How to Save Money at Northeast 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.

What a great place this is! We decided to switch over our two boxers to a new place and we had a wonderful experience here! They did everything they could to make our nervous dogs comfortable and feel safe. We really felt like the Vet and staff took their time with our pups and made sure all of our questions and concerns were answered. We are very satisfied. So glad we found our dogs a new, trustworthy home!!!

Update: As hard as we all (it was definitely a village effort!) tried to keep him here Oliver was called home and crossed the Rainbow 🌈 Bridge 2 weeks ago. Dr. Brezicki couldn't have been more loving and compassionate. It absolutely broke our hearts to let him go but it was the right decision. I miss him so much but know he's always with me. Such a special boy that came into my life and SAVED ME. It's definitely a rescue story of "who saved who?". I gave him the best life possible for the 2 years he blessed us with. The condolence card from both of his vet's was the most touching. I have room in my ❤️ and home for 2 babies I'm adopting soon...of course I will ALWAYS have NE Animal Hospital & it's incredible staff as my veterinarian. When I got my rescue cat, Oliver, Pretty Litter showed me that he had a urinary issue and Dr Benham confirmed it. They have given me & my sweet boy so much help - even besides coming in for an appointment, they talk patiently with me on the phone or email me back with answers to questions I have. I just brought Oliver in on Thursday & Friday I had a call from them to check on him. I don't feel like they're doing that because they're "supposed" to but because they truly care and want to make sure he was okay. He is. 🧡 VERY grateful for NE Animal Hospital & the ENTIRE staff- thank you!

Very pleasantly surprised on how my experience went. The vet & nurses were SO nice! They let me ask all the questions and they were so good to my Markle girl. She went from being nervous to feeling comfortable from their adoration and attention to her. They let me rant about when I first got her, how much I love her, and probably showed them way too many pictures. I left the office feeling informed and cared for - a great feeling to have when leaving the vet’s office. So glad that I chose this place to bring my sweet kitten! I can tell she’ll be in good hands.

Northeast Animal Hospital is the greatest. They were kind and understanding when my Pip passed. And now they are good to Marilyn.
