How to Save Money at Williamsburg Animal Clinic

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.

Nothing special Vet - went because it was convenient but there are plenty of Vets in Williamsburg & I will be taking my furry friends and business elsewhere! 1. I made a check up visit with my Cat and requested the standard protocol - and the doctor braces me with trigger words like Cancer and Kidney Failure - and that we shouldn’t cut any corners. So we opt for blood work and I step to the front desk and they say my balance is $600!!!! No itemized breakdown, until I wouldn’t provide a card without it - Included in this payment was $100 worth of unnecessary cat food. 2. I then call to pick up the antibiotics needed after said blood work - and simply ask the reception what the medication costs - and they said they don’t know and the doctor will have to tell me when I arrive. Who operates like this? How do you not have this standard information readily available in my chart? 3. I now have to drop off and work 9-5 like the average person, and am running behind in the rain. So I ask if they can ensure someone is there so I can drop off the sample, as I’m already on my way — to which the reception says, they close at 6 and can’t guarantee someone will be there — if you can’t wait 5-10 minutes for a client — then why are you operating a medical facility? This is basic care, human or fur-baby ethics. Two Stars is Generous, honestly.

Never been here but found an old receipt for this place lol. So just wanted to thank Dr. Diaz for checking up on a tiny feral kitten from almost 13 years ago. Just wanted to show you how he's grown up. Now that my sister and I are starting to make some money we spoil him very much (the sweaters are for winter, he likes to be cozy, we've found him under our blankets a couple of times). He was such a tiny thing for being only two months old back then sadly I don't have many pictures since at the time we only had film cameras. For such a small body he has a lot of fight in him you'd be surprised, his paws have enough strength to shake a door as he tries to open it. He apparently gave those trying to catch him quite a challenge. If you happen to remember some details from back then I would appreciate it, if not its ok it was more than a decade ago.

One of the best in NYC and state! They sincerely care it’s not a money trap and they have great knowledge of what they’re doing. They took beyond great care of my Summer and Winter I recommend 1000 %

We've been seeing Dr. Diaz for 12+ years and he has treated 3 of our dogs now with the utmost care and concern. Dr. Diaz has always answered all of our questions informatively and compassionately. Along with his staff, Dr. Diaz is very helpful in making sure we get in and out of his office as quickly and efficiently as possible. We recently bought in our 13-year-old dog, Mia, after she had a seizure, and we thought we'd have to put her down. Dr. Diaz saw her the next day and was able to diagnose her and gave us hope that she'd recover. He's been treating our senior pup since she was 3 and we are very glad to say that she's recovering marvelously. Would highly recommend building a relationship with Dr. Diaz and his clinic because they truly do care about our furry friends! Thank you, Dr. Diaz + staff for always being there in our time of need!

Seemed like a good place when I took my friends cat for a visit thinking it was fair. But the way dr. Ueda made me feel like I wasn’t taking proper care of my cat because I didnt want to spend money on further testing besides only coming for her required shots. Cleaned my cats ears without consent and charged me on too of that first visit. Not to mention I called before a spay asking will I be owed anything so I can be financially prepared and the receptionist said no. Be honest , I wont be mad. Who knew this place would charge $1000 for a spay. Dont come here unless you want to feed into money hungry schemes or be looked at as if you dont care enough about your pet because you werent aware of the unexpected costs
