Texas Board of Veterinary to submit a formal complaint against this location.

DO NOT BRING AVIAN EMERGENCY, PLEASE BRING IT TO GOLF COAST VETERINARY SPECIALIST!!!!! Half of the staffs there have no idea what is going on. They'll run tests that you'll never get a result of. Brought my pet parrot there for a bruised leg, and run up 3 lab tests and some meds. My parrot got so drugged up by their prescription, fell and broke its leg. Then they recommend me to a specialist with the test results that was still unavailable, and that's the last I heard from them. Never got any call about any test results, or the reason why those test was needed.
