How to Save Money at Lake Mary Veterinary 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.

We found Lake Mary Vet Clinic after multiple recommendations on Next Door App. We are so thankful to have found this veterinary office and couldn't be happier with them. We previously tried 3 other vets offices in Sanford while searching for a forever Vet for our senior dog and new Beagle puppy. The other vets offices we tried were not only extremely expensive but also tried to sell us things that were clearly unnecessary. At each of them they tried selling their monthly service as well as over priced vitamins. We felt we were at a used car dealership. Our first visit to Lake Mary Vet, they were extremely honest which hurts with an old dog but were very fair. They didn't make promises or try to sell over priced garbage. One vet clinic on Orange Blvd in Sanford wanted $800-$1200 to spay our 16lb beagle puppy. I guess there was a reason the place was empty and we were the only ones there for over an hour. When our senior dog need to be put down Lake Mary Vet came to the house and was extremely patient and kind while we cried our eyes out. They were absolutely amazing and allowed us to hold our baby throughout the entire process. A few weeks later we picked up a beautiful wooden memorial. Lake Mary Vets prices are extremely reasonable. Monthly Simparica Trio is about $26. It was less then $300 to spay our puppy (not including blood work). We've never had an issue making an appointment. We are so thankful to have found this vet office. Another random treat, while sitting in the waiting room waiting to get called in, I heard a voice that I clearly recognized from years of watching the NBA. Who was it? Stan Van Gundy with his beautiful dogs. I didn't want to seem over eager and I definitely didn't want to interrupt him but I was extremely giddy.

Dr. Vaughn and the other doctors and staff are awesome. For several years my poor dog had stomach issues from stress. Many other vets at other hospitals just tried the same treatments over and over. Dr. Vaughn was the first doctor who finally gave my poor baby a different treatment and it has been great. Even my cat feels more comfortable with the staff. Thank you to the great and very competent stafffor treating us like family. Cookie and Bootsie thank you as well.

I can't express enough gratitude for Lake Mary Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Alexandra Azcona-Velasquez is truly an amazing doctor .Their service is simply unparalleled, and their genuine care for both pets and their owners creates an incredibly comforting environment. Unfortunately, yesterday was a difficult day as I had to say goodbye to my beloved dog. In the midst of dealing with the loss of my husband just two weeks ago and now my dog, the compassion and support I received from Lake Mary Veterinary Clinic were truly remarkable. During such a heart-wrenching time, their staff went above and beyond to make a challenging situation a little more bearable. Their empathy and understanding were evident, and it meant the world to me. They treated my dog with the utmost respect and kindness, and they provided the same level of care and compassion to me. If you're in search of a veterinary clinic that offers not only exceptional medical care but also sincere compassion and support, I wholeheartedly recommend Lake Mary Veterinary Clinic. They have proven to be a source of comfort and understanding during one of the most difficult periods of my life. With heartfelt thanks, Tina

Got a new puppy and decided to really find a good vet place. This place was not it. The staff was very rude just like all the reviews have said. But it was the vet that really freaked me out. He must have said five or six times "I guess I should have told you, I guess I should have mentioned, I guess I should have". By then all I could think was, I guess I shouldn't have bothered coming. So they took my $70 and I'll never be back there again. Such a disappointment.
