How to Save Money at Perkiomen 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.

Everyone is so compassionate and caring! My 13 year old Doberman was not eating, had vomited a few times, and seemed sad overall. This seemed to have been brought on all of a sudden. Dr. Roth found stomach x-rays and bloodwork to be normal, so we decided to treat her with medication to fight a stomach bug. Two days later, we noticed that her right anal gland had ruptured and drained blood tinged pus. Instead of her feeling worse, she began to perk up. After another visit, we began to realize her symptoms were most likely the cause of an abscess in her anal gland. Once we began an antibacterial med, she started back on her regular routine, and the wound began to close up almost immediately after it finished draining out the bad stuff a few days later. Because of Dr. Roth's quick actions to start antibiotics, she is still with us today, continuing to enjoy everyday strolls through the yard alongside our cat, turkeys, and chickens. She loves helping me herd them into their coop in the evenings, wagging her tail the entire time. I think this gives her purpose, while she gives me purpose and continuous smiles each and every day! We love you, Lady! ❤️ Thank you, Dr. Roth, for everything! What a great vet clinic to be a part of! Sincerely, Angie & Joe

The staff is amazing, friendly, kind hearted and treat you like family. Kristi is an amazing Vet. She goes above and beyond for her furry patients. Reasonably priced services. You can't find anywhere better. My fur babies absolutely love KIV's!! Highly recommend.

I'd like to thank Dr. Dominic Pulice and the staff at Perkiomen animal hospital.I recently had to decide on trying to save my Mr. Marley (14 yr. doxie/jack) with an operation to remove mast tumors or spare him as the growths were to far advance. It was more than I could bare at this point with other circumstances. They were more than kind, knowledgeable and professional. I personally have seen what goes on behind the doors there thru business and attest to their quality of care. I would recommend them when you need expert care. Thank you, more than words can say.

It’s a nice vet but expect to wait. It’s clean with plenty of nice staff and docs, and they’re pretty good with my dogs. However, it’s frustrating how long we have to wait every time we go, even for the simplest things. It’s almost 15-20 in the waiting room every time. That’s an eternity for my dogs who’s are not calm pups. It’s not the least costly vet I’ve been to but probably not the most costly either. They have better hours and more staff than most local places, so they may need to charge more. That’s understandable, but can we keep on schedule better please! Just saying, time your visits accordingly.

Absolutely love Liz! My family has had a very traumatic year between loss of family members and our 8 year old lab golden mix with diabetes (who we had to retain to walk). Lately our 4 year old golden doodle passed away, Liz and the staff were there the whole way, making sure that he was taken care of and doing all we could to help him. Though 3 blood transfusions and waiting on lab results unfortunately he didn't make it through. I am someone who suffers with anxiety and depression and their support and optimistic attitude has helped me along the way. I couldn't be more grateful for everyone at Perkiomen animal hospital!
