How to Save Money at Chesterfield Veterinary Clinic

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.

Wonderful experience. I called looking to schedule an appointment for my sick gecko and to ask for advice in the meantime. They were able to get me in right away and were incredibly kind on the phone. When I arrived, everyone was so friendly. They treated my gecko with care and kindness. I have had some lackluster experiences at other places when taking a reptile to a regular vet, but they were very attentive and knowledgeable here, including the receptionist. I highly recommend visiting if you have a small reptile.

Highly, highly recommend ----- Super friendly staff and super responsive. Pricing is more than reasonable. I've been a lifetime pet owner and been to vets all of over NJ and this is by far the best clinic I have seen. Kudos to owner and all staff making a huge positive impact on the community. Keep up the great work!

07/24/2023: I have been bringing my dog here for years and always had a pleasant experience with the doctors; but the front desk people are horrible. I just found out my dog has cancer and when checking the schedule they were saying they couldn't get me in for 6 weeks to remove the lump. I asked if they could try to get me in earlier since it was urgent and the lady instantly gave me attitude about it - why?? Because I am concerned about waiting 6 weeks to remove a tumor that is cancerous? Then I was quoted something in the back that was a $50 difference from my final bill and when I said something about what they quoted me, she gave me more attitude and proceeded to say it was not that big of a difference! I What kind of response is that? It isn't so much about the fact that they couldn't get me in earlier or the fact that the prices were misquoted but it was her response and attitude to everything that was absolutely unacceptable. They proceeded to tell me she is just the front desk lady....what exactly does that mean? She's excused from having an attitude because she's just the front desk lady??? Just disgusting behavior all while I'm dealing emotionally with finding out my dog has cancer. They definitely need training on some better mannerism and how to handle the customers inquiries. UPDATE: Had the surgery done within 5 days at another facility that was recommended by a friend. It turned out to be a mast cell cancer which is a rapid growing cancer so who knows how big it would have been by the time Chesterfield would have been able to schedule me for surgery 6 weeks later. It is crazy that they did not take this whole situation more seriously and prioritize her surgery given the circumstances. Luckily the new doctor that I took her was able to give her the necessary treatment she needed in a timely manner and her surgery went perfectly with a successful tumor removal with clean margins.

It’s tough to leave a review, especially a negative one, on a business that I’ve never been to, but sometimes it is necessary. Being new to the area, Chesterfield Veterinary Clinic came highly recommended, and the online reviews give them mostly 5 stars. Well, a few months back, we called and left a detailed message. A week went by then 2 and we still had not heard from them. We called a second time and also left a message. Again no reply. We even drove by the office to see if they were open. Yes, they were. After several weeks we called a different veterinary clinic that actually answers the phone. We got an appointment the very next week. So, maybe Chesterfield Veterinary Clinic is too busy to return calls. Good for them, great business model. I’ll even give them a free pass on not returning our calls, but what I won’t give them is my business.
