How to Save Money at Prok9 Veterinarian
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 recently took my dog to Hypnotic, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. Dr. was fantastic, so knowledgeable and gentle with my pup. They took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt comfortable with the treatment plan. The clinic itself is clean and well-organized, and you can tell they genuinely care about the animals they treat. My dog usually gets nervous at the vet, but he was surprisingly calm thanks to the caring environment. I highly recommend pro k9 to any pet owner looking for a trustworthy and compassionate veterinary clinic. We’ll definitely be coming back!

We had a little singleton pup (c section)and they delivered him perfectly. They really listened to me when I told them about momma. She had a mass while being pregnant and not only were the able to remove it, they delivered the puppy and fixed momma all at the same time. She is doing amazing today and so is puppy. I trust them more than anyone in Houston. They are very knowledgeable and know what they are doing. Very professional. And the prices are amazing. Can’t beat them!! Thank you guys so much.

I’ve searched the entire Houston/Richmond area when my English bulldog unexpectedly got pregnant ( dad is an English bulldog as well ) and this place was the only place I felt 100% sure using . Efficient, Clean, PROFESSIONAL, and also educated about what they are doing . My mom dog has healed beautifully after 4weeks since prok9 delivered her babies via c section . We will be bringing all of our fur babies here from here on out. I 10000% recommend pro k9 !

Just recently moved to the area from Michigan. I have an English Bulldog and if you know then you know they desire a certain type of tender love and attention, so I wanted to make sure the clinic I chose would represent just that. The staff was extremely polite and friendly and very attentive towards my concerns because my dog was having a very bad allergic reaction. The Vet suggested it could be due to the climate change. They were on it immediately giving me the necessary prescription for her and she is doing soooo much better. Thank goodness would definitely recommend them for care if you have a fur baby.
