How to Save Money at Florida Veterinary Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine

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.

I brought my GSD here for the first time a couple years ago for another opinion on Pennhip and OFA xrays that i took at my rDVM. I was worried because OFA said my dog was mildly dysplastic, but her Pennhip score was good/about breed average and she was not symptomatic at all (she is not a breeding prospect, but an athletic sport dog). Dr. Brown went over the xrays with me, examined her thoroughly and took measurements of her muscles. She made me feel at ease about my dogs results, and helps me ensure she is able to continue her activities/dog sports with no issues at our annual visits. She even sent me a document of exercises/stretches i can do with her before strenuous activities to warm her up. Several of my friends who are in dog sports also see Dr. Brown for their dogs for orthopedic check ups and care for injuries, shes a pretty well known lady! I am a technician at my dogs primary vet and recommend Dr. Brown all the time.

So glad to have Dr Brown and her staff here in Tampa area . My 2 yr old has hip dysplasia. Sad , I went to her to see what hope there was for him to live an active , long life . She is gentle and caring with my dog . She approached the situation with non- invasive, pro active protocol which included exercises to do to strengthen hips. She’s not an alarmist or kind of vet that goes straight to doomsday, or straight to surgery fix. Not going to empty your bank either ! They do take some pet insurance as well. I love her cautious yet honest approach and communication. She’s very supportive and encouraging. As treatment progressed I have taken him for in-house physical therapy and it is awesome . Staff are great, my dog trusts and works well with them. I’m already seeing improvements in my dogs gait. Highly recommended Dr Brown and her team

From the moment you open the door and through and through you know rehab is the focus. The soft rubberized (not mean slippery tile) flooring greets pups along with a friendly team. Regardless of the physical ailment the team is helpful, patient, and caring (with the pups and the humans). We love the variety of treatment options and the package discounts! Safety absolutely comes first here. I love the team will communicate with us via email and/or phone! We feel so lucky to have found Dr Brown and her amazing team!

My dog wouldn’t be happily enjoying his life without Dr. Brown. Last year, he tore his CCL and I thought his active life was over at eight years old. Luckily, I met two different dog parents who recommended Dr. Brown. For Maxwell, TPLO surgery was the best option. After surgery, we had a very thorough followup appointment with Dr. Brown, who sent along a few in-depth treatments plan options, including PT exercises and underwater treadmill. Within months, Maxwell’s muscles in his leg had grown strong enough to enjoy his normal life again. We stop in for a tune up from time to time but her prices are competitive, especially if buying packages. Thank you to Dr Brown and all the staff!
