How to Save Money at Leesburg Veterinary Internal Medicine
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.

Our Bull Terrier needed to be seen here after an unusual x-ray. The staff here was great; the service prompt. Rosie was given an ultrasound; the vet took plenty of time to talk to me, AND all is well! Although I hope I don’t have to return anytime soon, I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else for services.

Dr. Villatoro and the VCA team are incredible! We rescued a dog that had been surrendered after being ran over by a car in West Virginia and we weren’t sure if she would ever walk again. They fit us in for an emergency procedure right away and provided multiple updates during her stay. With the help of the surgeons at Life Center and staff at VCA, Sissy is recovering tremendously and is back to being a happy 1 year old basset. Thank you to all that made this possible!

No one likes their pet becoming ill but it's good to know that there's a 24-hour emergency veterinary care available close by. We've taken the number of our cats for emergency care at this facility. How far beloved pets have received excellent care even if it was just to take care of a small tear in their skin or needing to have Emergency Immediate Care in order to save their lives. Sadly, sometimes we've needed their help to cross the Rainbow Bridge. I was greatly touched by how they had sent us a card with our beloved cats pawprints on it. A tender tangible way of remembering our beloved girl. I've attached three photos of our most recent patients at their Clinic. The long-haired gray kitty is my MollyJoy who is currently recovering from dehydration and anemia. She's got some ways to go but she's recovering I hope. The black tabby is my Marble boy who had Feline Urinary Syndrome and needed to have surgery. And the other photo is of my grey short hair cat, MandieJoy, who had contracted cancer and needed help to cross the Rainbow Bridge. She was a bit shy but then all three of these cats are feral rescue kitties with MandieJoy and MollyJoy being littermates and Marble is their great-grandnephew. What can I say, we have the words 'soft touch' and paw prints written on our foreheads and our hearts.

Dr Justin and his team at LVIM are amazing!! We have seen him with a few of our dogs over the past 15 years or so. Our first pup saw him for kidney issues that stemmed from ehrlichia. Our current pup has seen him for pretty significant GI issues. We credit them with saving his life when he first saw them as a puppy (he’s now 4 years old ). Each time, Dr Justin & his team have treated us with care, compassion, professionalism, and have been so loving & sweet with our pup as well! Even during covid times! Thus last visit was unexpected - we were not sure what was causing our pup to be sick (GI sensitivity or intestine blockage). They got us in very fast for an ultrasound and follow on care. Our pup is doing great, no surgery required, and back to his old self. Dr Justin and his team are incredibly knowledgeable and are like private detectives who get to the bottom of things. Thankful for them!!! Highly recommend them!!!!

They took great care of my dog. That said they are overpriced and do not give definite prices, I was given a range and the low end was triple of my expectations going into them. Definitely was made to feel like the bad person for even saying something about the cost. Save yourself the money and stress by taking your pet to a local/non-corporate Vet.
