How to Save Money at Kendall Pointe Animal Hospital
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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.

This clinic is amazing! The facility is always clean and the ladies at the front desk are super nice. They saved my daighrer’s dog from the canine cough virus and mine when she got contaiged too. Dr. Gallardo and his team of doctors, the nurses and the rest of the staff members are wonderful, caring people. Luna and Millie are well thanks to their care! My daugthers dog, Luna, also needed surgery for one of her eyes and they did everything in their power to save her from loosing the eye. This clinic has earned the gratitude and the love of my family forever!

I can’t express how thankful I am to Dr. Gallardo. All staff members at this practice went above and beyond to care for my dog. On March of this year, they saved my dogs love after we adopted her from MD Animal service at Doral, and she developed the canine cough virus. My dog was hospitalized for 5 days there and they saved her life! A month ago she hurt her left eye and Dr. Gallardo performed surgery on her twice, one to correct her damaged eyelid and the second one to correct her ectropion. He saved my baby’s eye! I love this clinic and the people that work there. The girls at the front desk reached out often to find out how was she recovering from surgery at home, they were always available when I called needing assistance or to make appointments. They have always explained the treatments they have to perform, the medicines I have to give at home, and how the recovery process will be with details. LUNA IS ALIVE AND WELL THANKS TO THE CARE OF THE DOCTORS AT THIS CLINIC!

June 2023: I wish I could write a review each time I bring my baby in. This hospital is an absolute blessing for pet parents ❤️ and yet again Dr. Gallardo and Dr. Puron helped my baby 🙏🏻 I thank you so so much! the way they treat each patient and their parents are absolutely amazing. Always so understanding and you can tell that each doctor really cares. This time my baby had to spent 5 days in the ER. And I am so blessed that this hospital is close by. Sending a “thank you” to all the doctors and techs who works in this hospital. Thank you so so much for your care and ability to help our fur babies. Bunny is happy at home and waiting on his internal medicine doctor appt next week 🙏🏻 April 2023: I am beyond grateful to the kind attentive doctors Gallardo and Puron. This is our second time at this ER and they nurse my boi back to me ❤️ you can see how they love and care for every pet that is there. Also I appreciate the patience that all the team have with the pet parents as some of us (I’m one of them for sure) are Paranoid parents. Want time you call for the updates they are providing them for you. This is truly amazing how they keep up with all the patients. And I mostly love that you can come and visit your fur baby anytime while they are nursing them back to normal. Thank you so much for helping Bunny again! ❤️ this time we came in with the critically low potassium and within 24 hrs I was able to recognize my baby again ❤️ we still have some time to go but with these amazing doctors and staff the road is clear ❤️ thank you so so much. The pics are at admitting, then after 12 hrs and the last one where he’s sitting down 24 hrs ❤️🙏🏻

This place is amazing! The doctors really care and the staff is wonderful! I had to take two of my cats (at different times) and Libby was extremely helpful both times. Dr.Soca is wonderful and she took care of my kitty. She sent me home with everything I needed and anytime I had questions, I would call and her + staff were happy to help and answer my aftercare questions. I would recommend taking your cats here not only for emergencies, but routine checks as well. Amazing vets and staff!
