How to Save Money at Spitzer Jessica DVM

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 want to counteract the one star review left in the Fall of 2023. Dr. Spitzer was just at my house this afternoon to put down our senior dog via Lap of Love. She was wonderful. I met her outside at her car, and we talked a little bit about the decision before she came in and I was able to tell her some details about Rocket. We talked more with her as a family when she came inside. At no point did we feel rushed or that she wasn’t completely gentle with him. She explained everything she was going to do before doing it and then again before she did each step. She was talking to him throughout and she also paid attention to our other dog who was curious/stressed and growling at her. (He stopped growling the minute Rocket passed). I felt the service was excellent and exactly what I had envisioned. At no point did Rocket appear stressed or worried about what was happening.

Dr. Spitzer is a very professional, warm, thoughtful, considerate person and vet that comes to your house at a emotional, difficult time when we need to choose euthanasia for our beloved cat. She makes sure that we are comfortable and so is our fur baby before she proceeds. Dr. Spitzer also provided us a 'paw print" which was both unexpected and a welcome memory. Dr. Spitzer is an exceptional vet that I truly appreciated the service she provided to us in our home.

We love Dr. Spitzer. When the time came to say goodbye to our 14 year-old Chihuahua mix (Delilah), she guided us through the difficult decision, came to our home, and walked us through her euthanasia process. Our teen and 21-year old grew up with this dog and had tied many childhood memories to her. Dr. Spitzer helped comfort our family and followed through with a beautiful, personal letter, offering encouragement, warmth and help if we needed it. She truly understands the importance of our furry family members and is extremely compassionate. We highly recommend her.

Dr Jessica spitzer is a phycopath with absolutely no compassion in her heart at all ! Dr Jessica spitzer and “LACK OF LOVE’” ruined our little baby onyx’s passing and left me and my husband horrified and tramatized! Dr jessica spitzer is the most unprofessional vet I’ve ever met ! Dr spitzer was in our home less than five minutes without warning she ambushed our 16yr old 5 lb very frail,toothless,blind,deaf afraid of everything and in the last stages of kidney failure but not yet in pain and absolutely non threatening to anyone and Dr Jessica spitzer ambushed our tiny baby threw a blanket over her with such force pinning our baby against the arm of our couch then jammed a huge needle in the side of our babies tiny belly leaving her limp body under the blanket!!! We never got to say good bye to our baby and didn’t even get a chance to hold her and comfort her during her passing !!our babies last minutes on this earth was shock,held under a damn blanket alone in fear screaming in pain !!! It was cruel,inhumane and horrific to say the least!!!! Left me and my husband in complete shock and tramatized!!!I wouldn’t even give 1 star !! They both need their licenses removed and never allowed near animals again !!!’
