How to Save Money at Seiler 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. Robert Tannhauser at Seiler Animal Hospital is truly an exceptional veterinarian, and I can’t say enough good things about the care he provided for our beloved 8 year old golden retriever, Bailey. From the very beginning, Dr. Tannhauser demonstrated an incredible level of expertise and attention to detail. He was remarkably accurate in diagnosing Bailey’s nasal cancer—something that could have easily been missed or delayed. His thoroughness gave us clarity during a very uncertain and emotional time, and we felt confident that Bailey was in the best possible hands. What stood out just as much as his skill was his compassion. Dr. Tannhauser took the time to walk us through every step of the process, patiently answering our questions and helping us understand all of our options. He treated Bailey with such gentleness and kindness, and it was clear that he genuinely cares about both his patients and their families. Ultimately, we decided to go ahead with targeted radiation treatment at an animal cancer specialist and the chance that it might be able to give us another 2 to 4 years with her. Unfortunately, after initially doing well it appeared the cancer had rapidly spread & we had to make the difficult decision to put her down. Navigating a serious diagnosis like this is never easy, but Dr. Tannhauser made the journey far more manageable with his support, honesty, and empathy. We are incredibly grateful for the care he provided and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly compassionate veterinarian. We’ve been taking our pets there for a couple of decades and all of the vets have been very helpful and caring. Bailey always loved her visits there.

We recently rescued a kitten and took him in for his regular vaccines, only to discover he had a severe gum and dental infection, along with a possible superimposed upper respiratory infection. The Humane Society told us it was urgent and that he needed to be seen right away. Seiler Animal Hospital was able to fit Baker in the same day. From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly kind and helpful. I could tell they truly cared about their patients. The front desk, the vet techs, and Dr. Highley all provided wonderful service. We were seen quickly and sent home with antibiotics, and Baker is already doing so much better—he has so much more energy now. We’re grateful for the care he received and happy to have found a team we’re excited to continue with. (pricing was extremely reasonable as well)

This is a review nobody wants to write. We said goodbye to our sweet girl Megan yesterday. She gave us 15 of her 17 years and filled our hearts and home with love and kisses. We’ve been at Seiler since we moved to Pompano Beach in 2021. I really can’t say enough about the staff, from the receptionist’s to the techs to the Vets. Dr Morales in particular has been beyond wonderful. I’ve had dogs all my life and without hesitation I can say she is the absolute best of the best. She exudes compassion and genuinely loves the animals she cares for. Beyond that she’s a gifted clinician and although the vet was not always Megan’s favorite place to be she was always happy to see Dr Morales as evidenced by robust tail wags and and kisses, with obvious trust, and comfortable in her care. I will miss her and all the folks at Seiler. If another dog ever finds us I know exactly where to go for the best possible care. Thank you for making an impossibly difficult experience one that I can look back on without regret in a space that was filled with love.

I'd like to take this opportunity to SINCERELY thank Dr. Silva at Seiler Animal Hospital and Dr. David Spranklin, the orthopedic surgeon on my dog, an 8yo Maltese. My dog tore her ACL just by being her normal happy self in late November 2025. We went to see Dr. Silva and her diagnosis was precise and confident. Dr. Silva recommended TPLO surgery for her. She patiently explained to me my dog's current condition with her ACL injury, the anatomy of her knee and how the TPLO procedure can benefit her future mobility and functions. Due to the price tag of this TPLO surgery, I went and obtained 2 more consultations. Some other vets recommended a less expensive surgery (but more temporary) and when I brought these ideas to Dr. Silva as alternatives to TPLO, Dr. Silva patiently and professionally explained to me why TPLO's long term benefits outweigh the other procedures. I honestly wanted to save $1500 by doing the procedure elsewhere but THANK GOODNESS that I decided to just bite the bullet and just get this TPLO procedure done at Seiler. This is actually the best decision I've made for my beloved dog. Afterall, my dog has been seeing the vets at Seiler since when she was just months old. More importantly is that she experienced complications (infections) 2 weeks after the surgery - and it was my fault. The fact that Seiler is just across the street from where we live and that they open 7 days a week are a HUGE PLUS and relief!! The surgery went SUPER well. My dog was alert the very next day. She was moving, though slowly, the very next day after the surgery. I could see her progressing day by day, little by little. I recorded her daily activities log with pictures and videos, what she ate and how much, what time she did #1 and #2, what time did I administered to her what medicine, what time I exercise her injured leg, all were documented. I thought I was the best parent any dog could ask for but it was because of me not putting the cone over her head enough time that has given my dog opportunities to lick her surgical wound which later on developed into an infection. I kept Dr. Silva informed of my dog's progress and Dr. Silva always respond. Now we are 7 weeks going on 8 weeks after the surgery, my dog is no longer limping. (She's actually stopped limping around week 3 but it was the infection that has brought her back to pain and prolonged the limping.) She is now running and walking like normal though my biggest responsibility is still to keep her from being her normal happy and active self- by keeping her calm, with no jumping up and down and no vigorous running. My dog is not just my family, she's a part of me, a big part of my life .... we've canceled all thanksgiving, Christmas and new year travel plans just to be able to stay home and give her the best environment and attention for optimal recovery!! She is there and we could not have done it if it wasn't for Dr. Silva and her team. They knew that I'm a very anal pet owner, so they even took a video of my dog receiving Laser Therapy for me just so that I know what was going on after the handoff. I highly recommend Seiler. Thanks everyone at Seiler for being there for me and my dog for all of these last 8 years. I'm forever grateful. If you don't want vets giving you run-around BS, try Dr. Silva. She is straight-forward, precise and concise with her diagnosis and delivery of options. Very clear communication and responsive correspondences. She's just one of thousands animal they saw over the years, but they did not treat my dog just like a number, or another admission. I'm very grateful for the care and love that they provide for my dog! SEILER worths A MILLION STARS!!

I’ve been bringing my dog to Seiler for several years, and the entire staff and medical team have always been wonderful. Recently we saw Dr. Highley for GI upset that had persisted for a couple of weeks, and I really appreciated the care we received. He took the time to listen and thoroughly work through what might be going on. He was incredibly kind and gentle with my dog, even sitting on the floor with us to help keep him comfortable. I’m very grateful for the thoughtful and compassionate care, and my dog is now doing much better!
