How to Save Money at Paramount Animal Care
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.

I thought I would have to try out a few vet clinics before finding one that I really loved. I'm happy to say I started with Paramount Animal Care and I plan to stay! The staff was incredibly friendly, from reception to the nurses and vet himself. They took the time to answer any questions we had about our new puppy while also giving our puppy tons of love and attention. Overall it was a great experience and I'm so thankful I don't have to "shop around" for vets.

Dr Mark and his team are absolutely wonderful! It is always a pleasure working with them professionally as a veterinary compounding pharmacist as well as personally as a pet owner since they care for my cats and dogs. They go above and beyond with their caring attitudes and excellent pet care. I would highly recommend them for anyone in search of a new veterinarian!

Dr. Mark Fineman and his staff are excellent. We just had our Goldendoodle spayed and they answered all of our questions, called to report she was out of surgery and doing fine and gave us a pick-up time. When we picked her up they explained the post op care and gave us a printed copy. The next day we received a call checking to see how she was doing. We started going to Dr. Mark when we got our puppy at 7 weeks (she is now 7 months) and we feel we have made an excellent choice for her care.
