How to Save Money at GOPET 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.

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. Erick and his team at the GOPET vet clinic deserve our highest praise for the outstanding care they provided to our cherished cat, Borisych. With years of experience, Dr. Erick's expertise is evident in his personalized approach and clear communication. From the warm welcome we received upon arrival to the comprehensive and compassionate treatment Borisych got, every aspect of our experience was top-notch. Dr. Erick's knowledge and ability to explain medical details in layman's terms were impressive and reassuring. What truly sets this clinic apart is the team's genuine love for animals. Every staff member displayed a deep commitment to pets' well-being, making the entire experience comforting. For those seeking exceptional veterinary care, we wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Erick's clinic. Thank you, Dr. Erick and team, for your remarkable service!

GOPET Hospital of North Miami is the most reliable and incredible clinic for your pet care. Doctor Gutierrez and the staff are amazing. The prices are so low and the care that they put in my doggie and my old cat (they both went to surgery ) is incredible. I am very happy to have found this clinic for my little kids

2nd review having now attended for over a year. I have 2 cats of my own who have frequented this exceptional office. 4 prior vets couldn’t find a problem w/my 6 year old cat, I was desperate & Dr.Gutierrez gave me his hypothesis before even seeing her, just by listening. He was correct. She was allergic to all food but *also allergic to other outdoor/indoor things, so she now requires Claritin 2ce daily. She has never been so healthy. She used to have UTIs and dermatitis constantly throwing up, we tried everything for years. Never has a vet helped me minimize cost and maximize the health of my babies. Why the second review? I have since requested the help of this vet in 2 desperate situations, as I try to rescue or rehabilitate animals on the side. one dog required an immediate appointment and was accommodated- I think the staff came in early. The other, a cat who was found that wasn’t going to make it. I received a call directly from the vet involving both situations, actively helping me try to help these neglected animals. I couldn’t sing the praises of Dr. Eric and his staff any louder than I already am. He is beyond exceptional. Beyond ethical. My entire family (spread around the country and all animal rescuers) have repeatedly told me that they wish they had a vet like I have here. From the random questions and emails and phone calls, the last minute appointments (I obviously try very hard to avoid bc it’s rude) - my animals and i have always been treated with such consideration and kindness. Eric Gutierrez has made a massive difference in our lives, and anyone who loves their furry children knows the tremendous impact that a vet makes on your family. This one has absolutely gone above and beyond for mine, time and time again.

I’m very happy with GOPET hospital. I’ve been there twice so far. Have been switching vets over the past 3 years because I was never really convinced and happy with other veterinarians in Miami. I experienced excellent service and very good handling of my cat at GOPET. The two times I went there there were with different doctors and nurses and they all are personable, friendly and even interested in your pet. Will be my go-to vet from now on. Keep up the great attitude!
