How to Save Money at Community 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.

I’ve had pets much of my life and this is by far the best vet I’ve experienced. Dr. Bank and PJ were amazing. So informative and caring and they just immediately iinspire confidence and really help make me a confident dog owner. The entire staff is warm and helpful. Not a single eye roll to be found anywhere. The pricing is an improvement over my past experiences. I just love this place.

I can’t say enough great things about Community Animal Hospital. I have two dogs and had struggled finding a vet that I can trust. Dr. Lee takes care of my younger dog and he LOVES her. The animal is the patient and you need to make them feel comfortable with you. That’s what Dr. Lee does with my puppy and he hates going to the vet but melts in her hands when he sees her. Dr. Adelsohn is truly phenomenal. My pup recently had surgery and a complication arose. Dr. Adelsohn took such good care of him. Actually all of the staff were so worried and checked in on him. He had a VIP experience and I am so beyond grateful. Dr. Adelsohn personally called and gave me updates on his condition. We went back today and he is looking good! I am so relieved. 🥰 Again I can’t say enough amazing things about all of the staff from the vet techs who stayed by his side to the office staff. Shout outs: Julian thank you for always making me feel my calls are the number one priority. Bonnie thank you for all your help and kindness every time we visit. Dianne thank you for you help at reception and helping with my pup last week. Peggy thank you for all your help during last week’s intense few days and checking in on us today. Thank you to Dr. Lorig and Dr. Van Burin for all your help with the little guy. (Sorry Dr. V I probably spelt you name wrong)

I have to say this is one of the best places I've ever brought my pets. They seem to be getting better. Back in 2014 I tried a different vet because I felt it was getting so expensive but that other place had very similar prices and was not there for me when I needed them so I came back shortly after. There have been several times when I needed a quick appointment if my dog was having issues and they have been able to give it to me and I thoroughly appreciate that. Today was one of those days and they saw my dog and I'm very pleased with the plan of action that they offered. To me they seem to find just the right course without going overboard but making sure that we take the right steps and they always offer me options. I have seen at least four different doctors there over the years and every single one of them has been really great with my dog. My dog is now 16 and is a bundle of nerves but both the doctors and the techs are always so good with her ❤️

We saw Dr. Cohen, for my 3 yr old cat Mila she was very kind, and friendly. She did a very thorough exam, explained her findings, and did not push for anything more then what she thought was appropriate to treat Mila. She took the time to explain Mila's course of treatment and answered any questions we had (not that she left room for any questions- she explained everything in detail!). Her assistants were so kind and gentle with Mila making her experience as quick & painless as possible. We were very pleased with our visit and would highly recommend Dr. Cohen for all your pet's medical needs :) Thank you!!
