How to Save Money at Veterinary Revision

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.

After being told her eye condition was an emergency, all of the ophthalmologist in CT, MA and even NH wouldn’t get us in sooner than a month (and that’s just for the initial visit). Veterinary Revision was the only one who worked with us. First, the online appointment request was very convenient. I was super annoying and emailed them a bunch and they always responded fast and were so helpful even getting me in sooner by being on the cancellation list. Thankfully so because my dogs eye condition got worse quickly and they were able to remove her eye. She is soo much better now that the pain in that eye is completely gone due to the removal. She is back to herself and such a happy one eye dog! Thanks so much! (Photo is only a week and 3 days after surgery - cone off for walk)

Very good experience at the New Windsor location. Received texts and emails about our appointment before and after. Dr Toffelmire and his techs were excellent and patient. He is obviously an expert in this field but explained everything in an easy way. They were fast and efficient as well.

A few weeks ago, I took my 13 year old dog, Dutch, to Dr.Tofflemire at the NY location of Veterinary Revision. He had been treated by other vets for corneal ulcers, with a few weeks of non healing, then eventual progress with some remaining eye issues. Dr.Tofflemire was 100% the best vet I have encountered in 30+ years of pet ownership. Personable, very knowledgeable, professional yet caring, provided thorough information and his staff was super friendly. Worth the 2hr+ drive and very reasonably priced, with no $ surprises which was great. Dutch was diagnosed with glaucoma and responded right away to treatment, and though he can't see from the prior ulcers, he is acting like his happy and goofy little self again. Highly recommend. I wish I had gotten him there sooner. Thank you Veterinary Revision!

Doctor fantastic. Staff fantastic. They are skilled and compassionate. I highly recommend them for the eye care of their pets. Our Truffle had to have both eyes removed. I appreciate that Dr. Kyle first worked to save the eyes. Always told us our options and what he would do if it was his dog. I have friend whose dog had cataract surgery in both eyes. She raves about Dr. Kyle and the entire staff . Thank you to all.

I was very fortunate to find Dr. Tofflemire in Connecticut and he performed eye surgery on my cat, Atticus, in 2023 to remove a cancerous growth. Dr. Tofflemire thoroughly explained the procedure to me and calmed my concerns about it. He was reassuring, and answered all my questions. I could not have asked for a better outcome. It was like a miracle! He and his staff were comforting, professional and caring and I would highly recommend them.
