How to Save Money at Florida Aid To Animals

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.

Compassionate staff- they take their time to explain any situation with your pet. I made a review explaining how the office manager was rude and then got this letter a few days later… I was not rude- I even said that front desk was amazing-tech and doctors great- yet expressed how I felt about the treatment by the office manager and then get fired as patients. How is this legal?

This place has the best staff and most affordable prices 😃 I couldn't believe how well this visit went. The medical assistant went above and beyond to keep my dog calm during nail trim(1st time experience) and even with all his shots. No whining, no barking or growling what so ever! Highly recommend 🥳

Lower cost veterinary service with caring staff. Our dogs and cats were cared for by them for over a decade until they passed away. I would give it 5 stars, but they increased their prices and it's about the same as many private vets in the area now, and comparable to PetShots services. They don't offer small animal care (ferrets and rabbits, etc). The waiting area is usually crowded, so if you have a reactive dog, it might be difficult for them to behave. Overall, a decent vet service for folks on a low budget.

Service was exceptional. My fur baby had to get his baby teeth pulled,and I’m happy with the outcome. I must express my gratitude to all who played a part in his procedure. Thank you 😊 #MarleysKronicles🐶

My wife and I absolutely love this vet's office our fur babies mean so much to us and this vet's office has shown them so much love! Our pup recently got fixed and the vet tech Paige called me multiple times throughout the procedure because she knew I was really worried just to keep me up-to-date and she went as far as to give him some cuddles after surgery and check up on him and made sure to call us as soon as he was ready to be picked up she let us know everything we needed to know for post-op instructions and anything to look for that would be concerning but that is just one of the many wonderful things paige has done for us And our fur babies. Paige and the rest of the staff at Florida aid to animals truly love and care for every single animal that comes through their doors! I wouldn't take my babies anywhere else that's for sure 💕
