How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Animal Medical 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.

We have been bringing all of our kitties here for years; we have three! Dr Young is amazing! He is so patient, caring and knowledgeable. KitKat is getting older, and Dr Young always takes the time to discuss the best treatment plan for us! Love this place ❤️

I'm so thankful for Dr. Long and the staff at Animal Medical Clinic. I called early on a Tuesday morning (2/28/23) expressing concerns I had about my 16 year old Yellow Labrador. After a couple of assessment questions, I was instructed to bring her in right away. I knew in my heart that the news would not be good. After examining my Jenny, Dr. Long had assessed there was the possibility of a ruptured spleen. He offered several tests as an option, but I knew in my heart it was time to let her go. I was a mess. They were all so gracious with me as I wept over my Jenny, giving me ample time to grieve my loss in the examining room. They even brought blankets in so I could lie next to her, hold her, and say goodbye. I chose to have a private cremation so I could have her ashes with me. The turnaround time was fast, and she was back home within the week. I was pleasantly surprised to find they had done a cast of her paw 🐾 The packaging, the box, and the card were all so beautiful and touching. I'm so happy to have her home with me forever. My only regret is that Dr. Long stated Jenny was in pain, and he would sedate her before bringing her back to the exam room. I had asked him not to sedate her before I could see her again. He explained he was not putting her down, just sedating her. My deepest regret is the last time I saw her awake and alert she was being wheeled into the back. I could see that she was looking around for me. The next time I saw her she was sedated, I couldn't see her eyes and I don't know for sure she knew I was there. I wish I had done a Verte job of advocating for myself and Jenny. Other than that, they made an extremely painful experience as comforting as it could be. I would highly recommend Animal Medical Clinic.

I absolutely love everything about this clinic. All are friendly, caring and compassionate. My precious Ziggy got lymphoma, and Dr. Young has not only treated Ziggy but me as well. If you are looking for a new vet, you have found it!!

I was deeply touched to find a cast of her paw 🐾 included with her box of ashes. My only regret was that I allowed them to sedate her before they brought her into the room with me. The last time I saw her awake was when they were wheeling her into the back to be examined. Next time, I will advocate better for my wishes to be heard.

I have taken multiple pets to AMC and seen multiple different doctors and each time I have a good experience. They don't do testing that isn't truly needed and therefore my bill is always reasonable compared to other clinics I have been to who want to do every test possible. Some of the meds or products are marked up a little or a lot, but they will price match if you ask and find it cheaper elsewhere like on chewy. I have never had a long wait in the waiting room at AMC. When I brought in a cat that was difficult to handle, they took the time to listen to me about the best way to handle her and everything went smoothly! I have been turned away by other vets who couldn't figure out a way to handle her or didn't listen to my advice about it. 4 stars instead of 5 because sometimes there is a receptionist who is kinda rude and difficult to deal with which greatly affects the care of the pet sometimes. But this is probably just one person in the office. It's something that could be and should be addressed as receptions are the face of the business. Certain vets have limited hours which can make scheduling difficult but you can be seen by a different vet if need be. There have been times where they have been able to squeeze me in same day (sometimes urgent care fee, sometimes not) and that is always appreciated! They have some evening and Saturday hours which is nice. They also have a clinic in Indialantic which shares records with this clinic. Sometimes one clinic will have openings if the other one doesn't, then you can get your pet in sooner. I will keep taking my pets here!
