How to Save Money at Veterinary Neurology
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 are beyond grateful for the care and compassion Dr. Blackmore provided to our dog during such a difficult time. From the very beginning, she was kind, patient, and incredibly thorough—helping us understand every step of the process with empathy and honesty. When we were faced with making the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye, Dr. Blackmore handled everything with such grace and tenderness. Her support meant the world to us, and we truly felt that she cared for our dog as if he were her own. Thank you, Dr. Blackmore, for being not just an exceptional neurologist, but a truly compassionate human being. We will never forget what you did for our family.

I usually don’t leave reviews, but Dr. Julia Blackmore deserves it. I drove all the way from Miami to see her, a 2 hour ride. My little dog had an incident where he couldn’t walk for a few hours. After going to the regular vet, he recommended I go to a veterinary neurologist. I called around my area, everyone was telling me on the phone they could charge up to $5,000 to find out what was wrong with him. They also would not be friendly or ask how my pet was. I ended up calling this vet, Dr. Julia Blackmore and the receptionist/assistant is so sweet and very caring. She scheduled an appointment for the following day, and needless to say the doctor is amazing. She didn’t think it was necessary at that point in time to do any testing as she was sure what it was. Sent him a prescription and would call daily to check in with me and ask how he is. To this day, I still speak to her when he needs to take other meds just to see if it would be okay. She’s amazing.

My experience was AMAZING!! Cannot recommend enough! Dr. Blackmore is the kindest, most caring, compassionate vet I have ever met and she spent so much time explaining and going into detail. Immediately put my mind at ease. This woman deserves awards!! After having a negative experience with BluePearl, this is the only veterinary neurologist I recommend. It is so worth the drive (2.5 hours for us). If you are on the fence, don’t be! From the moment you call and make the appointment, your pet will be in the best hands :-)

Earlier this year my precious kitty was on death's door, and after taking her to 3 other veterinarians and veterinary specialists who had no idea what was going on or what to do, Dr. Blackmore is the one who saved her life!! Not only did she save my "miracle kitty" (as she called my Yuki), but she called me several times after to see how she was doing!! This practice goes above and beyond, and Dr. Blackmore is an expert in her field. I drove from Brevard County to see her and it was so worth it! Thank you, Dr. Blackmore and team, for saving Yuki.

Dr. Blackmore and Lisa are not only brilliant at what they do, but they are the most compassionate and caring people I have ever met. Not only did Dr. Blackmore save my dog's life, she taught me tricks and tips to help make caring for my dog easier. She is the most welcoming, sincere, kindest person I have ever met and I feel blessed that she was able to help me during a very hard time.
