How to Save Money at The Spay & Neuter Center of New Jersey

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 don’t usually leave reviews but I have to say I wasn’t sure what to expect from the Spay & Neuter Center with it being a lower cost surgical center but they exceeded my expectations by miles. Completely professional, easy drop off and pick up, answered my anxiety filled questions with kindness and very reasonable cost for a spay of a two year old dog who unbeknownst to me, was actually in heat. On day five post surgery and no complications, wound looks great, no swelling, no infection and my pup doesn’t seem distressed or in pain. For anyone looking to spay/neuter and not getting taken for a ride by their vet (I got quoted almost 2 grand) do not hesitate to call them.

Amazing service! I brought my baby boy in to get neutered, and the staff was incredibly friendly. They patiently answered all my questions and guided me through every step of the recovery process. Highly recommend!

THIS PLACE SAVED MY DOGS LIFE. I cannot thank this place enough. We noticed my 9 year old pit bull was bleeding from her private parts and seemed in pain, we took her to Oradell animal hospital and they diagnosed her with pyometra, which is fast acting and fatal without surgery. The surgery at the hospital was going to cost 12 THOUSAND! We do not have that money and the only other option was to put her down. I was absolutely devastated and wasn’t going to give up on her, so we did our research. I called 12 different vets, each one stating we would have to bring her in first for a checkup and after the checkup they would give us a price quote. Finally, I called The Spay and Neuter center of New Jersey. I was in tears as I explained the situation, and the woman who took my call was compassionate, attentive and was taking the situation as seriously as we were. They let us bring her in for the surgery immediately (even after I told them she was a reactive dog) and within 3 hours we had our baby back. The people working there were all absolutely incredible and made me feel so much better. The surgery was 2,000, so they saved us not only 10 grand, but saved my babys life. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Always a great time coming here. They have a great system in place to make the process flow smoothly. (Drop off time & Pickup time) Most of everything your pet needs is included besides mandatory shots// a more comfortable collar. Instructions are clear from start to end. :) Thank you again!
