How to Save Money at Absecon 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.

Everyone was so nice and helpful! Dr. Chris Lambert was very clear with communication each step of the way. He was able to identify my cat’s issue and provide a plan of action, which has been completely successful! I could not be more thankful for their amazing service

Louie Beau Rudy is on the mend after his emergency visit and admission to AVH. We are very grateful for every staff member that helped us that evening. Everyone was professional, polite, compassionate, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend AVH.

An absolutely wonderful experience in the midst of anxiety over our pet's health. Caring, detailed, responsive ... I could go on and on. Although it was an emergency, we are making AVH our permanent veterarian service. Everyone from the front desk to the doctors all deserve accolades. Extremely caring and fully informed us.

Our beloved dog rapidly declined last week and we were desperate to help. we took her to a closer animal hospital, and they treated a minor issue but not the seizures she had been having. the seizures got worse and every hospital i contacted made me feel like i was just a bill and crazy for caring for my dog. i called absecon and, let me tell you, they saw that i was not going crazy and that my girl was gravely ill and told me to rush over. when we got there, they were outside carrying her in for me and immediately began treatment. they confirmed she had a more serious issue going on and made me and my fiancé feel heard and loved. unfortunately, she was too far gone when we got her there, but they helped us through the process and i truly feel like they felt every ounce of pain we felt with us. a tech we didn’t see at all came in while we said our final goodbyes to our sweet girl and told us that she had to let us know what an angel our girl was. i even asked an absurd request for them to get a lock of her hair (our girl was completely bald) and the tech joked with me she’d need a straight razor. well, i got her ashes today and i had a lil patch of hair. if you want a vet genuinely that cares for not only your vet but you as well, absecon is the best in our area. thank you for loving our girl as much as we do.
