How to Save Money at Pet Emergency of Martin County

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.

I had to take my handsome 17 yr old boy- Simba for help, policy has you wait outside, which is hard. I saw the most wonderful, patient, caring man, who discussed cost of test etc; 550 and me out of work! Getting ready to help my 93 yr old Mam in UK,who would take care of medical needs.I was a blubbering mess.Man prior brought his dog who was hit by car and left,did not make it ,so that started me off, I had to do right for my dear boy Simba, thank you Dr Hernan Montilla for your compassion,and convincing me any decision would be the right one,he had a happy life. I had already taken his brother Tinker, a year ago and the lady Vet at that time, was not so nice ,quoted 700 ,which turned into over 1000, merely few mins after on my arrival, to pick poor boy up.

Exceptional care for our furry friends! The team at Pet Emergency of Martin County goes above and beyond to provide top-notch veterinary services. From the warm welcome at the reception to the thorough and compassionate care from the veterinarians and vet technicians. My little girl Shia had an emergency on June, and she was treated like family, and I appreciate the expertise and dedication of the staff. The clinic is clean, well-equipped, and the staff is knowledgeable about a wide range of pet health concerns. Thank you, Dr. Molina and the team, for being a trusted partner in keeping our beloved pets healthy and happy.

My buddy (dog) of 14 years was having seizures on a Sunday. He had been having them for a few days. The staff at Pet Emergency of Martin County were amazing. They took him right in, put him on O2 and soon the Dr came out and explained the seriousness of the situation. It was decided to relieve my buddy's suffering and Dr. Montilla explained the entire procedure as it occurred, gently helped my dog to relax and slip into a state of peaceful unawareness at which time the Dr. gently guided my dear dog over the "rainbow bridge." I am a retired Hospice Chaplain and would have been blessed to have doctors with this man's gentle touch at our patient bedsides. Thank you.

Wonderful experience for such an unfortunate event. We were worried our dog had a seizure due to her multiple symptoms. We called and the staff was accommodating and told us to bring her in. We brought her in and were greeted by the staff who helped her out of the car. The doctor examined her and came out to explain everything. Dr Jason was great he thoroughly explained everything and the possibilities of what could be going on. We went with his advisement and our dog is turning a corner as he said she would in the next few days. Big thank you to the kind staff (especially since I was a mess) and big thank you to Dr. Jason for taking his time with us and his wonderful explanation. His diagnosis was spot on! Would highly recommend.
