How to Save Money at Interlachen 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.

Dr. Andy and his staff are great! Very professional, polite, and knowledgeable about what they do. I recently took my cat Hopper for his last round of vaccinations and they got us in and out very quickly. He also had an ulcer break out on his face and Dr. Andy informed me of all the possible causes and how to handle it. It may be hard to hear sometimes but I appreciate how honest he is with owners. Him and his office were incredibly kind and helpful with my little guy’s treatment. Thank you Dr. Andy!

If you are looking for an excellent place for your furry family, THIS IS THE BEST PLACE. Staring with Lauren, she is beautiful, kind and caring, following with Alejandro, he is kind, professional and well prepared, and last but no least, the best doctor, Doctor Andy! I am so grateful 🙏🏻 that I went there with my Dolly that I wish, all of you that are reading this and take very good care of your pet family can go there as soon as possible. I felt so many hope, positive vibes, so fresh air, it was unbelievable. Prices? Best in town. Very clean, impeccable place. 👌🏻 From today, I am part of the IAH (Interlachen Animal Hospital) Family.🐾 🐈🐈‍⬛🐕🐕

Took one of my dogs here last year for a tooth cleaning and thought Dr. Andy was good. I called to schedule an appointment for the doctor to check a bump on his tail. The office refused to schedule the appointment because I had my dog vaccinated at a different vet location than their office. They did not explain why this impacted the Doctors ability to see my dog. I was not advised this would be an issue when I previously took my dog to be examined last year. They promptly hung up on me and I thought the call disconnected by accident. I called back and left a message with no response. I called a third time before the issue was explained.

If you’re looking for an animal hospital with phenomenal care and awesome professionalism for your fur babies, look no further! After moving from Miami, I was eager looking for a new vet for my yorkie Didi, and thankfully, I was introduced to Interlachen animal hospital & Dr. Andy. Didi absolutely LOVES Dr. Andy and everyone at Interlachen. She’s usually an anxious girl, but she is so happy & at ease there, because how loving the staff are at the hospital. Thank you Dr. Andy, Cici & all Interlachen family for being the best !!! :)

I brought my cat here for a second opinion after a different vet told me she had a disease but she had no signs of said disease. The vet here looked thoroughly for any signs of anything and was able to tell me she only had a virus. She stayed over night at the vet and I got her back the next morning and she obviously felt better then when I brought her. The vet cares about our animals and does what he can and makes sure you understand what he's telling you and makes sure you understand how to best fix the problem. The environment is also incredibly friendly, the other people working there obviously get along and talk to the vet as if being friends. I'm glad I could go to such an enviting environment filled with amazing people that are doing the best for my pets. I highly recommend, I will continue bringing my pets here if needed in the future
