How to Save Money at Loving Paws 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.

Loving Paws have been our vet since relocating here four years ago. They treat my fur baby like she was their own. They show genuine care and compassion. Loving Paws is the perfect name for them !! Their prices are reasonable too!! I recommend Loving Paws for your fur baby.

These folks are fantastic!! I am so sorry I didn't know about them 6 or 7 yrs. ago. They got us right in even though we'd never been there before. They will be our Fur baby (s) Dr. from here on. Thank you so much. Brave Dog & her hoomins

Dr. Papan and Alina were excellent with my 7 year old Cocker Spaniel Ellie. We have been seeing another vet nearby for the last almost 10 years (have cats & dogs). Recently they haven’t been able to accommodate us for appointments within a reasonable timeframe. Ellie was sick with food poisoning for a couple of days and where our regular vet couldn’t help- Loving Paws saw Ellie within 24 hours. The level of care by both Dr. Papan and Alina was top notch and Ellie is feeling much better and healthier. They even took care of a bad dew claw she had. Strongly considering moving our business to Loving Paws and highly recommend this practice based on our emergent experience. 10/10!

We have been with Dr. Papan for quite some time. The times we needed to take our cat in they were amazing with her. This past May 2023 we brought our cat in because we found a lump on her cheek, Dr. Papan was very cold and uncaring. Extremely disappointed.

Took in a new client the next day! Nice roomy office/rooms. Couches, clean bathroom and more than friendly staff! They called back to follow up and check on my dog after the weekend! I think we found our new vet no need to commute back and forth from Naples....
