How to Save Money at Belmar Wall 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.

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.

I took my dog Belle, a trained service dog, to her the vet...then an alarming incident exacerbated her discomfort--and mine. Belle and I were both sitting on the long, padded bench in the waiting area of this vet's office. Belle was seated on the bench to my left and I sat turned towards her. Without warning a man exited an exam room without holding his dog's leash. His bulldog walked into the waiting area without the owner and then rapidly approached us and then repeatedly lunged aggressively with open teeth at Belle. Shocked and terrified, I screamed as the bulldog's aggression intensified, filling the room with the tumult of the two dogs' disturbance. Remarkably, Belle stayed on the bench, but the bulldog persistently tried to reach her, jumping up and over my legs. Eventually, the bulldog's owner came around the reception desk and into the waiting area, exclaiming something like, "I didn't know there was someone in the waiting room." He then picked up his dog's leash as he began saying that his dog doesn't like other dogs, naming specific breeds. Meanwhile, the receptionist approached the corner of the entry desk without actually entering the waiting area. She glanced into the waiting room and asked if everything was alright. Stunned and shaken, I couldn't respond immediately. The man continued saying how his dog disliked other dogs as he followed the receptionist to the desk to discuss his bill for the visit. I never heard anyone tell him of the importance to hold on to his dog's leash at all times, but she did tell him there was blood on his shirt. It wasn't until I left the office that I discovered the blood on the man's shirt was from my dog (2 punctures on her head). Throughout this entire incident, not a single staff member (there were at least 4) came out to the waiting room to check to see if Belle or I were OK despite all the noises (screaming and dog fighting). When I was finally called to the assigned treatment room, I reported the attack to the assistant and later to the vet. When I tried to explain what happened I was cut off with the statement "I heard." After my visit no one called to ensure that Belle was OK after this aggressive attack. They have been my dog's vet for several years. Why would I, or anyone else, choose a veterinary clinic where no staff member shows concern for a victim of such a distressing incident?
