How to Save Money at alexis baffa

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 BEST! Dr. Baffa has been our pets veterinarian for 7 years. We first met her when we brought our 1 year old Persian cat to her. We were desperately trying to figure out what what was ailing her. She was bleeding all over our house without any explanation. After countless vet visits, medical tests and thousands of dollars spent, we found Dr. Baffa. She took one look at her and said, she just has some stress and needs short term anxiety medicine. After three months on the meds, she was 100% better! Dr. Baffa was working at another vets office at that time and she left to start her own practice, I had no idea where she went. Five years later we bought a puppy and he came with a health guarantee and by chance, Dr. Baffa was the Vet that was assigned to our puppy! I was so excited! We have two Persian cats and one tea cup yorkie who all see Dr. Baffa. I wouldn’t even think of bringing any of my pets elsewhere. We love her! ♥️

It was our fist time visiting Dr. Baffa. During COVID, you are not allowed in the office. However, Dr. Baffa spoke to us before and after her examination of our pet. She answered ALL of our questions and was very thorough. We were happy with the service!
