How to Save Money at Lake Nona Animal Clinic

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 staff were all very pleasant and sympathetic, gentle with our little guy and even had him purring the whole time. The assistant also went over a multi-tier cost plan to work with us since we had to make an immediate visit, and couldn't wait for paychecks to come through as our pet suffered. We'll be heading back to get the non-critical (but still very important) work done as soon as we get paid, and we really appreciate how they worked with us and were able to work out an affordable option for us to get him the critical care parts he needed right away. They were very patient and informative, happily answering our questions, and just overall generally pleasant and very helpful. The overall office demeanor was also positive and friendly. As a former vet tech myself, back in the college days, I am more critical than most people of vets and pet stores, and cognizant of other little details as well. Things you might not know to look for that reveal exactly how clean and professional a place is, regardless of how it looks to the naked eye. They passed with flying colors. It's the little things that indicate the company cares about their employees and patients, which means a lot to me. I would definitely recommend their services if your pet needs medical care.

We transferred here from another vet and no regrets indeed! Julia has been so hands on with my dogs requirements and has been very attentive with following up. The drs have been very good as well. Price range is cheaper than most vets around too.

The absolute best veterinary experience I have ever had! We have been bringing our mini golden doodle since she was 8 weeks old (she is almost 3 years old now) and have never had a bad experience. Highlights of my experience so far: - The staff clearly loves animals and bring positive energy all the time, making our dog feel at ease and not at all scared. - The veterinarians are very knowledgeable and easily approachable. They also clearly love their job and the animals they work with. - Christmas party with giveaways! We won a raffle for half price on a dental cleaning (~$500 regularly) but our puppy was too young at the time to get a teeth cleaning, so they honored the coupon by giving us $250 off when we got her spayed. Completely unexpected and very much appreciated! - Our dog had heat exhaustion on her 2nd birthday from playing in the heat too long, the animal clinic got her an 8am appointment the following morning for urgent care! - They work with one of the most popular Vet Medical Records apps (VitusVet) making it easy to access all of the medical records and know when vaccines are due, etc. - They not only applied a military discount at our first visit but permanently associated that with our account and now we get a military discount every visit without even having to ask! Overall, I highly recommend Lake Nona Animal Clinic if they have openings available, they fill up quick! Bonus pic of our happy pup below.
