How to Save Money at Freehold 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.

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.

My cat is dying and I just found out last night. The Vet at this place seemed nice and informative and told me she would have his fluids ready and diet plan ready for me to pick up in the morning along with an email of his diagnosis. I received none. No email and she forgot to prepare the fluids for my dying cat. Like really? My Cat is dying and you call me to tell me you’ll have the fluids and his diet tomorrow morning for pick up. She left work last night not even finishing notes about my cat so someone else can help me and she forgot to prepare fluids for my DYING cat. Never again this place forgets dying animals

After founding out my cat Olette was pregnant, she gave birth days later and one of the newborns needed a very delicate reconstructive procedure after he was breeched and momma tried pulling him out. Katie (tech was also AMAZING so comforting knowing I had her throughout the chaos) told me to come in right away without hesitation. Let me tell you... Dr Connelly was so patient and precise, closed up most of his wounds I was completely astounded by her skills (he has a great prognosis so far as a newborn) I was frequent this week, the staff knew Olette by name and the communication (I had 3 different vets) were all in sync for her care plan. The girls at the front desk were very patient with me as I paced around for hours LOL until after they closed. The VCA app I highly recommend to message any of the vets for any questions. They are all so passionate about what they do. Thank you everyone!!

I have been bringing my dog here for about 4 years. He has had some major health issues in his senior years, and I trust everyone at VCA to give him the best care.
