How to Save Money at TLC Animal 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.

I highly recommend this veterinarian. Dr. Moore spent a lot of time talking to me about my kitten possibly having surgery done, but she also provided me with non-surgical treatments for the issue. These vet technicians are probably the best I’ve ever seen. They all have compassion and it’s obvious that they love animals. I’m so happy to have found this veterinary clinic. Daisy also approves! 😽

We have an extremely anxious pit bull whom previous vets and techs were unable to handle. TLC staff and doctor (all of them!) were incredibly patient and calm with our dog, and took care of his annual needs with great professionalism. We are so happy! Kathy and Roy

My first appointment in this area went off without a hitch! Great staff, on-time and thorough. One thing to be aware of, is there are house cats that roam & all animals share the same lobby - that caught me off guard as my previous place had animal separation and my cats aren’t used to it. This is my place now & will be back!

We are in Floral city temporarily. Our boxer was dragging her butt on the ground. We made an appointment with TLC they took us in and took care of the problem. Very professional, compassionate staff. Would highly recommend this vet.

Existing customer of 10 years. Stopped by your office to reschedule an appointment I had to cancel a few weeks prior. The receptionist told me you aren't taking new clients. I said I'm not a new client and I just had an appointment a few weeks ago. She said well now you haven't been here in 4 years, so you're a new client now. I asked her to ask the veterinarian for an exception, who I had just chatted with in front of her. The receptionist rolled her eyes and gave a little chuckle and said "ok" annoyingly as she got up to go ask. Vet never came back out so I could ask her, but the receptionist came back and said she said no. I just think it's pretty lame that I JUST HAD an appointment with you I couldn't keep, but now I'm not your client. Since you're too busy, I'm telling my mom to take her 3 cats (your current clients) somewhere else from now on too. Should free up some of your time. Cheers.
