How to Save Money at Walk-In 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.

WVC at Apollo Beach is the best vet care I have experienced! I have been going there for 3 years now and love them so much. Starting with reception staff, they are so sweet and detail oriented, extremely nice and diligent...the vet techs and assistants are very professional and attentive...and Dr. K. Ramer is so knowledgeable, compassionate and she receives my boy Denver with such love and energy! He loves her and gets so excited when we go there. I love them all so much and they take care of my boy so well. THANK YOU WVC TEAM!!

Never go here for anything serious. My dog was diagnosed with cancer, and Dr. Ramer said my dog was not a candidate for amputation, but they didn’t do any blood work to determine if that was true. She just let the cancer run its course. I eventually took my dog to a different vet (Vet Next Door in Parrish) who did blood work to assess her further, and actually worked to try to find a solution. Dr. Ramer just assumed there was no solution, and my dog deserves better. If your dog just needs a nail trim, the walk-in clinic is probably fine. However, never trust them with anything serious. They did my dog such a disservice that I will never take my pets there again. I HIGHLY recommend the Vet Next Door in Parrish, as they are the most trustworthy and caring vet clinic I’ve ever been to.

Dr. Ramer and front office were super professional and caring towards my pets. My poor dog, Bailey, had been limping for a week and was in so much pain. Dr. Ramer got her all fixed up and she looks like a brand new dog! The front office and staff are so sweet and they'll treat you like family!
