How to Save Money at Marano Animal 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.

They are the absolute best Dr and team. My baby was sick and it was a Friday they fit us in to take care of her. I've had a few vets in Venice and am so glad I found these guys! I would highly recommend. And very fair on pricing. Total 5 star and more!

Jason and his staff are the best vet around. He gets down on the floor with your dog to examine them and is very through with explanations, treatments, conditions and questions I have about my pets. I used to come all the way down here from Sarasota because he came so highly recommended. Sometimes there is a bit of a wait during "season" but it's worth it...thanks Dr. Marano!

Update We now have a Pomsky name Chloe she's 8wks old in these pics When we brought her in for a checkup Dr Marano was amazing got right down on the floor to great her. He showed her so much love💓He staff is just as amazing. I would highly recommend Dr Marano to everyone❣️ We were referred to Dr Marano by friends. Our Baby girl Trixie was 15 and her health was failing They are hands down the most compassionate. We've only had the pleasure of going here 3x our beautiful baby Girl crossed the Rainbow 🌈 last week she was 2months shy of 16 yrs old 😭

One of the best if not the best animal doctors in Florida. Unlike many doctors, Dr. Jason actually takes the time to listen to your concerns and works with you to tailor a plan of treatment that includes all medical options not just one size fits all. Can't say enough good things.
