How to Save Money at Beaches Animal Clinic

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.

Beaches Aminal Clinic is an amazing place! Every time I take my fur baby there he is given the best care. We are greeted EVERY Time by a friendly staff member. Dr. Ramirez explains everything so thoroughly which gives me a sense of comfort knowing that my fur baby is alright and how I can best care for him. I hear a lot of people say their dog doesn't like going to the vet, well when we drive up, Mojo gets so excited and tries to pull us to get inside quickly. He LOVES it there which is a testament of the great service and personality of each staff member. Thank you Beaches Animal Clinic for being the BEST!

Sassy loves boarding here! They treat her like she is their own. I have peace of mind knowing that her doctors and vet techs are there to take care of her in case of an emergency.

We just moved to the area and were looking for a vet for our senior dog. We brought her to Beaches Animal Clinic for an annual exam. She is *terrified* of all vets, and always starts shaking profusely as soon as she realizes where we are. We explained this to the staff, and they were super duper understanding and accommodating. Stacey and Dr. P let her stay with us in the room for everything. They took the time to help her relax, were really gentle and kind for the exam and shots. And for the first time ever, our dog actually relaxed enough to eat some of the treats they offered! We will definitely be using Beaches Animal Clinic as our vet for as long as we are in the area. Great experience. P.S. the Pegasus statue outside is awesome!

Just left there after a nail trim. Vic was the tech doing the trim for me. She was awesome and patient with my dog. Definitely made the experience great. My pup didn't have any bad reaction to a new person like she normally does. So ill definitely be back.

Dr Weldon is amazing! She perfectly navigated me through one of the most difficult decisions I’ve ever had to make in saying goodbye to my dog. She was professional, kind, understanding, gentle, and caring throughout the entire process. I could not imagine going through that with anyone else.
