How to Save Money at South Mesquite Veterinary Hospital
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 highly recommend this veterinary hospital! I was turned down at 2 vets before because my precious mad cat wouldn’t let anyone get near him and give him his shots!! They said bring him in and we can try and it was a SUCCESS!! Will definitely be coming back. They truly cared for my Felix the cat.

I called a few days ago and the receptionist was extremely rude, cold and uncaring! I was trying to explain what was going on with my pet and was not sure if they take in emergency walk-ins. while explaining what was happening she rudely cut me off saying "AND HOW CAN I HELP YOU?" again I try to explain what's going on and she cuts me off again saying her earliest appointment was "xxxx" day and time. when I asked if they could just please see us she said no they are about to close and already have appointments booked (I called 1 1/2 hours before closing time). Eventually she just told me to go to a emergency room. extremely heartless people during your time in need. I was able to find another non-emergency vet to help us and all my pet needed was a a shot to help them feel better. I was out in 20 minutes!

Shady way to conduct business, i called to get information about getting some stitches removed on my pup, after being told they can do it and it was $15, i sent my relative to do it. Come to find out they told her she had to get all this extra stuff and was charged over $100 more than what I was told. Was never called about this by the Vet nor did they gave her an opinion they just did all the extra stuff and billed my card. Called to ask to ask for info, not only was she rude and careless, they did not offer any solutions. Just another vet that is in it for the money at whatever cost..

After spending thousands here over 10 years they turned us away when we were in dire need of advice for our cat. We already had paid them for a full blood workup recently and the very very rude and mean receptionist with the dark blue sunglasses told my husband it would take too long to do a blood panel etc and they turned him and my son away. My husband says he could tell that the mean receptionist with the dark sunglasses was enjoying the fact she was turning them away. There is no heart at this vet. Dr Pirrung has also exhibited a smug attitude on a few occasions but I overlooked it and spent thousands here anyway. Never again.

This will be our new vet!!!! I went in on Friday morning to drop off our baby for her spay. The two ladies who greeted us were so sweet! They eased our anxiety about the procedure! The next day, we had the same experience! Fantastic ladies!!! Also, I LOVE the lobby they have. Our babies are nervous about the vet, and the entrance is so easy to navigate! Last, but not least, the prices are HALF of what I was quoted elsewhere. I just love these guys and are so thankful for them!!!
