How to Save Money at Cream Ridge Animal 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.

I have been seeing Dr. Eisen since I was 13 years old when I had my first cat, Cordelia. 35 years later and many more companion animals, I still see Dr Eisen and now Dr. Ruge. I don’t live in the area anymore, but still drive the 40 minutes to have them care for my babies. I cannot say enough, how incredibly fortunate I am that I have this crew in my life. Thank you so much Dr. Eisen for all the years. Dr. Ruge, thank you for being the biggest cheerleader for my Beanie girl, you were mine and Beanies constant during her battle with cancer. Thank you Dr. Wolf for coming in for emergency surgeries.Thank you to Jess, Karen, Amanda and Eric. Beanie loved you all so much! Also Sherma, Joy, and Brooke for always getting me in last minute. Thank you for the kind words and support during all my animal crises, and the tears shed together. You guys are wonderful! I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I just called to ask how much a general visit would be and then I asked for an estimate of how much a rabies vaccine would be and the secretary told me “I don’t have time to be listing prices like I’m a cafeteria” EXTREMELY RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL and uncalled for. My dog was going to be a new patient but this gives a horrible image for their clinic

Absolutely love Dr. Eisen after having to rush my dog to North Star and getting a diagnosis of terminal cancer, Dr Eisen and told me to bring her and she would check her out. Dr. Eisen put together a treatment plan together of pain meds and a special Chinese Herb and told me to let her live her best , it’s been over and year and my dog is doing great . Dr Eisen and the staff is amazing. They all care about your pets like it’s the own fur babies they all go over the top to make sure they have the best care they can receive. I highly recommend them .

I love Dr. Eisen and the staff at Cream Ridge Animal Clinic. My dogs are treated as if they were theirs. They know my dog's habits, likes and dislikes and conduct the visit accordingly. I also love that I rarely have to wait. Appointments are not scheduled on top of each other so it is easy to get in, be seen and get out.
