How to Save Money at Francisco Collazos DVM

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.

1st VISIT!!! WORST VET EVER!! Just brought my new 10 week old blue heeler puppy in after just loosing a beloved pet. Met with Dr. Reedy who did not greet me but instead decided to make an assumption that my dog came from an Amish puppy mill where they are raised in the back of a semi truck and have their barkers removed. She was not friendly and became argumentative and was extremely opinionated rather than taking concern and the well being of my new puppy. Do not bring your PET here. They do have 2 other doctors maybe they will be more caring and compassionate than she was. My puppy did not come from a puppy mill and it isn't even a pure bred dog. So little does the Ms. know it all Dr. know. Dr. Reedy also told me to feed the puppy grocery store dog food instead of the good quality food that I have him currently eating. If I could give a zero star I would.

The Vet didn't even touch my dog and said he had allergies without even testing him and charged me over $200.00 took my dog to Weeki Wachee Veterinarian Clinic they check him for everything and found out he has Cushing's disease if I took there diagnosis my dog probably would be dead. If you need a good veterinarian go to Weeki Wachee Veterinarian Clinic and see Dr. Stocker he is very good and the staff are very friendly. My dog died of Cushing disease but Doctor Stocker did the best for him there was just no hope of him living longer than he did I appreciate that he help keep him alive for 4 years I will always miss my little Pablo.

Dr Collazos has been my vet for 10 years. He took such wonderful care of my dog. I do not trust any other vet like I trust him.

We left our vet of 6 years and, after getting a recommendation for Dr. Callazos we took our 3 dogs to him. He never listened to anything we said, he talked and talked without making sure we understood what he was saying and he jumped to diagnoses/opinions after 2 minutes. When we tried to explain our personal experiences with our dogs, their medical histories and situations he acted as if we hadn't said a word and just kept bulldozing his irrelevant opinion onto us. UPDATE: After discussion the doctor has shown great improvement in his communication skills. UPDATE AGAIN: MY 1ST REVIEW WAS CORRECT!! MY DOG WAS INJURED BY SOMETHING SHARP IN THEIR WAITING ROOM. THEY REFUSED TO ALLOW ME TO SEE THE SERVIELANCE VIDEO. THEY TREATED OUR DOG UNTIL HE WAS HEALED AND THEY FIRED US AS PATIENTS!! CRIMINAL!! I SHOULD HAVE SUED FOR MALPRACTICE!
