How to Save Money at St. Francis 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.

I have been taking my doggie and cats to St. Francis Vet Clinic for more than 15 years. I love and loved my pets more than words can say, and I wouldn’t be going back for this long if I didn’t trust Dr. Martinez and his team 100%. Best veterinarian in town!! Thank you for always being there for my little furry babies!

Excellent Vet & wonderful staff. We have been taking our cats & dogs to Dr. Martinez for many, many years; he is an outstanding veterinarian: very knowledgeable, extremely experienced, and compassionate at all times. Thank you Dr. Martinez for all you do. We appreciate you.

This is the worst veterinary clinic I have ever gone to. I took my dog to this place and they told me the price for cleaning his anal glands was 25 dollars. They said this was all they would charge me and it was fine with me. But, things took a turn for the worse. First, they made me hold my dog during the entire procedure like if I worked there as an assistant. Second, while the process was being done a “doctor” walked in without even being called trying to get me to buy a bunch of medicine which my dog didn’t need and tried to make my dog sound like it had infections which is a lie and he told me this without even looking at my dog. After this the lady at the front charged me instead of 25, she charged 75. I asked her why and she said the extra 50 dollars was due to a medical “consultation” even though the doctor didn’t examine my dog. And I didn’t even ask for the doctor in the first place. Stay away from this SCAM! There’s a billion better other clinics in Kendall.

My babies passed on in 2021 and 2022 at almost 16 years of age, each; after having years of amazing care at St. Francis. I just got a new baby and we brought him back to St. Francis. There is no other place like this! I trust Dr. Martinez 100%!

We had such an amazing experience with our 8 week old Shih Tzu. The staff is super friendly, we felt really comfortable and happy to know we can trust them around our puppy. We’re schedule to come back next month and are looking forward to our next visit. Thank you so much.
