How to Save Money at Livewell Animal Hospital of Riverview

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.

Nothing but incredible things to say about Livewell and their ENTIRE staff. Back in June, my puppy broke her leg. Between our initial visit/casting, the surgery, and multiple follow ups - the Livewell team has been nothing short of amazing, beyond caring, and SUPER thorough with explaining things. You all are truly such rockstars and angels on earth - I cannot recommend you enough! Thank you for everything!

I have nothing but nice things to say about Livewell. We've only been coming since April, but it has been a night and day experience from the "other" vet I had gone to for years (big company). Everyone is extremely accommodating, helpful and a pleasure to be around, and it is a nice quiet setting where I feel comfortable and not rushed. I got a great first impression of Dr. Banks who was very informative and helpful with all the questions I had. Also, this may seem simple, but prescriptions have been stress free and quick (as they should be!). I'm so happy we found a new home here. ❤️

Very calm and professional experience! I switched Vets due to location to my home and best decision ever! Very friendly staff and wait times are incredibly short. Front desk, doctor and vet techs are very friendly! Never pressured into doing any “extra” services. Refreshments in lobby are a nice touch as well. Thank you livewell for taking such good care of my Sassy girl!

Great vet office with even greater people. They were so accommodating when I needed a last minute walk in for my dog. Everyone was so friendly and took care of my dog like she was one of their own. Thanks to their service, my doggo is all better now! Can't say enough good things about this office.
