How to Save Money at Lamb County Veterinary Hospital Ltd
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 have been taking my fur babies here as long as Dr. Schroeder has been here. He and his staff have always been wonderful! I think they love my babies almost as much as I do. The end of 2011, my husband was care flighted to Houston for heart surgery. On a very short notice, they accepted my 3 animals, (2 dogs and a cat). I could not even give them any possible return date at the time. My fur babies spent 7+ weeks with them. Many animals do not do well being boarded for this long and frequently get ill. They all took extra special care if them and spent extra time with them whenever they could. My babies did extremely well and were in good health upon my return. Due to this being a major medical necessity and an emergency as well as of such long duration, I was even given a discount for their boarding. I have not used any other vet since Dr. Schroeder has been here. And I would highly recommend him for any of your vet needs! I noticed a comment on here about not being able to hold your pet while he/she is being euthanized. I would like to say I have been able to hold every one if my babies throughout the entire process and I was absolutely amazed at how peaceful and calm the procedure was EVERY time!

Had to rush my dog in to get treated. But the people were very rude. Call to ask how my dog is doing and they said " he won't be doing so good if we don't get our payment" then we're very nice after we paid. Wasn't to happy with how we were treated.

Didn’t seem very caring. Did not spend a lot of time with us. I have never felt like a vet was uncaring and trying to over charge me until I came here. I feel like I had more options and more could be done. I did not feel welcomed by the vet all though the staff was very polite. Just isn’t a place I would want to take any of my dogs to again.

Great people who really care. Even with being short staffed, they showed patience with us and provided information about our animal and their care.
