How to Save Money at Miami Veterinary Dermatology
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.

As always, Dr. Rosales is the kindest, most compassionate and thorough Vet Derm anywhere in S. FL. I have been a long time client and was so excited to hear she was moving to a new location. The new clinic is absolutely stunning and extremely spacious. The lobby area is spotless, the furniture is comfortable and there’s even a coffee bar. Dr. Rosales already exceeds my expectations of patient care and could never think of visiting any other dermatologist. I’ll drive any distance to see her, but so thrilled she’s closer to me now.

What an amazing doctor and team. I really feel we have a great plan now to treat her allergies. Very grateful to Miriam for calling me all the times when others canceled their appointment so i could get this space.

This is one of the best animal clinics I have ever been to. The doctor is one of the most knowledgeable and patient ones there is and the staff goes the extra mile for your furry friend’s comfort. They have seen it all but if your pet has one they haven’t they will go to the ends of the earth to figure out and help heal. 100% recommend, worth every penny.

Dr. Rosales is an excellent dermatologist. I am a veterinarian myself and I trust Dr. Rosales implicitly with the health of my own animals. I have been seeing her for a couple of years now and even though I’ve moved away I will continue to use her as my cats’ dermatologist. She is in my opinion one of the best in South Florida.

I was extremely impressed with Doctor Rosales And her staff. My sweet pug Harrison has been suffering with extreme skin allergies for a while. For the first time, I think we’re on a program that’s going to get him relief. Well worth the weight, the drive from Jupiter and the money. Excellent practice.
