How to Save Money at Yardville 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.

Went to this vet for our new kitten's vaccine series and general health. Was hoping to build a solid relationship but instead was lied to multiple times. Arrived for what was told would be a tech (vaccine-only) appointment and instead was charged for a doctor's visit AND the vaccine. Then was told to make another 4th vaccination round after being told previously that this one (3rd) would be the last. These people will take your money with a smile on their faces, folks. Also they'll upsell useless 3rd party products and services because they are literally scheduling lunches with Purina reps during your appointment. Steer clear if you want a trustworthy vet, go somewhere else. Skeevy business.

Absolutely LOVE Yardville Animal Hospital. The entire staff, from the Doc to the techs, are so friendly and my pup, Tommy Pickles, loves them. They explain everything thoroughly and have frequently followed up with me to see how my dog was doing since he's been dealing with some major medical issues. You can feel how much they actually care about our pets. I could not recommend this place more.

I have been going to this vet for over 6 years and it has always been a frustrating time first one of my cats got sick and started having seizures I called them and they took a look at him and said it was only gas!! Two weeks later he was dead!!! Then I have been taking my other cat there and I have never been aloud in with her and on multiple occasions I have showed up with my cat and they tell me my appointment is wrong and need to come back and even once charged me for the miss appointment. They say they email reminders but I have told them multiple times I do not have email and I only have what I wrote down when I spoke to them. I also believe they do only care more about them selves than the animals because I am switching my cat to another vet and they gave me her records and they have my cat in there system as a MALE and black and white!!! She is a female and she is grey!! I truly feel so bad for my cat going in there without me who knows what they did!!

If I could give 10 ⭐️s I would! After a terrible experience with another vet, we were lucky enough to get introduced to Dr Samet and staff. They are always professional and knowledgeable. But more importantly, they are kind. My dog has never been happy about going to see a vet, and in the past had been so hesitant to go that it would take 2 grown adults to get her in the door. She senses when we get close to Yardville Animal Hospital and will almost willingly go into the office. Dr Samet and the staff have always been there for our old girl. They’ve answered questions, guided us through treatments and have genuinely showed care and compassion for not only our pup but us as well. I count my blessings for crossing paths with Dr Samet!

I've owned dogs for most of my adult life. This is by far the best Vet practice I have ever been to. Sr Samet and staff have treated my 2 Potcakes with nothing less than care and love.
