How to Save Money at Viscaya Prado Veterinary Hospital Main 1141 Country Club

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.

Update: got off the phone with the “Office Manager” who said there’s nothing she can do except fire the employee that quoted me wrong. Kind of low, I feel like maybe settling this dispute would be less impactful but oh well. Was told the head doctor would call me today before the day ended and guess what, they dropped the ball again. Please do not waste your time here. They only want your money. I actually never share negative experiences I have at places because I always assume it’s not their standard however, this one I’m gonna have to speak on. My dog experienced a seizure so I called to get an idea of what the process and prices are like as I am tight on finances at the moment. I was quoted the visit fee, $95 and the minimum blood work would be just $75. The girl on the phone actually made me feel really good and confident about everything given the traumatic experience I just had. I went in for the appt and everyone was great, all the techs were so good to my dog and the doctor was so good at helping me understand what the issue may be. I go up to check out and almost $400 pops up on the screen…I said I was not quoted this much. The tech got another lady who just kept telling me no one is here to help resolve the matter. I told her I was only expecting to pay about $200…and she said well I can pay that and we can send a bill. I said no thanks, I’ll pay the $200 because that’s about how much I was told I would have to pay. I expressed my disappointment and admitted that I chose this place because of the great feedback I’ve heard and the price given to me just two hours before. I was allowed to pay the $200 and was told that I’ll be called about whether they’re going to send me a bill…what a scam.

I can't find no words to tell you how happy I am with Viscaya Prado Veterinary Hospital. We have been customers for over 15 years .. Doctor Knoll, Mckelvie, Freed they all are magnificent but Today new doctor Trevor Altman was the star of this team. Today, a day after Hurricane Helene ..the hospital is really busy, so is our roads and our town. I have to salute and admire his professionalism, his ethics and all his faith on save and find the best solution, without killing us or gouging with charges and extra fees on our hospital estimate for my kitty cat Lily. I just want to let everyone know that they do open after hours from Monday to Thursday even when Google doesn't showing that they do as a emergency services. As a business owner I really appreciate when customers are leaving good reviews on my page. I am paying back. Thanks Viscaya and Thanks to all of those amazing staff

Having been a dog lover, owner, and animal lover my entire life I have to say this place is the best "by far "veterinary clinic and hospital I've ever seen. Sadly, we had put our Bella down today and the staff was insanely caring. They made the worst day of our life as good as they could. Very compassionate.

I would give him less if I could I took my dog in that was in pain at 3:30 on Sunday the website says they're open till 5:00 they quickly told me they had no more people that could see me and that I should go somewhere else didn't care one bit. They had no problem the last time I was there to take $700 and to tell me that they couldn't find anything wrong. I would not go to this place ever again they could care less about your pet or how you feel. But it's a hospital supposedly and they are supposed to take care of your pets when they're here in an emergency so I went back never again.
