How to Save Money at Island Exotic Veterinary Care

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.

This clinic has taken great care of our bunny, Onion. The techs are attentive and ask a lot of good relevant questions, the vet is thorough in her explanations, and since there's no dogs or cats allowed, the waiting room is an awesome spot for small pets to wait anxiety-free. Staff is also patient... we are first time pet owners for ourselves (had pets of our own growing up but our first as a married couple away from home) so they are always reassuring and patient with all our questions. We would not want to take Onion anywhere else at this point.

Friendly and efficient service. My pet rabbit seemed comfortable there during his appointments, and they always treated him with much care! I also got him neutered here and they did a very good job with it, he recovered quickly from the procedure with no complications. He's a happy and healthy rabbit now! The vets explain everything about his health clearly, and answer all of my questions, and are very helpful! Prices are great too. If you are looking for a vet's office for your rabbit or any other exotic pet, I recommend them!

What a great experience. The doctors super friendly, professional, sympathetic and helpful with my pet. The care they gave was towards my Chinchilla was exceptional. They were very thorough and explained all what was done and the care that needs to follow. If you are looking for Exotic animal care this is the place! Thanks for helping Pinky.

Came here for the first time, they have signs that made it clear that you have to go in from the back. All the nurses and the doctor were really nice. It was quick and simple, i had them check up on my hamster. Just make sure you ask them if there’d be a fee for most of the stuff because they do not inform you that beforehand. Other than that everything else was excellent.
