How to Save Money at Maricamp 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.

I brought my family dog Atlas into Maricamp Animal Hospital a few weeks ago for a check up on his throat and man was I impressed. The technician Jenna was very informative and polite as well as patient when answering all of questions. Jenna gave the ultimate customer service around. Any time I go back I will definitely ask for Jenna to be my dog’s technician.

Best Veterinarian I have been to in Ocala. They aren't pushing unnecessary services and always there for us in emergencies. They have an amazing reward program that saves us money since we had four dogs. When one of my dogs was seriously sick, they recommended a specialist in Gainesville, not associate with UF and they were outstanding!! They are all about saving animals and we are blessed to have found them. There is a good reason for them being nominated best Vets for 352's best!!

This is by far the best vet clinic I have been to. They are all very nice and polite, listen to your needs while taking care of your loved ones. If you are looking for someone that cares about your fur baby's as much as you then this is the place. Keep up the great work. Rockstars are working in this location.

Stephanie (front office) is the greatest! She's always handled any extra request I've had, no problem. Dr O'Brien is so sweet & understanding. And they've never pushed little extras. Maxwell had been our tech several times & explains things & is sure you understand. I bring all 8 of my babies here. Update 5-2023 they went through losing one of our kitties to cancer with us & held our hands the whole time. Dr Hodges is newer to the team & literally Sat down with us to talk about it twice, taking extra time since we were his last appt. We again had Maxwell as our tech. We recently had John as our tech for a few little things & he's always giving me tips & tricks on things we can do at home. Dr Otero is also amazing. We "saw" her a lot when my Chi had one surgery & the clinic was still under COVID protocol. I've never felt ripped off, pushed to do extras, or like I didn't understand what was going on. I can't recommend them enough! Ty all for everything you do!

Me and my dog were helped by a wonderful woman named Jenna, she truely went above and beyond with the care and effort she put into making sure me and my puppy were happy and healthy. She gave me incredibly helpful advice on how to be a good fur-mom to my fur-baby and made sure my dog felt welcomed and safe too. Loved my time there, I will be going back to Maricamp Animal Hospital monthly because I trust them to look after my pup.
