How to Save Money at Mustang Veterinary Surgical
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.

Dr. Dean and his staff are amazing!! Our dog (age 6 or so) messed up her leg terribly bad in July 2021. Dr. Dean performed her surgery on July 19, 2021 and today November 11 2021, she has now been walking perfectly with ZERO limping for several weeks now. She had TPLO and Troclear Sulcoplasty. We carefully followed everything Dr. Dean told us to do and I am so happy she is doing awesome!! Dr. Dean and his staff are very caring and thorough!! We are 100% satisified with this outcome!! Thank you Dr. Dean and your staff!

My dog had torn both ACL’s, one after the other. During the first tear, we had no idea what the cause of his pain and lameness was. We went to three different vets and they all said it was simply mild arthritis. By the time we took him to Dr. Dean, he could hardly walk. He was able to immediately show us the tear in his leg on the X-ray and went over in detail how he could fix it. He also warned us that because he put so much weight on his other leg during this time, it would likely tear too. He was transparent with us about the entire process from surgery to recovery and we knew without a doubt that we could trust him with such an extensive surgery. We had both legs operated on at different times over the course of a year. He was seven just before his first surgery. His lameness was so bad we had to carry him outside just to go to the restroom. He’s eight now and can run and play and has the energy of a puppy again. I will be forever grateful for the years we gained back with our dog because of Dr. Dean. The professionalism and wisdom he carries will always be respected by me and my partner. I highly recommend him for anyone that might be in a similar situation that we were in.

Our experience with Dr. Dean and the staff at Mustang Veterinary was excellent. Our lab mix and golden retriever each had similar problems requiring surgical repair. Dr. Dean was clear in explaining the diagnosis and options. After the surgery he and his staff guided us through the rehab process. Both of our dogs healed well - the first surgery was 7 years ago - and have not had any recurring problems.

Dr. Dean and his staff are A Number One. My expensive (and awesome) hunting dog came down with a joint infection just one day before I was leaving the country for vacation. Dr. Dean agreed to board the dog for observation and treatment. He kept me updated while I was away. Turns out, he not only saved my dog’s leg, he saved its life ... a life I enjoy to this day. Mustang Vet’s skill and professionalism is simply remarkable. The “above and beyond” attitude, however, separates these nice folks from the pack.

We discovered our dog had to have ACL surgery. After visiting a local surgeon in McKinney, I left disheartened. Although I imagine the procedure would have been done correctly, I felt no connection to the surgeon and had no confidence that he really cared about my dog. He made no attempt to even speak to him and comfort him. It seemed he was just another case file. I came across Dr. Dean through a recommendation from an acquaintance. I decided to schedule an appointment. I drove from McKinney to Pilot Point because it was important that I felt a connection and my dog was considered more than a surgical fee. To my surprise, my wishes were granted. Dr. Dean took so much time explaining the procedure, answering my questions and concerns. His staff was friendly and caring and made me feel our baby was going to be in the best care. They contacted me with updates as he was in surgery and kept me updated through the entire process. The procedure was a great success and I didn't hesitate to make the drive again when it was time to do the second leg. They are a wonderful team and really love their patients.
