How to Save Money at Animal Clinic of Newmark

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.

Dr. Cupp and his staff are more than amazing. Not only do they love animals, but they treat each patient like they were their own pet. They are informative and more than willing to ask any questions you may have. Prices are great and they are on top of reaching out to remind you about upcoming appointments and when your pet is over due for shots. I have been taking my 2 cats there for the past 12 years and I wouldn't go anywhere else! Great job New Mark animal center!

If you have cats don't go here. I came here a few months ago to have blood work done on my senior cat because he had lost a little weight and was being finicky about eating. Told me everything looked fine except his liver enzymes were a tad out of wack. Told me to give him this medication called denamarin. Turns out it's not even medication. Its just a liver support supplement. Tried to charge me 90 dollars for it when I could get it off chewy for 32. Fast forward a month my cat still loses weight. I ask if I can get antibiotics to make sure it's not a bacterial infection in his liver. Was told to bring him in to have his thyroid checked because on his blood work originally he came up borderline for hyperthyroidism. He never told me that and only told me something looked slightly wrong with his liver. I bring him in and he doesn't even want to do the thyroid test because now my cat's skin had started to turn yellow and he said he suspected liver cancer. Yet never did a liver biopsy never confirmed anything with a test. Sent my me and my cat home with steroids to "make him comfortable" instead of giving me hyperthyroid medication because his symptoms prior to that were text book hyperthyroidism minus the yellowing skin. Liver damage (yellowing skin) usually occurs as a secondary effect to an underlying condition like hyperthyroidism. I can literally feel the enlarged thyroid gland in my cats neck myself. I have a very close friend who is a vet in NY and he looked over my cats bloodwork himself. He told me he should have given my cat hyperthyroid medication and perhaps he would still be here. I feel like I failed my cat for bringing him here to an incompetent "professional" who clearly only cared about trying to milk money out of me and making the situation worse so he could get even more money out of me. Worst experience of my life and I couldn't be more upset with the lack of care I received here. My baby paid the ultimate price for it too and is now being put to sleep.

Dr. was very knowledgeable and gentle with our cat. The assistant was very skilled at making our pet feel safe. Reasonable prices, minimal paperwork. Very efficient, for minor issue we were in and out in less than 1/2 hour. Great experience.
