How to Save Money at VCA Aventura Animal Hospital & Pet Resort

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.

Overall, I have had a great experience bringing my dog here. Whenever there has been an issue, they have seen her right away & are terrific with reminders and follow-up appointments. The only thing downside is you see different Vets each time; however, they have all been great.

This veterinary hospital is truly exceptional! I visited them the day after discovering their offer of a first time, free exam on their website, and I received the warmest welcome. Dr. B and nurse Mariana were incredibly considerate and patient, demonstrating genuine care for my male cat. I was quite distressed, because he had been displaying unusual behavior, prompting me to bring him for a check up to ensure there wasn’t anything serious going on. I am immensely grateful to Dr. B and Mariana for their assistance and care for the cat and how they helped me relax knowing he was in good care. I rescued my cat from my community parking lot and this was his first time at the veterinarian. He honestly this so well, and all the results came out good with no issues. I would highly recommend bringing your pets here.

AMAZING, CARING, AND BEYOND KNOWLEDGEABLE!! Dr. B and her assistant, Katherine were truly incredible. My sister and I came from Hialeah to Aventura(30-40 minute drive) today to get our cat checked because she was not feeling too well. I have had my cat checked before with other vets and their assistant but none have told me that my cat was actually a boy! My point is that they are really worth the drive! Dr. B is really an Angel in disguise, she was born to be a vet, the love she has for animals is honestly remarkable. She takes her time and is very thorough. If you have a million questions, she will happily answer them and will make sure you leave with no concerns. Katherine is a sweetheart! She is patient and will go over what you and Dr. B discussed to ensure you have a better understanding and leave with a clear mind. She is also extremely helpful and overall amazing. LOVE THEM!!!

VCA aventura is the best vet hospital. I had the pleasure of meeting Vanessa today and she was very sweet and caring with my pup. Have been coming here for around 7 months already and I couldn’t be happier with bringing my pup here. They make sure to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Highly recommend

The clinic is great. Cute inside. Small touches to make it seem friendly and inviting. Great staff and wonderful Vets. However, I needed to board my cat because he bites off his fur and needs more attention. I don't know if the attendant didn't remember or didn't listen to me but I specifically said that my cat needs 2 pairs of clothing or he will bite through and rip off his fur. I spent many months getting his fur back to normal and when I got him after the bordering nearly all his leg fur was gone. I also told them not to change the amount of medication because what he was on was very much working for him. But, they changed it to a lower dosage. I would recommend the clinic but not the bordering.
