How to Save Money at Kindness Animal Hospital (West), A Thrive Pet Healthcare Partner
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.
How Do You Choose the Right Pet Insurance Provider?

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.

In order for us to get our dog groomed here, they require a $175 “wellness check.” We followed their rule, and paid both the wellness visit fee and the grooming fee. 2 weeks after the session, we found a tumor on our dog that came back positive for cancer. We couldn’t believe it. It has been a year, and after surgery, our dog is well. We went to book another grooming for him this week, and they again reminded us we owe another $175 for another wellness check… We explained amount situation, and asked to not be charged for another check this year. They said no. Extremely disappointed, not that they have this policy with this large fee, but that it seems to just be a money-grab and that your dog will not actually see the vet. The tumor we found on our dog’s private area was easy for us to miss in daily life, but VERY obvious if a vet even glanced at him.

Extremely dissatisfied with my visit. I am in FL visiting my mother and brought her a new puppy. The new puppy tested positive for worms and it was suggested that both of my dogs get tested just in case. I had no issues with this. I was told they needed a wellness exam in order to have their fecal tested- again no problem with this. They did not charge me for a wellness exam. Instead they charged me for two sick visits (neither of my dogs are sick). All they did was check them over. Both of their samples came back clean (again I was not surprised, they are on preventative). I was not told my total and was told I was getting an emailed receipt. Did not get it. I checked my statement to find out I was charged just shy of $400! $400 for two dogs both under 10lbs who were not sick- only there for a WELLNESS exam and to get their stool checked. Completely ridiculous and unacceptable. This is more money that I pay for their yearly checkup, vaccines, and heartworm check!! I like having a backup vet to take my girls to when I visit my mom. Needless to say we will never return to Kindness.

My semi feral cat Midnight boarded here for 12 days. I was so nervous about leaving her but we had to make sure she was safe during our move. Not only was Kindness Animal Hospital able to deal with 2 extensions but I'd call and be able to talk to the kennel tech. Much gratitude for keeping Midnight safe to be reunited in her new house with her bestest friend Loki and her favorite human.

What a fabulous experience we had with Drs. Clark and Bell this week. And we are only visiting Cape Coral. They treated us EXACTLY as the clinic says with “KINDNESS”. We have an elderly poodle mix with health issues. Thursday Dr Clark did a thorough exam and helped us and Piper. When her condition continued to deteriorate with new symptoms, we called Saturday morning at 9:30 and they said to be there at 10:15. Again, Dr. Bell asked lots of questions and suggested solutions to help her. It’s been 12 hours since she received care and new meds and she is doing 80% better. The technicians were as kind as the vets. And it was so clean and we never saw another dog. We are so happy we found them and that they would see us right away. We called lots of vets and it was going to be 2-3 weeks before they could see us. Thank you to everyone at KINDNESS WEST. You have allowed us to continue our long awaited vacation without having to go home early because of an I’ll dog. She is doing so well. We appreciate everything you did for her. If you are looking for a vet, please call them. They are very caring.

Dr Morgan is the best. My baby girl is not to friendly but Dr knows best. I have been going there for five years with my babies and also use their boarding services. I always get a call and the staff goes beyond for these paw babies.
