How to Save Money at Heart of Florida Animal Hospital & Pet Resort

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.

Pet Resort for our pup. Excellent service. New to this, our dog was well cared for and loved. We are testing it out for a trip we will need to board him for. They didn’t charge a dime. Kelly was wonderful and is just so good with our over active dog. 🐾 Also our dogs vet.

Dr. Wilkinson and the Heart of Florida staff are hands down the very best care you can get for your pet. They have taken care of our babies for 25 years and we wouldn’t trust anyone else. They treat your babies as they would their own and always provide the absolute best care and advice. ❤️ Thank you Dr. Wilk, Bev, Terry, Lacey, and all! We love you guys!

We are So blessed to have you!!! Shout out to the staff Ms. Lacey and Ms. Beverly for being so kind. Much Love to you all. ❤️

They watched my dogs over the weekend. Everything was good my only issue is they do not allow you to pick up on Sundays and you have to be there before noon on Saturday if you're not you won't get your pet until Monday. I do find that odd but it wasn't a deal breaker I just won't use them for trips I get back on Sundays. The staff was friendly and dogs came back happy smelling good. I do wish they sent reports but not all dog boarding places do that.

Brought my senior cat in for her yearly checkup. The Dr was so compassionate about my cats arthritis. She showed she truly cared and was not just interested in money. This was my first time here and I will definitely continue to have my them care for my cat.
