How to Save Money at All Paws 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.
Reviews from Google
I, unfortunately, have to agree with some of the other unfavorable reviews. I took my 12 year old cat here for a probable euthanizing, and was told after the initial consult at the desk that I would not be allowed in the exam room "for COVID" reasons (in September of 2023). I told the doctor that I had level 3 masks in the car and since I worked at the hospital I would be happy to wear one, but no was still the answer. Regretfully I went through with this anyway because my cat was clearly suffering. I listened to him crying in the exam room and felt helpless listening from the waiting area, a cat who almost never cried over anything and I feel like he may have been mishandled in some way - but I will never know. Dr. gave my cat a tranquilizer first, which was nice, and returned him to me and my son for a few minutes while that took effect. My cat did eventually doze off from that ten minutes later, at which point Dr. took him behind the partition again and gave him the lethal dose. I guess ? my cat slept through that - again, I have no way of knowing. This experience keeps me awake at night. My suggestion - if you are looking for a humane end-of-life solution for a pet you adore, please go somewhere else. Your pet deserves to be loved by you at the end and I feel that my cat did not get the tenderness he was due at this office.

I have been going to All Paws for years! Dr Kass is very knowledgeable and very careful with diagnosing! Office is not filled with dog food...toys and leashes for sale to add to your vet bill!! Very reasonably priced!

Dr. Kass was very experienced and knowledgeable and friendly and professional. He took care of my 12 year old cat when she stopped eating and had pain while using the litter box. He was thorough in checking her. I am following his instructions regarding her care. I am very pleased with all he did. I would Highly recommend Dr. Kass and All Paws Veterinary Hospital.

I really wanted to have a good experience at this place because my husband and I are belmar locals however it was just as the other negative reviews explained. The office set up is unorganized and anxiety provoking from the start. The only person working is the vet himself which was fine however due to “COVID” you are not allowed in the exam room. As my dog listens and commands when I am in her presence I was pushed away when wanting to go in with her. I had to listen has she wept insanely and I felt hopeless that I couldn’t do anything to comfort her or even know what is going on. My partner is a healthcare provider for humans and asked the diagnosis of my dogs foot and he said “I don’t know what it is and anyone who tells you they know is lying.” I am still shaking from the experience 10 hours later. I thought this was going to be a great experience however it was one of the worst vets I have EVER been to and I have had dogs for 20 years. The only thing going for this place is that is cheaper than most..you get what you pay for I guess. I will not be back.
