How to Save Money at Chuluota Veterinary 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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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 had a great visit here, everyone is really kind! Our pets are usually quite nervous at their vet appointments, but Madison and Dr. Chehab were very patient with them and kept them calm during their visit. My wife and I also really appreciated Dr. Chehab taking the time to thoroughly answer all of our questions. She was very caring and gave us some great recommendations.

They cured two dogs of two issues no other vets could cure. If they couldn’t do it. The dogs could have died. Thank you all your the best

I couldn’t ask for a better clinic to take my animals to! This is probably the only clinic I've ever gone to where I genuinely don't care which doctor I see when I schedule an appointment. I trust and adore both Dr. Zern and Dr. Chehab and they have been great for everything from routine puppy shots to more complicated treatment plans, and everything in between. I never feel rushed and always feel like they truly care about what's best for us. The receptionists and techs are friendly and always as excited to see my pets as my pets are to see them. We're happy to have found CVH!

This was a horrible experience. I am absolutely floored that Dr. Zern has adopted such despicable customer service practices that seem to be driven by monetary greed. I have not seen Dr. Zern in several years but when I moved back to north Orlando, even though I am disabled and get very nervous driving and I'm on a fixed income, I still wanted to pay Dr. Zern for shots and to meet my new baby. I called the office to advise I would be 10 minutes late due to being stuck in construction right near their place. I was advised that they were packed and she might have to cancel my appointment. I told her to please not do that to me as I was right about the corner and why couldn't she put the person waiting in front of me and I take that persons place. She said she had to ask and came back and said the person she asked said I can still come but there will be a $40 work in fee. I could only start crying as I was already an emotional wreck from driving. It was hard enough for me to come up with the money to pay for his shots, but then Dr. Zern's unprofessional and disgusting office practices put me out of the required money. What has happened to people and how they treat others? What happened to caring for animals and putting them over profit? I get Vets can get $240 for an hour of their time, and I think had I been there at 10:30 sharp, he would have had me waiting for way longer than 10 minutes and wouldn't have offered to compensate me for my time spent waiting. She could have let me arrive 10 minutes late and taken the next person without $40 worth of detrimental harm to the office. That's for sure. Since money is Dr. Zern's motivator now a days, I am going elsewhere. Shame on him!

Very nice and hardworking staff. I dropped off three puppies that needed help and they took them in.
