How to Save Money at West Flamingo 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.

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.

Thank you for saving our dog's life! Amazing staff and doctors all around. Entire facility went above and beyond for an entire week to get our elderly poodle through surgery and to keep our minds at ease as much as possible. The overnight technicians for 24 hour care are beyond awesome, always available for updates and always easy to reach any time of the night. Really cannot say enough good things but over the course of a week I'd say we met in person with or interacted with every member of the staff including all doctors and surgeons. Every single person was amazing. Even the security on premises are really great and comforting of the situation. Our dog is home now recovering amazingly fast. THANK YOU ALL!!!!

I’ve been a loyal client at West Flamingo Animal Hospital for years, and I can’t say enough about the outstanding care my pets receive there. Dr. Yach and Dr. Arnold are true gems—knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated to their craft. They’ve gone above and beyond to ensure my fur babies’ well-being, and I’m forever grateful. The entire team at West Flamingo is remarkable. Julienne, Alicia, Sherryl, and Amber at the front desk are like family—they’re sweet, efficient, and always willing to accommodate my scheduling needs. Lupe, one of the techs, has a special place in my heart. Her genuine care for animals shines through in every interaction. Whether it’s routine check-ups or urgent situations, West Flamingo Animal Hospital consistently delivers top-notch service. They treat our pets as if they were their own, and that level of dedication is rare and invaluable. Thank you, West Flamingo Animal Hospital, for making a difference in our lives. You’ve earned my trust, and I won’t take my pets anywhere else! 🐶

Went to this vet for several years and saw multiple vets at this clinic. We switched vets in 2021 after I felt I was not getting answers. In late 2019 early 2020 I was told by the 3rd vet at west flamingo we had seen that my cat had a possible polyp in his nose. We were never offered skull X-rays or anything to verify what was in his nose. After waiting for 4yrs and going to a total of 9 vets yesterday 2-15-24 my cat was finally offered the skull X-rays he needed. Due to the constant misdiagnosis from west flamingo vet as well as Dewey Vet and the 2 vets in my current city he was diagnosed with a tumor that has been growing in his nasal cavity for the last 4yrs and is now inoperable. Had people done their job at this vet and not just tried to tell me to get a humidifier, get rid of my air freshener and stuff him full of antibiotics treating it as an upper respiratory infection we could have caught it sooner and he would have lived longer. I would not recommend this vet. You don't even see the same vet here consecutively!!! I saw 6 different vets just at this clinic! Insane!

We've now had two of our canine family members taken care of by the team at West Flamingo from puppy stage to end of life, for a period of close to 30 years. Our most recent dog, Gianna, had health issues since she was a puppy, and we weren't sure how long she would be a part of our family. She passed away last month at 13&1/2 years (which is incredible for a long-haired German Shepherd), thanks to the care she received from Dr. Yach and his team. They are like family to us! We're not quite ready for another puppy yet, but when we are, it's nice to know we have a family to go back to. In the meantime, they will be missed.

There is only one Dr. that I didn't care for. Dr. Arnold would not hospitalize my cat. She wasn't eating, drinking. She peed on herself and was vomiting. It seemed like she was out of it. I was able to get an appointment with Dr. Yach a week later. I didn't even have to ask for hospitalization. He told me to hospitalize her. I was glad! A week wasted. Who knows if my cat would have died anyway. It was extremely sad and heartbreaking. We know our animals. Anything, at age 17+ years young, that is different is cause for concern. My cat was caterwauling and losing weight. I knew there was something wrong with her. Dr. Arnold told me that many cats caterwaul. I've had cats for 50+ years and I worked at animal hospitals. Never had come across any caterwauling cat! The staff is excellent! All the other vets there I highly commend and recommend. Very clean and fresh up front and in the rooms, always.
