How to Save Money at Welleby Veterinary 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.

Amazing vet! My puppy was having diarrhea and vomiting for 3 days. On the 3rd day, he started having bloody diarrhea. I didn't want to take him to one of these emergency hospitals where they are money hungry and don't care about your animal. I found Welleby and I thought i would give them a try. My dog's previous vet would not help me. As soon as I came in, staff was super kind and I did not wait a lot. I explained what was going on and they drew blood on my baby. Dr. Ramirez is so knowledgeable and kind. She really cares! She gave me a treatment plan for my pup. I left with a couple of stuff and towards the nighttime, my pup's stool was perfect again! I am so happy I brought him here!! I definitely would recommend Welleby Vet to anyone! ❤️

Bringing my baby here was the best decision I’ve ever made for her health. My French bill dog was highly dehydrated and not eating for almost three full days. She stayed at this vet for a few hours to get all her tests and examinations done. Once I picked her up and followed the medication plan, she returned to 100% the next day. I appreciate a good and trusting vet that does not take advantage of the pet owner. Thanks for all the help!

Excellent service, truly. Very happy with the entire staff; all very knowledgable! Surpassed all my expectations and they were sooo thorough with my new Cavalier puppy, Jiro. This wasn't our first rodeo... we have been to tons of places before we found our prior vet and to be honest, I was a bit hesitant in trying a new place....I do know a good vet, when I come across one. Do not hesitate to bring your pets here. They see exotic pets as well, as I was informed they have 3 exotic pet vets! Super cool and a rarity in South Florida! I see why many folks make a far drive, if necessary, to bring their beloved pets here. The facility was impressive and top notch! I was particularly impressed with their "low stress" approach to vaccines, which was a very pleasant first for me! I knew from that moment and from the care we received, I had to switch vets. I will be bringing all of my pets to continue their care here. The staff in it's entirety, really care for the animals and families here. This is definitely a special place and I will be back, even after our family move (about an hour and a half away).... I was just blown away... they really earned my trust and loyalty here.

I don't think anything could have been improved to make it better on our visit. I was overjoyed when they got Ozzy to move his bowels. At 3 weeks old I know how important it is to make sure we are doing it properly. It was good to know that we were doing it correctly but need to have patience as it is not always easy. They clearly explained what we need to know and what to expect.
