How to Save Money at Woodbridge Veterinary 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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.

We ❤️ Dr. Broderick! Since we moved to Connecticut, we have only trusted this team with our two dogs. After doing a ton of research and personally experiencing their care for a year, I’m confident we found the best team imaginable. Our larger dog Leo loves coming into the office, and will wait at the door wagging his tail until someone comes in. It’s a real testament to how kind the team is to him, and how gentle Dr. Broderick is when he is in pain. Our high-maintenance senior chihuahua has been in frequently. On our very first visit, Dr. Broderick spent a commendable amount of time and care reviewing her (lengthy) records with me to ensure he understood her medical history. No other vet we have seen during her 15 years has been so conscientious. His team is also very gentle with her, which is very impressive since she is both fragile and quite squirmy. On our most recent visit, Dr. Broderick even fit us in to a last minute appointment (and stayed well after closing) when she had a sudden health issue pop up. I can’t say enough good things about the entire team. I’m consistently impressed by their willingness to go the extra mile but also make very reasonable recommendations. With two aging pets, my only wish is we would’ve found this veterinary office sooner.

Dr. Broderick is a fantastic vet. His office is spotless and he takes a great deal of time with Teddy, my goldendoodle. I have always been very impressed by the depth of his knowledge. His response to any query is always very prompt and thoughtful. I cannot recommend him more highly. Vivian Shipley Harris

They went out of their way to help me with my cat who use to be a barn cat & is afraid of ppl. They also calmed me down when another vet threatened to put him down if he were to bite. They made my life easier & will continue to care for my boy as needed!!
