How to Save Money at UrgentVet - The Villages
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.

Great facility great staff. The staff was so knowledgeable and patient with Toby and listened to all my cocerns. Great pricing for an urgent care facility. This is the vet I prefer when my regular vet is unavailable. I have personally brought my own dogs been here three times and they treat my own dogs with such love a d care. This is the first time I have brought two of my borders. Little Toby had diareaha and vomiting and was very sick. They took great care of him and I am seeing great results in just one day. Thank you

I can’t thank UrgentVet in the villages enough for helping me when my dog Diesel was hurt. It all happened so fast and I called them, arrived and they helped make him as comfortable as he could be. Dr. Sanchez was very professional but also kind and walked me through all of the options and the support staff like Jordan were very kind. Ultimately I had to put Diesel to sleep and they were very sensitive to how awful this scenario was and let me have as much time as I wanted with my baby. It’s been 8 days since Diesel passed and I went to pick up his ashes and was again impressed with what I received. A lovely wooden urn, nameplate and paw imprint. Thank you for all you do. It was a truly awful day and I really appreciate the kindness you provided.

Thank you for taking care of my baby and being available. Local vet had no available appointments the wait was 2 weeks. The process to make an appointment was the easiest the check-in was prompt. Your professional and kindness is outstanding.

We visited on July 4th, with our Yorkie Hazel. She had been seen by our primary vet twice in the past week, without improvement for a nasty ear infection. Since our Vet was not making any changes in her care plan and she appeared to be getting worse, we brought her to Urgent Vet. Dr. did another cytology and said it was a different kind of infection, than her primary vet was treating for. Our poor little girl suffered miserably for the past week until we got this new treatment plan. As of this morning ( 2 days later) her outer ear is no longer bright red. Ears look white with just a little pink going into the canal. She is wagging her tail again and is sleeping soundly. We have turned a corner. Super grateful for the care she received. Hazel says "thanks x million"!
