How to Save Money at West Boca Veterinary Center

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.

We always have a wonderful experience at West Boca Veterinarian Center. The doctors are so knowledgeable and all of the workers are so kind to our dogs. I want to give a positive review and thank Rebecca S. for doing such a wonderful job on both of our dog’s nails. They are not easy and somehow she manages to do a perfect job! Thank you.

My experience with WBVC has been amazing! We specially love Dr. Kuehnel who has been taking care of our doggies for over 7 years. We recently rescued a new pup and met Lisa on our first puppy visit; we are so happy with her!!! Lisa is knowledgeable, friendly and took such good care of our pup Oliver. Thank you!!!

We have had our cat, our first dog and now our second dog with West Boca. We travel nearly 30 minutes and feel that every minute is worth it. Everyone on staff make you feel like family. They have always loved our animals, answered all our questions honestly even when it was time to put our cat down. I highly recommend West Boca to be your animals doctors.

The loss of my sweet dog and family member of almost 17 years was heartbreaking. But, the compassion my entire family received from Dr. Rebecca Seiden and the entire team at West Boca Veterinary, was far and beyond. Dr. Rebecca was completely straight forward as to the perilous situation for my dog, all the while showing great empathy and understanding for what I was feeling. On the day we put our sweet doggy to rest, we were shown such love and patience. Thank you Dr Rebecca for your kindness, compassion and generosity.

Katie and Molly were so helpful and amazing. As a new pup mom, I have been so anxious about making sure my girl was happy and healthy. The first vet I took her to made me feel awful and stupid when I voiced my concerns or asked for help. Here, they were patient, sweet, and extra helpful. I can't say enough about how amazing my experience was here!!!
