How to Save Money at Animal Clinic of Village Square
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.

We met Dr. Puig several years ago thanks to our friend Harriet, and feel very fortunate. We had several dogs who Dr. Puig and his staff took care of during the past few years. We now have Czar, who is a 4 year old and 82 lbs terrier mix (predominantly pit bull), who we adopted about 4 months ago and who never really spent much time at the vet before he came to us. He has to go to see Dr. Puig regularly as he has a skin condition, he needs medications and to be monitored, and of course he acts up as he is scared and not used to it. Dr. Puig knows how to approach every dog, including our Czar, and earn their trust and love. Knowledgeable, caring and professional, I trust 100% the opinion I get from Dr. Puig. Highly recommend for your beloved pets

No better vet and staff! Dr. Puig and his staff (esp. Kristell) are absolutely the best! They are efficient, caring and dedicated. The professionalism, promptness and thoughtfulness they showed to me and my cat was above and beyond. International travel with a pet can be challenging, but Kristell knew everything and helped guide and direct me to ensure an efficient process. When we waiting for the documentation from the USDA, Dr. Puig was like a hawk chasing them to ensure a timely departure. They followed up again to ensure a safe departure of our cat. The team was 100% beyond professional and amazing! Would definetly recommend and use without any hesitation. Very fairly priced also. Thank you again Dr. Puig and Kristell :) Love, Yuki

Dr Puig is very professional and really cares for his pet patients. His staff is very customer oriented and congenial. My daughter and I decided to give him a try, as our pet clinic is like three miles from here, Dr Puig exceeded our expectations. Glad to have found such a great veterinarian doctor, so close to our home. Look forward bringing my Tico and Charlie, my daughter’s pet to his clinic for further pets wellness care. Mrs Ruz

I have trusted my dogs' health to Dr Puig and his amazing staff now for 8 years and counting. Dr Puig even kept a 24 hour when my boy faced a life threatening illness. These great people are nothing shy of life savers. Give them a chance to care for your pet and you'll know what I mean!
