How to Save Money at Nature's Oasis 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.

My 12 yo Dachshund is very shy and slow to warm up to strangers touching her. She did great with the doctor and even held very still for her acupuncture. I was impressed with them both. We will definitely recommend this clinic for holistic, safe, and effective treatment. The Dr. Has a lot of experience with dachshunds.

We have a 5 year old Labradane who suffers from a ligament tear she had since 8 months old. Surgery was not a fix for her. It was getting worse and she could hardly walk. Her back end would just fall to the ground. We knew a chiropractor helped is so we searched for one for a dog and this one came up. YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX TO USE THIS VET. The first visit was very different. She first addressed the food. She went on to explain the bodily systems and how these affect joints and ligaments. She used a laser, performed acupuncture, and some mild chiropractic adjustments. She then chose some Chinese herbs to give. We left there thinking everything seemed really strange but what the heck-we tried everything else. We started cooking her food (this saved us $70 a month) just like she said and we gave her the supplements. Within a week, Sally could trot, get up and down, wasn't depressed, and her swelling in her knee was down. We are now 3 weeks in and the change is amazing. We also have a 15 year old Schnoodle we were going to put down due to lumbosacral disease and pain but we were so impressed with the change in our big dog we tried it on our senior dog. One week later, our senior dog is walking better and his pain has stopped. She is so knowledge in non-traditional vet medicine and gave us more time with our fur babies. Thank you Dr. Floyd!

Brought my dog here for her excessive coughing, hoping it wasn't heart worm. The vet was so wonderful, opened up her home and sat in the floor with my dog to figure out why she was coughing the way she was. The heartworm test came back negative and it was boiled down to asthmatic issues along with a sore throat from coughing so much that it constantly itched. My pet was given acupuncture therapy, chiropractic care and natural supplements to help get her through the transition. Her symptoms went away by 80% in the first week! She is doing much better and I will continue to bring my pup in as needed.

Nothing but excellent things to say about Dr. Floyd. She's extremely knowledgeable. She's gotten me, my dogs, and my horses through some things that other vets simply wouldn't even look at. She is very straight forward and honest about what she can and can't do, and handles every critter as if it were her own. I was skeptical of holistic veterinary medicine at first... but now, it is ALWAYS my first choice for any issue we have. You will not find a vet anywhere around here who cares more for your animal.
