How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Animal Care Clinic
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

My mother’s dog which was 17, went in for her check up for thyroid medication which she had been on for quite some time. She basically needed a refill. Well, Dr. Bailey rudely scolded my mom for not giving her heart meds which he had suggested some time before. My mother and I (I was there too) told him she was doing well enough, being that my mother really knew her dog. He “yelled” at my mom in such a rude and rageful way, that alone should have been a sign to continue care as my mom had been doing~which had kept her as healthy as a 17 yr old Chihuahua could be. But, she attempted to try the expensive heart meds because of Dr. Bailey’s insistence. Just a week later, Mancha has died. All it took was one dose and it sent her into a spiral downfall. She began vomiting (with blood), stopped eating and drinking and was dead on day 5, post visit. The clinic is disgustingly dirty-it’s unsanitary. Clue #1 to go somewhere else. We are heartbroken and regretting having followed his care guidelines. They were the death of our dog….

We rescued a beautiful little Maltese recently and upon adoption through Humane Society we were sent to this Veterinary Clinic for her check up, which was done thoroughly and professionally by staff and Dr Bailey. We learned from the exam that this 9 lb, senior pup had her jaw broken at some point when she was apparently being used for breeding. Our poor baby will be spoiled for the rest of her life after apparently being misused for years!

Dr. Claudio is not associated with this veterinary office) I went to Dr. Bailey for the first few months I had my German Shepherd, I was satisfied with the level of care Dr. Bailey had done with my dog up until the Surgery to remove mammary tumors on my dog. I went to a second vet for an opinion and had a plan drawn up that would benefit my dog. Dr. Bailey neglected it and when he did the removal not only were the margins so small as to possibly mean that the tumors would grow back but his only offer once that was done was to tell me to call him if they (and they did) eventually grow back to remove them again. Instead of doing that I ended my use of Doctor Bailey and went to the other vet AND took my dog to the Cancer specialists up in Miami who discovered not only did my dog have Carcinoma but Lymphoma as well. If it wasn't for my decision to end my relationship with Dr. Bailey and swap to the other Vet my beloved Shepherd would most likely not have made it for another month after he had removed those tumors. By swapping vets I was able to get My sweetheart another comfortable six months with me before she passed away in my home laying by my side. The only reason I am giving Dr. Bailey a single star instead of the stars he deserved is his Vet Assistants, Darla and Layla are wonderful. I am sure for minor things Bailey is fine HOWEVER please if you suspect that your pet is suffering from something more than a minor illness PLEASE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for seeing my cat for an emergency when two other local vets said they were too busy! It was a Friday and I know it is challenging with staff shortages but I really appreciated that they believed me over the phone that this was an emergency. My cats claw had grown into his pad and I blame myself for not inspecting it closer a week ago. But Darla, the assistant, very gently trimmed his claws (even the ones that weren’t infected) and cleaned his wound. She also offered a 2-day pain injection which I gladly accepted since I will be gone for the weekend on a preplanned trip. I have to agree with others that the office needs a deep clean very badly but the care was 5 star! Thanks again (especially for not charging the emergency fee) from me and Mr. Chicken! p.s. years ago (before smart phone reviews), Dr Bailey checked over two feral cats I was adopting and didn’t charge me which I will never forget!😻

I have a little Yorkie that needs daily fluid treatments due to Kidney Disease. We had a week vacation in Key Largo and I was referred to Animal Care Clinic by another Vet in Key West. When I contacted them they were extremely helpful and set up her appointments for our upcoming visit. I took my little girl to them every day for her treatments and they were wonderful. The technicians gave exceptional care to both my little girl and also to me. I highly recommend this Vet practice and I will definitely use them again whenever we are in Key Largo.
