How to Save Money at Animal Eye Guys (Fort Lauderdale)
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.

Jennifer answered the phone when I was freaking out about my dog! She immediately got me an appointment within less than 24 hours and helped calm me down to make sure I felt okay until my appointment. She was so sweet and kind and worked with me and was so knowledgeable. I am so happy with the customer service that I received here!

Staff in Coral Springs and Ft Lauderdale are Nice and empathetic. Having said that, the facility outsources income calls answering and the calls are either not answered or it takes them over 15 minutes to answer income calls. How a facility which provides surgery can act in such a negligible way is beyond me. My dog had a surgery in CS back in June, during the recover period a few times I’ve tried to get a hold of the clinic, but the answering services would not pick up the phone. Fasting forwarded, my dog had an emergency on Thursday (rupture), I was asked by the ER Hospital to take him to Animals Eye Guys 1st in the morning. Since I had no appointment scheduled I started calling at 8 AM to make sure they had someone on site. I was on hold for the entire time I was driving to the Clinic (20min) and no one picked up. A few days later my dog was acting strangely. I called the general Number for Broward County, no one answered so I called his general vet, they put me on hold to try to get a hold of someone at the Animal Eye… Ft Lauderdale clinic and no one picked up the phone. I will finish the follow up appointments, but will not have my dog continue care at the facilities. A. Clinic that won’t answer calls is no good.

My dog has cataracts in both eyes. One eye is advanced and the other still is tiny. In the beginning, my dog was ok. They prescribed me medication for maintenance. He was seen by 2 doctors. Dr Proietto was the last one; she was awful. Over the time, things went from bad to worse and this lady didn’t know what it was. She sent me to his primary vet blaming it as being something else. I listened and took him to his vet. He said it has to be something with his eyes. While that time, he got completely blind. Thank God I decided to change his eye doctor also his vet agreed, right away after so many visit’s to this woman with no results. I took Bruno to Dr Buss from Vet Eye Institute, he cured my baby in one visit. If I waited any longer he could have lost his eyes. I do not recommend this place to anyone!! Especially Dr Proietto, she doesn’t know what she is doing. You can see in the pictures before and after changing doctors. Do not go to this place!

The staff and doctors are very friendly. The doctors are very knowledgeable and compassionate. However, the first visit is always expensive. But, they also accept Care Credit, which is wonderful!
