How to Save Money at Micanopy 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.

After being ignored at UF's small animal hospital a few years ago, the vet here saved my 9- year-old bunny's life when she was on death's door. She is still here today (nearly 12!!!) because of her care and knowledge. I now also always make sure to have a bag of Oxbow critical care handy just in case. Thank you!

It’s taken me a while to write this review - my first ever - because I wanted the words to reflect perfectly how much Micanopy Animal Hospital meant to me and my cat, Daisy, during her time with them. It is so rare these days to feel good about the service one receives from a business. But every time I would call on the phone or we visited, I was amazed at how positive the experience was. Every person who works there - always professional and “above and beyond”, as they say. It felt personal, too, not just clinical. When the time came to make the decision to let her go because of her terminal condition, we knew it was there that she and we would want to be. They have a beautiful little “comfort room” as someone else called it. My husband and I sat on a comfortable futon; there was a very soft “blankey” for her between us, and tissues and water were close by. A couple of the staff members who had known her came in to say good-bye. Dr. Pearson guided us and her so sweetly and gently through the process. It seems odd to say this, but when I think of that very sad day, I remember it as a beautiful one because of the delicate and thoughtful ways they made it that way. Words can't express what that meant to us. On a lighter note, we have just a adopted a dog from a family member, and so (YAY) we get to keep visiting our favorite vet clinic!

My thought are maybe they could of came and brought dog to hospital so my kid could of said her goodbye before being put down from car accident..my child left hospital with 2 broken feet before she was sup to just to get to see the dog because was told it was being put down if she was not there in 1 hour. But when we did get to animal hos they were very nice and very professional and rolled the dog out to my truck at 145 am in the colld just so my child could be by her dogs side as it was being put down..they were all great on that aspect of service and we thank you..but then again I know dog had maybe broke its spine and was not in good shape so thank you fir keeping it alive and in no pain for the 10 hours you had her thanks again for your service

Be aware! Yesterday, the lady in the front office refused to sell me the box of 6 pills that kill ticks and fleas. Even though it was prescribed by their own veterinarian. Her excuses were my dogs' age. The box of 6 pills cost $150 she gave me 2 pills for almost $73 dollars. **get your dogs' medication from amazon or Walmart. ** they work better for your wallet and your dogs. THEY RESPONDED TO MY COMPLAINT. ON THE PHONE SHE SAID THAT SHE HAD A FLEAS INFESTACION TOO AND THAT SHE USED KNOCK OUT FOR BEDS AND CLOTHS AND THE COST WAS $25, HOWEVER WHEN I PICKED IT UP THEY CHARGED ME $30. THE KNOCK OUT PRODUCT CAN'T BE USED ON BED, CLOTHS OR ANIMALS. AGAIN ***BE AWARE THIS PEOPLE JUST WANT YOUR MONEY***. YOUR HEALTH AND YOUR PETS' HEALTH ARE NOT IMPORTANT FOR THEM.

I absolutely love this office. I drive about an hour because they take great care of my guinea pigs. The staff is friendly and always return your call when they say they will. Definitely recommend this office if you have rabbits or guinea pigs.
