How to Save Money at Tuscawilla Oaks 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.

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.

Our munchkins, Mac and Cheese always get great care and service here. Everyone is always so pleasant and caring. The boys love Dr. McPherson.

I used to take my lab here 18 years ago when I lived on this side of town and now that I have my frenchie I drive 45 min to see Dr McPherson! I trust her knowledge and experience 100%. She is fantastic! Adding pics of them below. My lab passed in 2014 and I got my frenchie in late 2022. 🐾🐾

The wife and I have been bringing our two pups to TOAH for the past year and a half. We have nothing but the highest praise for both the doctors and staff at this facility. Clean, efficient, and most importantly caring. With routine check ups and post surgical visits, I cannot recommend any other vet before TOAH.

We have taken our Belgian Malinois here since we got her as a puppy. We’ve had such great experiences with all aspects of this vet that we’ve now switched our 12 year old mutt over to this vet. The TOAH team is exceptional, from the front desk to Dr. McPherson & Dr. Fullenwider. Charges and care plans are always clearly explained. The entire kennel team is a pleasure. Thank you Isabella, Kyla, and Rachael for always helping me schedule day play/boarding and taking care of our high energy pup. Thank you Amy, Sierra, and Victoria, too, for your patience and care for our puppy. We love the convenience of the TOAH app, and all the little touches that make each visit unique or personal, like the “boarding report card.” We recently boarded our Belgian here during our wedding and we didn’t have to think twice about the decision. The TOAH kennel put together the sweetest card from our pup. Highly recommend this vet for your pets!

In our time at TOAH with our kitten, Dr. Crawford has insisted on treatment after treatment without properly testing in between. She has ordered for deworming multiple times without doing fecal checks. The last time I was in, I asked her to please check the sample as the office had now asked me to bring one in twice and it was not tested. She refused. Our rescue kitten's records show that she entered that he tested positive for roundworms at that appointment. But without any testing, how could that be possible? Crawford also diagnosed my kitten with toxoplasmosis without doing any of the required testing, charged me for multiple medications, and told me I would need two additional appointments, coming out to SIX total just to get my rescued kitten vaxxed and dewormed from the streets. Unfortunately, after multiple questionable decisions made by Crawford, I called to get the opinion of another vet. They told me to get my kitten to another vet and not return to TOAH immediately. They explained that it was apparent that Crawford was throwing out scary diagnoses and calling for unnecessary treatments in order to make more money. Crawford could also benefit from improved tableside manners, as snickering, questioning routine treatments from other vets, and giving attitude towards genuine concerned questions is not the way to keep patients coming back. That being said, this facility looks nice, but they do a lot of questionable things. They make you sign an invoice to agree to pay for services your pet has not been screened for yet and don't offer an itemized receipt when you leave. They called my family member on speaker phone in the lobby to verify that she knew me and that I was supposed to have this animal, despite her being at the last appointment WITH ME. Their recordkeeping is all over the place, telling me my cat was dewormed once, then four times, and then their app showing they won't test for deworming success until 2024. I highly recommend that you find another place to take care of your animals. My problems have been communicated by both myself and my mother-in-law, a regular patient of theirs, and they have made no efforts to make it right.
