How to Save Money at Edgewood 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.

Dr Taylor is compassionate, patient and thorough. He always takes the time to explain things to me, my appointments are never rushed , and he ALWAYS returns my phone calls when I have concerns. The staff are friendly, efficient and kind. I love this clinic and would never take my animals anywhere else.

I've been going here for years, and have been seeing Dr. Mark Wright maybe since the late '90's or early 2000's (I can't recall) but it's been a long time. Dr. Mark took great care of my dobermans, and our Chessies. We recently had our boy Grizz in because something was very wrong (I assumed he hurt his back from a jump, but his gums were white too). We called on a Mon morning as soon as they opened, and they got us in about an hour later, and for that I'm forever grateful. I'd never met Dr. Moffa, and could tell that he was experienced in what he does as a veterinarian. He examined Grizz, took the x-ray, and shared his findings which weren't good. Fearing the worst (but remaining hopeful) he sent us to the ER in Bel Air. Unfortunately for us, Grizz laid in my arms and crossed the Rainbow Bridge that day. Dr. Moffa called me later that morning, to offer condolences. He was genuinely sorry, from one human to another, and I just think that is something wonderful. Thank you Dr. Moffa for your kindness and empathy at such a difficult time. We even received a sympathy card from the team at Edgewood Vet Hospital. These little things mean so much. Thank you all.

My dog went here to 10 years. 10 freaking year and when I call to tell them my dog is sick and all details they say sorry can't see him to the 10th or 11th. My dog was weak and could hardly walk called the Animal Emergency Hospital got in with them. To find out that he has life threatening diabetes, enlarge liver, prostate issues, 105 temp, arthritis, eye problems and chipped hip/pelvis bone. The arthritis and eyes are understandable. The chip in hip/pelvis is understandable too because he was weak and couldn't really jump. We had to put him down since this vet never searched for diabetes something that is by what the Animal Emergency Hospital said common in his breed! Never going here they are money greedy people! If you don't know your doing get out of the vet work and let people who actually care do it. No one and I mean no one should have to put there pet down because you don't care! RIP Shadow 9/10/2021- 7/2/2023 P.S. stop giving wrong anibotes the anibotes for his losing hair didn't work!
