How to Save Money at Town & Country 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.

I have been the proud owner of two beautiful dogs that I love like my children for 9 years. So, it's fair to say I've had my share of experiences with veterinarians over the years, but none have stood out as much as my visit with Dr. Carrie Taylor. Her level of personalized care was truly exceptional. She took the time to address every single one of my concerns, ensuring that all of my questions were answered comprehensively. The depth of her explanations provided a clear understanding of every step that needed to be taken. I felt completely at ease and assured that my babies were in the best hands. I can confidently say that Dr. Taylor and her staff are the best I've ever had the pleasure of working with and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any pet owner seeking top-notch veterinary care.

We were dog sitting. They got us in and out quickly for our injured dog. It was an easy process. The bathroom smells better than the rest of the place, though.

I have been bringing my dog to this vet since I got my pup 6 years ago. The cost to have him treated is ridiculous. It cost me $413.00 to have him boarded, his toes trimmed, sedated, and yes I understand that cost, ear looked at, drops given, and for someone to inject him with cytopoint. When my dog was brought out to me he WAS NOT wearing his harness or leash. He is a 62 pound bundle of muscle and moves fast. The only leash attached was a skimpy cloth leash used for a 10 pound laid back dog. My dog could have broke free of that leash, run out the front doors, and ended up on highway 27. It was after 4pm. Are you aware of the traffic on 27? That in itself is a huge red flag of the lack of care and concern for my animal. The second red flag was when my puppy got home and drank over 4 cups of water and only stopped because I had to refill his bowl. It is obvious that he wasn’t given anything to drink from the time he woke from sedation to when I arrived. That is sad and totally irresponsible of whoever was working the kennels. That lack of attention and care for his needs is unacceptable. For $413.00 he should at least get water. Your sign on the front desk says that your customers are your best advertisement. You are right and I will also be the person who tells others to go to other vets for pet care. It is literally highway robbery what a 6 year continuous customer is charged. I can’t afford you. Good bye!

This was the first visit for our new 5 year old Shih Tzu. We had taken our previous Shih Tzu to Town and Country for 10 years and now we will take our new joy Missy. Missy was so relaxed and comfortable with the Veterinarian and the Tech. They examined her throughly and they found a few issues that needed attention and they were taken care of and she was fine. This is the best Veterinary Facility I have ever taken our dogs to in FL. Thank you again for everything!!!

They were able to see Peanut very soon, as she was a new patient. They welcomed her with a sign, then took great care of her, and got blood test results back the very next day. Peanut is definitely doing better, big thx to the whole staff.
