How to Save Money at Pet Doctor of Davie

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.

Amazing doctor! They are so kind and thoughtful with animals and parents/owners. I drive 30 minutes to go there, even though there are places much closer by. Highly recommend. Our animals deserve the best.

Very caring doctor and staff. Dr Osti has saved the lives of several of my cats and I am forever grateful. It’s worth the 14 mile drive to know my animals are in such capable hands!

The vet is a nice lady and the staff are nice, but they have taken this covid stuff to far. We are now 3 years after covid and they are still wearing masks, they only let 1 person in the waiting room at a time, though they still have 10 chairs inside. The worst part is the doctor no longer actually sees anyone in person anymore. After they take the animal the doctor will only call you. The doctor is 10 feet away, yet she can't see anyone in person. There is a minimal chance of covid at this point, even the government has said the risk is minimal. The worst part is they make people wait outside when appts overlap. No chairs or seats to sit in. They used to have a bench but no longer. Again we like the vet, she has done a decent job and is affordable, but the covid restrictions need to stop.

Great service from Dr. Osti and staff. She always takes good care of our dog by being very thorough when checking him, always listening and making sure all questions are answered.

BEST VET EVER! Their office is efficient, clean and most importantly passionate and caring. Other vets treated my senior dog like a bank. Trying to do everything under the sun and charge you a ton. Dr. Osti diagnosed, treated and loved my dog Ozzy like he was her own pet. She was reasonable and did not put him through unneeded painful procedures just to get extra money. Banfeild injured his spine in a routine visit and I lost trust in vets after that.... until i met Dr.osti. He was happier than ever, up on his feet, chasing us for food and the end of his life was pain free. She is one of a kind and she is now my permanent vet. Treating my other dog Taco and cat Kitty Kitty. You won't regret picking her as your vet!!
