How to Save Money at Palm Glen 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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.

Not a fan of how long the wait times have been but they are very busy and do their best to take their time with each animal. My dog feels comfortable with the vet and all the staff here. He just got neutered and they treated him so sweet and the staff is just always so friendly. Love that they have two doors so that if animals aren’t comfortable being around each other they can avoid interaction.

Dr. Mangone is wonderful!! Hard to find a good vet these days. He takes the time to listen to your concerns and doesn't make you spend a lot of extra money if you don't need to. Thank you so much!

I can't recommend Dr. Mangone and the team here highly enough! Our family has been bringing our pets here for years and we've always been impressed by the professionalism and care they offer. Dr. Mangone is exceptional; he is always straightforward with us, providing clear and honest information, which we truly appreciate. His down-to-earth manner makes every visit comfortable for both our pets and us. If you're looking for a vet who truly cares about your animal's well-being, look no further. Thank you, Dr. Mangone, for consistently going above and beyond!

I have been going to Palm Glen for years. My last visit though was the worst and I will never go back. I took my cat in on May 2nd and had a nose swab done for $ 350.00. The cost was not the problem. I received an email back on May 13th that listed the results showing 2 different infections. The email said that one could be treated and the other couldn’t but it didn’t say which one was treatable. Normally, I would have gotten a phone call explaining this and medication that needed to be filled. So I started calling the office at least twice a week for the next few weeks trying to get an answer. Among the excuses as to why I was not being contacted back by the vet was, he’s the only vet and you have to wait for a callback and we don’t know how long that will take. The vet is with a patient but he’ll call you right back, that never happened. So, finally I called and just asked for the medication to be filled and I was told that the vet had to figure out the dosage amount for my cat and he would call back by the end of day, that never happened either. I then asked for the actual test results and her records to be transferred to my email so that I could pay to take her to another vet to get her help because she is still sick at this point. I called back 3 days later wondering where the results and records were and I was advised that I had to wait until the vet released the records. I called back again and was advised to email the doctor if I wanted a response. I finally called back and threatened to call the BBB and 3 days later I finally received an EMAIL back from the vet basically telling me that he had already answered all of my questions and he didn’t understand what my problem was. I emailed back because at this point it was obvious that he wasn’t going to call me, that I didn’t know how bad the viruses were and I had no idea what medicine was needed and could I just get it prescribed. He said that they carried one of the meds but the other would need to go to a pharmacy. He wrote that I needed to call the office and give them the name of the pharmacy. I was then finally able to get the medicine for my sick cat. I will never go to this vet again. I have all of the email correspondence still, the only reason that I’m not showing them is the vet’s name and email are on them and I don’t want to get into trouble for posting his name and email but he is the only vet in the clinic.
