How to Save Money at Florence Veterinary 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.

I called this morning at 9 am and there was a chance that my cat had a blockage so they got me in within 30 minutes. The veterinarian and staff were very friendly and treated my cat like he were their own. Thank god my kitty didn’t have a blockage but the vet had a course of action and explained everything so well. I will be back with both of my cats in the future top notch experience

*UPDATE * On June 22, 2023 our furbaby boy Beau passed away at home in peace, quiet and surrounded by love and all things he loved. Due to the timing of his passing we had to wait until the next morning to call Florence Animal Hospital for cremation services. Penny the wonderful employee there was so kind and gentle. All I could say due to the nature of the matter was, "Penny, this is Beau's mom...." she heard in my voice what was wrong and she took over right away. She was gentle and informative and we took him to the office right away. The cremation memorial we received was just perfect! We received his ashes in a beautiful, ornate box with his name and date, a beautiful card and a paw print taken from him. Penny went the extra mile and made sure we even got some clippings of his fur. If there is anything to be happy about during this time, it was the way Florence Animal Hospital handled this situation in our time of need. Beau lived a happy life and even with his heart murmur and enlarged heart he lived to be 11 yrs old. If/when we decide to be dog parents again, we will not hesitate to use this business. Dr. Shepard was his vet in the last year or 2 of his happy life & she was just so good with him and she is also very nice and informative. My dog hurt his back jumping up and down from my bed. I was so scared and worried for him and took him directly to Florence vet. Hospital on 42 in Florence. Dr. Davies made me feel so much better and relaxed me by taking care of my fur baby. He did X-ray and gave him a pain shot along with supplements for his joints. My dog felt so much better & was out of pain within an hour!!! The place is CLEAN and the staff is friendly. I'll always go there. Btw, it was my 1st visit.

Dr. Davis and those at Florence Vet Hospital saved my cat, Beans. Finances have been tight since, and they've worked with me on payment plans and still receiving care for my pets. I've been going to them for years and I wouldn't want to bring my sweet fur balls anywhere else. Thank y'all for the incredible work you do.

My husband and I have nothing but praise for Dr. Davis and staff at Florence Veterinary Hospital. They took excellent care of our dog Rudy when healthy or sick. At the end of Rudy's life he was treated with compassion, kindness, and reverence. They made a very difficult time easier.
