How to Save Money at Foxwood 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.

They took very good care in helping me and my family let go and find crematory services for my 15 year old baby. Kind and gentle. But there is a note of racism with one of the receptionist having a problem with Mexicans

Always a kind, caring place. It never seems busy. Have taken both cats and dogs and received excellent service.

We just got fired as a client after 20 years because our dog has a dermatitis and the new receptionist said that the primary vet there is now only for vaccinations. When we asked her what good is a primary vet if they are only for vaccinations? She said that she was done with the conversation and that she was firing us as clients. She will be speaking with her manager to discontinue us as clients, then hung up on us. I would understand *that* treatment if I had used curse words or raised my voice, but I only asked a question that seems quite simple to ask. A dermatitis is something simple that would have in the past been a simple office visit, and a prescription of a antibiotics not the added stress of finding a new vet to get my pet in before my shift at work

Very caring about the sensitivity and love we have for our animals, are very well spoken and are very loving when dealing with putting a beloved furry friend that's been around for a long time down.. my kitty Tank.. was very special, had down syndrome. He confined himself to a bench in our garage.. he had everything he needed up there, he adored love and attention, would just go crazy if he was off his beloved bench, he passed away a day before my birthday I believe, and he was purring, peaceful, they are always so kind, so loving. I adore this place as they make their prices reasonable, and they even hold your loved pets how you would... and it really meant a lot as, well.. as I said, Tank was very.. very special.💞

I used to bring my dogs in here 5 years ago or so and always had a good experience. That has unfortunately changed. I brought our new pup in for his last round of puppy shots and to have a nickel sized sore checked out. the first thing Dr. Roberson said after introducing himself, was: "there's a new Dr. here. she mostly does the surgeries because my eyes aren't what they used to be, she's a real nice looking redhead in her 30s." I was uncomfortable and not sure what to say at that point. he moved on with the exam and didn't even bother checking my pup's teeth to help confirm age (so I had to remind him as he was leaving the room) I mentioned the sore I wanted him to check out and he said "Glad you pointed that out, I would've missed it!" Turns out it's apparently a mast cell tumor. I mentioned the pup doing good with my kids so far and he asked their ages. he then proceeded to tell me I was at "that perfect soccer mom age" which was also just really weird and uncomfortable. The entire exam and vaccinations cost me $90. They gave me an estimate on having my pup's mast cell tumor removed, but I will be going somewhere else to gladly pay for an entirely different exam and estimate. I used to love bringing my pets here because of the location mainly, but I will drive out of my way to avoid going here again.
