How to Save Money at Coral Way 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.

The staff here is amazing, they treated my dog as if it was their own. My dog needed surgery and had to stay two nights at the clinic. I was given multiple calls to let me know how he was doing. I was very grateful for this. They are very good at answering any questions or concerns you may have. Great clinic with affordable prices. I will definitely keeping coming back!

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this veterinary clinic! It was a breath of fresh air after the disappointment we faced at another vet that lacked empathy for us as pet parents. From the moment we stepped foot into this clinic, we felt like our baby dog was being treated like true royalty. They truly went above and beyond to take care of all of her needs. One of the biggest advantages of this place is their extended hours of operation. Staying open until 10pm and offering overnight services made all the difference for us. It meant that our fur baby could receive the proper and thorough treatment she needed without the added stress of having to make multiple trips to and from the vet. It was a huge relief for us as pet parents. During her stay, our dog received exceptional care. The team at the clinic ensured that she was continuously monitored and provided with fluids for a period of two days. This extra attention and treatment had a remarkable impact on her pancreatitis. Considering her age, it was incredibly heartwarming to witness the humane treatment she received. Even after we brought her back home, we had to follow up numerous times for information and guidance. The staff at the clinic were always friendly and helpful, promptly providing us with all the pertinent details we needed. In particular, Rafael stood out for his unwavering kindness and attentiveness towards both us and our furry family member. A standout feature of this clinic is that it is a family-owned business. Witnessing the father and daughter working together to ensure the well-being of our precious dog truly touched our hearts. Their dedication and commitment were evident throughout our entire experience. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend this veterinary clinic to every pet owner out there. Our 100% recommendation speaks volumes about the exceptional level of care and service we received. If you're searching for a place where your furry companion will be treated with the utmost love, respect, and expertise, look no further. You and your pet will be in the best hands possible at this remarkable clinic.

Probably one of the worst vet experiences I have ever had. Arrived at 10 minutes before my 5:45pm appointment but Dr. Oscar Paez Castro attended us 30 minutes after leaving us in the room. When we were finally attended, we told him we would like a general checkup and vaccines, but we expressed we wanted to do Bordetella for another date. Despite communicating to them that we did not want to do Bordetella, he still gave my dog Bordetella. When finalizing the visit, I told him I will not be paying for a service I did not request, which he understood at first. Upon reading in between the medication, they gave us for worms and the itemized bill, I realized they charged us 35 qty when it was 14 qty on the bottle. This just shows they were trying to mask the mistake they made. I called them in regard to the cost and they left me on hold for 10 minutes, so I went back to ask in person. Front desk stated it was a system error, yet why couldn't he tell me on the phone? and please, I hardly believe that was true. I stated that so called Dr. should be out here addressing my concerns, it's not a good image to be hiding on "break" for their mistake. We also asked for a copy of my pet's medical history, but they gave us the receipt for the bills paid today. At the end of the day, we were issued a refund which I hope reflects on my account and Front Desk emailed me my pet's medical history. This was easily preventable.

I was petrified when I saw my furry baby, Mikey, not doing well. I have never seen Mikey so ill, so my husband and I rushed him to Coral Way Animal Clinic and the service has been exceptional. Mikey was well taken care of with lots of compassion and patience. I am not very trusting with anyone to leave my furry baby with, but Doctor Páez and his staff have earned my trust to take care of my furry baby. I will definitely come back here for all future services. I am a forever client. 🐾 ❤️

Iv'e been taking my dogs and cats to Dr. Paez for over 20yrs now, wayyy back when he was over at the other location before moving to this office, I remember I took my Jack Russell Milo back in 2013 in which he found out what he had when nobody knew, after I took my pincher Taz a couple years after with a liver problem in which he also saved his life and today I took my girlfriend's chihuahua and they immediately did all the tests, IV's and explained to us each procedure he needed and that he was going to stay overnight to monitor his progress. Price was reasonable (very grateful for that) not to mention that your mascot is in one or if not the best hands in all south florida, I'm telling you guys this vet knows his stuff and that's what you want in a time of emergency and desperation when your'e seeing your puppy sick every minute counts, I had that feeling earlier rushing over there crying all the way to the clinic, but I'm home now calmed knowing that our Peewee is well taken care off
