How to Save Money at LeadER Animal Specialty Hospital
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.

Words cannot express how thankful I am to the entire staff that helped us in seeing our precious puppy into the next life. Our doggie had an unexpected seizure on a Friday and in the course of 24 hours, she deteriorated and had an additional four seizures. By Saturday she was barely holding on, and for a dog of her age, she could only take so much. I am extremely grateful for the level of care, compassion, attention, and personal investment that the staff took during our time of grief. I am especially thankful that they gave us the treatment and support to keep her alive an additional day, so we could say goodbye as a family and enjoy one more afternoon together. From the names I can remember, thank you from bottom of my heart for being there when we needed you, Dr Johns, Dr Seth, Mari, Ren, and Amber. You and each person that attended to Mia were a blessing to us when we needed you most.

Just wanted to take a moment and thank Dr. Seth Ghantous and his team for taking care of my baby Bunny. He loved all the love and care that Dr. and his team provided. Thank you for helping Bunny with his medication and the right dosage. We ended up going to See Dr. Ghantous 3 times to make sure the meds were right. He’s one of a few Internal Medicine specialists in South Florida! And all these times it was an amazing experience. Thank you Doc for your knowledge and support! Dr Ghantous is such a cool doctor And an amazing specialist! Feel very safe to know my baby had been seen by one of the best! ❤️🙏🏻

The compassion here and the love is incredible. They take great care of your pets and are honest with you. They did everything to save my cat Sable, but in the end, we had to put her to sleep so she would no longer be in pain. I thank all of you at this ER for the love and care you showed for my cat and the compassion you showed me and my family. I recommend that if you have a pet emergency, please bring your pet here for the greatest care!

Truly appreciate the kindness of the staff with end of life care. I brought my cat here last weekend, and my dog a year ago. They were compassionate through the whole process. I appreciated the towels and blankets they provided to keep my pets comfortable in their last moments. I hope I won't need to visit again for a while. But if my remaining pets have an emergency outside of my regular vet's office hours, I would definitely trust their care to the team here.

I will definitely give negative if I could. Worst animal hospital I have ever been to. Like others said, taking care of your pet is the least thing they will do, charging you extra money is their top priority. They suggest you do all the lab tests and cannot diagnose anything. They double charged us and it was so hard to communicate with them especially the lady who seems to be the manager or owner; she was shouting and yelling at us all the time. Just stay away from it if you can, otherwise you will pay money for incorrect treatment to your pet and rudest customer service.
