How to Save Money at Floresta 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.

Have a 4 month old puppy that was lethargic and not eating. The office squeezed me in as a new patient the end of the day. Dr Burns examined my pup and treated her immediately. I took her home later that evening and returned the following morning. She did the necessary tests treated with antibiotics and fluids kept my dog there for the day to monitor her. I picked her up and took her home. Dr Burns personally called me each day after to make sure my puppy was getting better. The staff called me to see if I could just stop by so they could do a quick check on her. This is the only vet that I have been to in the past 50 years of having a dog that cared enough to call and make sure my dog improved. She did not do unnecessary tests to run up my bill. My puppy is doing better thanks to Dr Burns and her caring staff.

As a first time puppy mama, I have been super paranoid about finding a good clinic and vet for my furbaby. From my first phone call with Kathryn to Louie's first appointment with Dr. Burns, everyone in the clinic was so nice and helpful! Louie seemed very comfortable with Dr. Burns which is super important to me. Dr. Burns answered all of my questions and she was so easy to talk to. This has definitely become Louie's primary veterinary clinic :)

Dr burns & her staff are always so professional & caring. I have a senior 16 year old border collie. Dr burns was so gentle with her. She could have racked up a huge bill with blood tests & X-rays but dud not want to burden the dog with unnecessary & expensive procedures. She was very informative & dud a thorough exam. She has always put the well being if her patients first. We gave used dr burns even before she had her own practice. We recommend her highly. Thank you dr burns from Blake too :-)

The doctor and staff are awesome. They worked wonderfully with me and my buddy. This is the type of vet that will recommend only needed care to treat your pet, not treat their bank account. It's becoming a rare thing to find these days. Worth a drive if you have to, a blessing if close to you.

I’ve been bringing my animals here for almost 5 years now. Dr. Burns and her team are the best I’ve ever seen! I can’t say enough good things about their care and diagnostic work. Very thorough and compassionate.
