FAQs

Below are some answers to our most common questions.

Here at Gainesville Veterinary Hospital, fees cover what is done for the animal including an examination, administration of tests, diagnosis, treatment, and medications. Some problems can be long term or involve multiple and/or changing causes. Treatment may be ongoing. To an effect a cure is not always possible. You are paying for an honest attempt to diagnose and treat a problem. There is no implied guarantee.

Third-party health insurance is available for pets. As with human health insurance, Gainesville Veterinary Hospital advises you that different companies offer various levels of coverage which have a wide range of deductibles and premiums. There are also certain restrictions on which conditions, injuries, and procedures are covered. Please contact your veterinary facility, which may have more information on this type of insurance.

Gainesville Veterinary Hospital advises that to get a rabies certificate, only a rabies vaccination is needed. This law is in place to protect humans and animals from the spread of rabies. However, the vaccine cannot be administered without the animal first having received a physical examination. It is in the best interest of your pet to get a routine check-up plus all the necessary vaccines as determined by your veterinarian to maintain your pet's good health. There are many infectious diseases of animals, many of them fatal to your pet. The additional cost of the vaccines which prevent these diseases is often quite minimal. Administering vaccines is a safe, easy, and cost-effective way to prevent disease. Many veterinarians have written material on the recommended vaccinations your pet needs and would be happy to provide this to you.

Most puppies and kittens need basic health examinations, checks for parasites and vaccinations. Gainesville Veterinary Hospital will provide general estimates by telephone. If you check with a few hospitals, you will see that fees for similar services do not vary that much. When requesting an estimate you need to be sure exactly what you are getting for the fees charged, and whether there are additional costs for anything else.

Fees are set by each individual veterinary practice and each has different expenses that are covered by the fees charged (i.e., salaries, rent, utilities). Often, the different fees do not reflect the same set of services, although there may be certain basic procedures in common. Each veterinarian within Gainesville Veterinary Hospital sets the fees for services based on varying criteria, such as different drugs, anesthetics, antibiotics, medical techniques, and products, which may have a bearing on the cost of the service.

Not only is it unethical and illegal to prescribe for an animal that a veterinarian hasn't physically examined, but it is also impossible to come up with an accurate diagnosis and rational plan of treatment. A veterinarian here at Gainesville Veterinary Hospital can't make a diagnosis based on symptoms only as observed by an owner. The outward signs may be an indication of any number of internal causes with a wide variety of clinical treatments. A complete physical examination and other diagnostic tests are required to determine the cause of the symptoms and the best course of treatment.
