How to Save Money at Advanced Veterinary Care 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.

This hospital saved my dog's life and I could not recommend them enough. I brought him in thinking it would be an east overnight hospitalization and it turned into a 7 day stay because of how sick he truly was. The staff there were very compassionate to my situation and the doctors were there for me every step of the way, including answering my millions of questions. I was never rushed when visiting and my husband was even able to visit at 3am after he got off of work. If you need care, this is the place to go, hands down. I added pictures from when he was his sickest, to the happy and healthy boy he was at his recheck.

This clinic has amazing, caring professionals with the upmost knowledge and customer service. I took my dog here few nights ago, around 12am, didn’t have time to change because I was at my dad’s house, so I had to go with a swimsuit and cover up due to the nature of the emergency. Our dog had bit a toad and started foaming through his mouth. When we came in, the ver immediately took him in to triage. They’re quick and so efficient, organized, I can go on and on. At the end of the visit, they didn’t charge us, not even for the exam/evaluation, which we were totally not expecting. We were so happy even before that, due to their customer service including the receptionist in front desk that we had a top to give them in gratitude for their care and warm welcome. Our puppy is great. They followed up with us the next day to see how he was doing, which I find very kind and do this myself as a dentist to my patients. Thank you. I’ll be recommending this awesome clinic to all my friends.

I was referred to AVCC from the emergency dept at Coral Springs Animal Hospital, and they provided a blood transfusion to my cat Ally. She was extremely anemic from an intestinal tumor that started hemorrhaging, and even though I was told by the emergency vet at CSAH that blood transfusions can have fatal complications, I was willing to try even without knowing how many days the transfusion would last. I am thankful to the ICU staff at AVCC for giving me one extra day with my fur baby, and also to Dr. Piscoya for going over Ally's extensive medical record and deciding there was nothing else that could've been done surgically or with chemotherapy that we hadn't already tried in prior months at another clinic. I appreciate her patience in explaining everything to me over the phone. Doctor, I have seen other oncologists in the past 2 years who were not as sensitive and patient as you were with me. I ended up going back to CSAH for end of life services because they were closer to my home and I was more familiar with the emergency staff there. Thanks to all the nurses who signed the very thoughtful sympathy card.

I brought my sweet 13 year old Ginger girl here last night around 10pm. She was in respiratory distress and not doing very well at all. The staff immediately took her back and triaged her. Unfortunately there was nothing we could have done to help her so instead they helped us do the kindest thing possible which was put her to sleep. The doctor and vet tech were so incredibly caring and helpful, they truly went above and beyond for us and I just want to say thank you so much for making her final moments special for us as well. I have 6 other fur babies and should the circumstances arise that I need another emergency vet visit, I wouldn't even hesitate to rush them there. Attached is a picture of my sweet little girl with her best friend in the whole world.

This hospital is amazing. The doctors, nurses, and staff are so genuinely caring and efficient. My cat was critically ill and when I arrived at the hospital, he was taken in immediately by two nurses. He was evaluated very quickly and less then 10 minutes later, I was brought into room to go over everything with one of the doctors. They saved my cat's life. He was in hospital for over a week. I got daily calls, sometimes twice a day, with updates from the doctors and nurses. I was able to visit my car prior to him having major surgery after he had been in the hospital for several days. His nurse, Eddie, was so compassionate and I could tell he truly cared for my cat and all animals. It is sad to see that a majority of the low reviews here are complains about treatment costs. Yes, pet medical care is very expensive, but that is the risk you take when choosing to have pets. I am so grateful for this hospital. Thank you for your wonderful care and compassion! - Dexter's Mom 🥰
