How to Save Money at Dr K's 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.

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.

Doctor Leanne Browne at Doctor K's Animal Hospital is so sweet to our sheltie Annabella. Dr Browne has taken excellent care of our Annabella. She had her yearly physical and shots today. Dr Browne took great care of her as if Annabella was her child. We highly recommend Dr K's Animalhospital! Always a pleasure to see Dr Browne! We trust Dr Browne with our sweet Annabella! Annabella is always in great hands!!

Dr K has, or was, the vet for every one of my pets /best friends since 1985 until Dr. B took over. I am going no further with this comment except to say that I miss Dr B

I had the wonderful experience of working with Dr. Browne, Dr. Hauser, and the staff for many years. They are very knowledgeable and really take the time to make all clients feel welcome and comfortable while giving each patient the specialized care they deserve. I still have the wonderful pleasure of seeing them as a client now. I would not take my fur babies anywhere else!

Shortly after moving to Stuart/Jupiter area of Florida we began our search for a properly qualified veterinarian to help us with our ailing 11 yr. old yellow lab. Beginning with our very first visit Dr. Brown and the staff at Dr. K's were kind, considerate, attentive and very loving toward "our boy". Though we had some extreme disease issues to deal with I found Dr. Brown's care to be thoughtful and measured. When things progressed she recommended a top notch specialist to guide us. Though we eventually lost the fight I always felt we were in good hands and good hearts with this wonderful staff. If ever we have another furry friend we will be back at Dr. K's and that's the best recommendation I can give.

I can't say enough about how wonderful this facility is. Everything about this place is perfect, it's a beautiful building and the vets are both fantastic. I have been a Jupiter resident for 15 yeas but for some reason never came across this vet until a new friend recommended them. I had a scary situation where my dog was attacked during group play at another local vet's boarding facility. I have boarded my dog here for 56 days over the past year and a handful of times for doggy daycare during the day and it is great not to have to worry about how he's doing or if he's safe. I used to call constantly for updates (sorry guys!) but have recently eased off knowing he's in such good hands :). Not to mention they support local schools and have donated items to the school I work for for the fundraising auction every year! Love you Dr. B and Dr. K! I usually don't comment on other reviews but who expects a vet to make their dog suffer with an ear infection while they are being boarded?! Ew and ouch. Poor puppy.
