How to Save Money at Peaceful Passings Of Ocala

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.

Dr Furgang came to give my sweet baby Chico a peaceful transition to the other side. He was almost 18 and had a cancerous mass/tumor near his liver. I'm blown away at her compassion and understanding. She talked through the entire process and even sent a sympathy card after. I will never forget that. Highly recommend.

Dr. Stacy came to our farm today. While it was a sad difficult day she made it better. For the last 3 years I ran a dog sanctuary with an older sick dog population that did not allow euthanasia. We lost 10 dogs in 3 years and after today I’m a firm believer in euthanasia. This dog was 19 and had lived a fantastic life. We were able to say goodbye and spend her last morning loving on her. She enjoyed the sun and lots of loving. The process was so easy and painless. Unlike the dogs at the sanctuary she didn’t have to go through days to weeks of pain, there was no fear in her eyes, no convulsions… just peacefully went to sleep. I cannot stress enough how this was the best end for a beloved friend of almost 20 years. Thank Dr. Stacy!

Highly recommend Dr Stacy. Kind, compassionate and understanding. She took her time to explain what each step would be and what I would see as Lily passed over the rainbow bridge. Her compassion for me as I said good bye to my best friend is something that everyone should experience. Her tenderness with Lily made me so very thankful that I found her to help with this difficult decision. Thank you Dr Stacy.

Our dog Shinyang wasn't sick; she was just very old at 16y/o. She was deaf, almost blind, incontinent, and had bad arthritis. She had a hard time walking and starting to fall more and more. The pain medicine was no longer enough. We knew it was time, but she hated the vet's office and always trembled like a 9.0 earthquake when there. We didn't want her last moments to be in fear at a place she hated. A friend told us about Peaceful Passings of Ocala, an in home euthanasia service. Dr Stacy Furgang was phenomenal with a great bedside manor, which helped put us at ease. She was patient and explained everything. Shinyang was very relaxed around her and at peace laying on her own floor while we held her. The first shot was a sedative to put her under. As it took effect but still awake, I could see the relief of not being in pain come across her face as her eyes slowly closed. It was beautiful. Dr Furgang was very patient to make sure the sedative had fully taken effect. She kept talking to us about our Shinyang, which helped us not break down. The next shot was the most Peaceful Passing I've ever witnessed, and I am so grateful this service exists. Shinyang passed in our arms in the only home she had ever known. We can't thank Dr Stacy Furgang enough for her tenderness and compassion for Shinyang and us. Thank you.

Very happy with your service during one of my saddest moments. They did a great job on the box with my pet's ashes and they included a bookmark with flower seeds at the top so I can have some flowers to remember my girl. Thank you all for your help during this difficult time.
