How to Save Money at The Range 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.

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.

The facility is gorgeous and the staff is top tier! Communication with the front staff was easy and they are very sweet from the moment we walked in. The nurse we had was patient with my dog and made her as comfortable as possible. Dr. Walker was amazing I can’t say enough about his compassion and knowledge. He broke things down and explained things to me in a way I would understand instead of using big words that I didn’t know. Overall a great experience and I will be back!

We would give a million stars if possible! We were gifted the pleasure of meeting Dr. Walker when our go to vet was unavailable at his prior location for an issue with one of our pups. Hands down the best in the business and worth the additional drive to his brand new facility with an amazing reception area and delightful staff. It is evident that he truly loves his profession and treats our fur babies with the utmost compassion. If you are in search of a veterinarian that is down-to-earth, always gives options, and never pushes for unnecessary testing/procedures, Dr. Walker is your man!

Dr. Walker has been our vet since 2020!! Remington, our Australian Labradoodle absolutely loves going for his check ups and getting to see his favorite vet. The Range staff is always so welcoming, extremely caring, and personable every time we walk through the door. The clinic itself is beautiful and warm but the people makes it even better! The grooming at The Range is top notch!!! Theo is amazing and such a good listener. If you have any type of doodle mix, you'll know that finding a good groomer is hard but Theo makes it look easy. I could not recommend The Range enough!!!

When it’s Saturday morning and the urgent vet doesn’t open for another hour and your own vet is open but too busy to squeeze your dog in who was just attacked and bleeding everywhere and literally disregard your pleas and suggest you drive 30 minutes to another urgent care or go to CVS for supplies - you go to The Range Animal Hospital Dr. Walker and his staff are literal angels. I actually called a different vet (thinking it was the range) but showed up at The Range unannounced and they didn’t even bat an eye and took us in our bloody mess right in. They not only got her bleeding to stop they did the sedation and stitches for her and will be providing the follow up in 2 weeks! Needless to say I am changing vets! The kindness from the two wonderful ladies at the front desk, nurse Brittany and Dr. Walker is the gold standard of what pet care should be.

I have and would recommend The Range Animal Hospital to anyone in the Greater Tampa Bay area who have pets as members of their family. Late last night we had a scare and Dr. Walker and staff showed care, compassion, commitment to service, and medical excellence by taking us in without an appointment and providing care to our canine family member. Thankfully all worked out and Plato is in good health. . Thank you Dr. Walker and staff for a truly outstanding experience! I have no doubt the other doctors and staff who I didn't get a chance yet to meet will provide the same level of excellence.
