How to Save Money at Southfork 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.

... Worst communication service. My darling has been sick for a few days. Starting Friday morning at 10am, we took her to Southfork where they told us she has a 103 fever. We had to leave her at the clinic for what was supposed to be an hour as they were waiting for the ultrasound machine. After 4 hours with still no phone call, I reached out to get an update. They then told me they were backed up and Dr. would be seeing her soon. An hour later we finally get an update that she needed an immediate surgery to clear the infection. Great. We go ahead and approve what is needed for the surgery to happen today. By this time it is 3pm. An hour and a half later after getting the run around from them due to their previous surgeries running late, we are told the Dr. would NOT be able to perform her surgery today and to bring her back at 8am Saturday morning. We were told our bill which a deposit will be made at drop off, the procedure, and the aftercare. Aftercare included her NEEDING to be watched at the hospital for 3 DAYS to make sure the infection cleared post surgery. Perfect. We verify that our family friend will be the one to drop her off as we had prior engagements Saturday morning but will be there to pick her up Tuesday morning when she can be discharged. Everyone agreed to this including the Dr., front staff, receptionist, nurses, and my family. Saturday morning comes around and now The bill is due in full and She will have to be picked up after the surgery because the office is closed on Sundays. We are first time pet owners. We have advised that we will approve anything they need to get her the best care. WE ARE NOT DOING HER AFTERCARE AT HOME IN HER CONDITION. Why was this not communicated to us FRIDAY after being there from 10am-6pm. We wasted an ENTIRE DAY that could have been spent getting my baby surgery because they wanted their money. Poor communication. You say you've practiced for 13 years but this is unacceptable. We will be taking her elsewhere from now on.

We’ve been bringing our dog to Southfork for five years and always appreciated the care we received from Mark. He was wonderful with our dog, incredibly kind, and clearly passionate about his work. Unfortunately, our recent experiences with one of the vets at the clinic have been disappointing and have made us decide to look for a new vet. This vet did not know what she was doing and she prescribed our dog a medication he did not need, which caused noticeable changes in his behavior. We just learned that he was being treated for a condition he was never diagnosed with and was taking a dosage that was too high. As pet owners, you will do everything in your power to make sure your dog is healthy so it was upsetting to realize that he was on unnecessary medication. In addition, the costs were excessive and our dog was still showing weird behavior. It feels wrong that a place meant to help animals ended up profiting from unnecessary treatment. While we are grateful for the years of good care with Mark, we no longer feel comfortable continuing here.

My 18 year old schnuzer was at the end of life also, and the staff was so... nice with this most different moment. I appreciate them greatly. One of the hardest things to do is to let go. For my dog's time has come. Thanks.
