How to Save Money at Treasure Coast Animal Emergency and Specialty 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.

The staff was very pleasant and welcoming to us when we came in! The lobby and property is very well set up to access despite road work being present. Overall a very nice set up. The reason for the star loss is simple. The vet was motivated to make money. She made a call for us to get cheaper help, which was decent, but still made me borrow $65 from my 15 year old to tell me this information. When she learned how bankrupt my family was, I feel she should have referred us to the Humane Society first and simply told us she can’t help us if we don’t have money instead of collecting the visiting fee. I don’t even make $65 a day and I saw this practice make over $750 in the hour I was there. I had over 10 dogs to care for and have to accept donations just to feed them and I was practically begging everyone to spay this rescued animal so we don’t get yet another litter of puppies! When I adopted her, she was pregnant already and I didn’t know. I spent over $12,000 rescuing a whole litter of giant Mastiffs that I didn’t plan or know about. I just feel like this vet could care a little more about the people who rescue and rehab animals. Because most of the time, we don’t get paid.

My dog was at the end of his life and we had to make the heartbreaking decision to humanely euthanize him. The staff was caring and empathetic. They made our boy's final moments one of love and peace. They took care of everything so we could go home and grieve. To my great surprise and joy, they sent us a condolence card with his four paw prints and his nose print. They even made a claw print of his paw. I will treasure these forever. These wonderful people have my deepest thanks and the love of my family. I would trust any future pets to their care. Thank you so much for looking after Tolkien.

I gave 5 stars simply because they deserve it. The assistant to the Dr was very gracious and welcoming when we arrived. You could tell she cared about our puppy. A huge shoutout to Dr. Cail for being great as well. At that time at night, she was not in a hurry, she took a lot of time with us, explained what was going on, made a call to our primary vet to question meds, she prescribed medications and took the time to explain how to administer, she explained the care we had to do at home to get him healed up quickly. Dr. Cail is very thorough, compassionate and very personable. You can tell she loves animals. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I wanted to say thank you to TCAE. We came in Sunday as an emergency. Our sweet boy Harley was having trouble breathing. Thank you to Dr. Cail, Lindsey and the rest of the staff for your attentiveness, caring and compassion. We are so grateful for all of you. My past experience a few years ago was not a great one, but due to the urgency of our situation on Sunday I made the decision to come to TCAE. Unfortunately Harley’s situation was not a fixable one, we would be losing him regardless of our choice of treatment. Dr. Cail was up front, honest, calm, compassionate, and explained things and let us ask questions we needed to ask. I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us to let our sweet boy pass to the other side in a calm, peaceful, respectful and pain free manor. - Michelle Gable

Thankful for credit cards and the doctors of this emergency vet hospital. We almost lost our precious 1 year old British lab to Lepto. If it wasnt for the fast acting staff and doctors at Treasure Coast we would have. When our playful pup just laid in bed we called to ask for advice since it was Saturday and our regular vet was closed. They convinced us to come in and lucky for Duke we did. He stayed for three days hooked up to IVs and getting tested. We were able to visit him which made us less worried. Hopefully we never need a vet ER again. But, we know a great one if we ever do. Thank you so much.
