How to Save Money at Copeland Road Animal 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.

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.

I can’t compliment Copeland Road Animal Hospital enough!! Dr. S and her staff go above and beyond for every client. I initially brought my cat in as an emergency for a new patient. He was FeLV+, and they went above and beyond to make him comfortable and give me peace of mind during his last days. Whether it’s an emergency or just a check up they are thorough in all their exams. On top of it all, they are sure to follow up within 24hrs of a procedure to make sure your pet is doing well and to answer any questions. They are patient with my anxiety ridden rescue dog. They are quick to answer the phone and get you taken care of as well! The front desk ladies (Kim and Shay) are SO sweet and diligent in getting your answers questions. Hannah is the BEST tech there (I may be a little bias) but she remembers me and my pets everytime we come in AND is as sweet as can be. Forever grateful we found a clinic to take such good care of my fur babies!

Friendly staff. I've been going here for a little while and it's been a decent experience. I wish they could give you a rough estimate of what something will cost. Sometimes their prices change so I'll go in expecting it to be around a certain price and it will be way more expensive than discussed or insinuated. Or I wish they did payment plans on some things.

Very nice office, with great accommodations fortunately they are one of the only animal hospitals in the county that does rabbies quarantining they ladies in the office are very nice and helpful I'm sure if there are men there they might be helpful also but noone would care anyways so we won't talk about that, anyways would definitely recommend especially if you don't have a choice and your local animal control gives you fine without giving you a fine by making you quarantine

Dr Sheehy and her staff are absolutely wonderful. My cat has ptsd after being hit on a busy bridge and had cars drive over her, over and over. So loud noises and sudden movements really stress her out. They were incredibly empathetic and adjusted their speaking volume to help not make her more on edge and scared. She hid under a towel most of the time, and they worked around it when able. I just really appreciate the genuine care they showed for my baby. I was sad to leave our clinic in lindale, but finding one closer to us was necessary, and i think we completely lucked out. Her continued care is going to be rather easy, and their prices arent bad either!!!! Thank you all SO much from the bottom of my heart. My mum used to work with the Dr when she was a tech years ago, and she definitely lives up to all the good things ive heard. I highly recommend them.
