How to Save Money at Greenwood Veterinary Care

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've taken my cat here a couple of times - once for a general check-up after I got her, and once for a little tummy issue. The staff is very nice and professional, the facitlity is clean, communication is clear (and at no point have I felt like someone was trying to sell me something that my pet didn't need). Very grateful to have found this little gem of a vet clinic - thanks so much to everyone!

My recent visit and exchange with Greenwood Vet Care with my dog was courteous, prompt, informative, and proactive toward next steps in a clear organized way. The receptionist who handled my initial call, the vet assistant/tech who asked check up questions about my dog, and the veterinarian who explained conditions and care - they were all approachable and kind. The vet tech suggested purchasing a tooth paste online and the vet explained follow up options kindly.

Everyone is so helpful and my dogs are treated so well. Love the follow up emails. We've seen different doctors here and theyve all been really nice. Their other location at Bensonhurst is just as amazing.

I cannot say enough good things about Greenwood Veterinary Care. They took amazing care of my cat who needed several teeth extracted. Thank you to the entire team!

On June 28th I took my Shorkie Morocco to Greenwood veterinary clinic to be neutered. He was 16 months old and the epitome of good health. After surgery he came home in discomfort and was given medication to help with pain along with antibiotics. Morocco at 1st seemed to be getting better and yet we noticed a decrease in his appetite and he seemed very lethargic. We returned to the veterinarian and we were told he had a low grade fever and they administered fluids. He came home with more antibiotics which we attempted to give him to no avail. Our dog continued to get sick and we were told to take him to the ER upon the doctors recommendation. Once we got there we were told he was in bad shape with bloody stools and they did an ultrasound that revealed that he had severe liver and pancreas damage ! Our dog was healthy and fine two weeks prior and now is no longer with us. Had we been told that neutering should have been done earlier we would’ve never went through with this and now our beloved Morocco is dead! Never will I recommend nor ever take my pet here again. I’m grieving terribly and no condolences will change the fact that they were in part responsible for the passing of my dog!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s beyond me how the doctor could not give us any clear explanation how a healthy dog two weeks ago could have severe liver and pancreas damage when the only thing that we were giving him were the antibiotics that they prescribed!!! Clearly someone dropped the ball our dog was perfectly healthy in fact how do you not been healthy they would’ve never gone through with the procedure and now days later my dog is dead!!! RIP MOROCCO ! This picture was taken a day before surgery The 2nd photo is my sweet Morocco fighting for his life in the ER and yet neither his Vet or the ER doctors can explain how a perfectly healthy dog gets severe liver and pancreatic damage in such a short time post op ! This is clearly a crime! The only person I believe who was legitimately concerned was Christine at Greenwood. I would’ve preferred that they told us not to go through with this and now he is no more.My family is deeply saddened and grieving !
