How to Save Money at Estero 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.

Estero Animal hospital is the veterinary office I chose for my two babies when I moved to Estero for school in August. So far they have been kind and empathetic in caring for my two kiddos. They are a bit on the pricey side of things - but the care I’ve received is great and worth it. Dodger loves the ladies and is excited now to go there anytime we need to! Luna Rose was a bit anxious but she usually warms up quickly once the first visit is over. We see Dr Jen since Dodgie has chronic pancreatitis, and upon reading her bio online I knew that she was the best pick for my kiddo. I’m hoping that they remain our primary care veterinarian while I live here. ☺️

Estero Animal Hospital came highly recommended by a friend, we have since been going to them for over a year! For our silver lab Cash they do a wonderful job making him feel comfortable and treating him for whatever little ailments he might have. He usually suffers from skin sensitivities and they do a wonderful job!!

My dog was 8 weeks old when I first took her to Dr Larry. She just turned 15! Dr Larry is kind, compassonate, he asks questions and listens to your answers. He is all about the well being of your animal. He always provides us with options as to what can be done with our dog's various aging issues. We have since adopted a rescue and she is also a patient of Dr Larry's. The staff is welcoming, friendly and professional. I will not recommend any other animal hospital EVER!!!!

We were sad to see Dr Foster leave the clinic in Naples but happy that we can still see her in Estero when needed. We have found her to be an amazing vet, extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and helping us with our dogs and multiple issues we have come across over the years. She’s willing to take the time to talk with us, listen, and offer her advice as well as research when needed. The staff has been incredible also, and while we still use our clinic in Naples, we travel to Dr Foster for help when needed because of her experience and knowledge. We are very thankful for her and the staff at Estero Animal Hospital!

This practice was recommended to me by a friend. I have been so impressed with the professionalism of all the staff, but particularly Dr. Jen who has such a calm and reassuring way with my cats (and me! ) that I would happily recommend her and this office, to anyone looking for a well equipped, well organized, friendly and knowledgeable veterinarian.
