How to Save Money at Owens Equine

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.

Dr. Owens was the only vet that could come to my home same day to euthanize my 22yr old cat. She was responsive, very kind, and gentle with my little girl. I would absolutely recommend her services during this difficult time.

We recently had to seek support from Dr. Owens as a hospice vet and euthanizing of our dog of over 15 years. We found her after having a poor experience with another vet, and she was able to diagnose our dog quickly with the appropriate medication to help her last month of life end with as much ease as possible. She leads her practice with empathy and patience, and provides the attention and care needed for animals and their owners. We are so grateful and thankful to have met her, and couldn't recommend Dr. Owens enough.

We recently had to make the difficult decision to euthanize our 14 year old dog. Dr. Owens came to our home and gave us peace about our decision. Her demeanor, kindness and the fact-based information were just what we needed during our incredible moment of loss.

Dr. Owens was called to come for a euthanasia of our 5 yr old cat with cancer. Our cat had taken a turn for the worse and we were looking for a vet to come the day we called to perform end of life services so our dear furbaby didn't have to be in pain anymore. Dr. Owens was very responsive and was able to rearrange her appointments to come to our house the same day as an emergency visit to take care of our cat's needs. She arrived and provided good details about her role and what to expect and gave us the private time we needed to spend with our furbaby throughout the process. It was a heart wrenching decision needing to say goodbye without much time after she was diagnosed with her tumor, so it was very comforting to have Dr. Owen's very professional and calm demeanor at our home to walk us through this transition. We didn't want to subject our cat to another car ride in the carrier to our vet so the experience having the service at home was the best fit for our needs. We will continue to have at home end of life services from now on, because it is such an emotional and personal experience best suited for our family at home.

My parents found Dr. Owens online when they were looking for a compassionate vet to do a home euthanasia. Their dog of 16 years was losing her battle with cancer and her pain was clear. Dr Owens was kind, compassionate and obviously very experienced. When our family dog took a turn for the worst a week before the scheduled day, Dr Owens agreed to come same day and was patient and kind to my distraught parents. As a social worker in a trauma ED, I’ve heard medical doctors give the “death talk” many, many times. Dr Owens was better than half the MDs/residents/med students I work with, treating your fur baby with all the respect they deserve.l and taking the time to explain and listen to you. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and experienced vet to help your pet take their final journey.
