How to Save Money at Animal Infirmary of Hoboken

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 cats get the best care here, doctors are wonderful and the staff is excellent. Now that AIoH have appointment system, the wait is pretty short and cats don’t get stressed out having to share the waiting room with large dogs. They also have their own pharmacy/prescription food online store, so you don’t have to jump through hoops with uploading and verification of prescriptions at large pet store chains. It’s possible that we’re getting a special treatment here because my cats are the prettiest 😉 Photo was taken and printed as a postcard during the visit. Like I said, wonderful staff 💕

I really appreciate the team at Animal Infirmary. My retriever mix loves the team too! I’ve no idea what we would do without Dr. Childs, Dr. Williams and Eric. Finding a vet when you move to a new place is always stressful, and I’ve been so lucky to find a team my pup and I can trust for all our needs. I bring my dog in for friendly visits every so often because he loves his visits.

Our doctor, Dr Sakane, was very kind, attentive and patient. She clearly explained the different treatment options available. She made a stressful situation easier. The rest of the staff were also great. This was our first visit to Animal Infirmary of Hoboken but it won’t be our last. We look forward to bringing our cats here from now on. Thank you!

Everyone at AIH has been wonderful as I navigate some health issues with my old girl. They are kind, caring, informative, responsive and encouraging. I was so anxious about administering subQ fluids to my girl at home but Dr. Scarangella and her team took the time to show me and answer all of my questions and assured me I could do it and we got it first try! 💪🏻. It’s great knowing my girl has a wonderful care team in her corner. Thanks to Dr. Scarangella and Dr. Snarski and the rest of the team. Much thanks! Grateful to have you in our corner!
