How to Save Money at Animal Hospital of Sayreville
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.

Dr Spin is truly the BEST vet I have ever had. He is about helping your pet and always finds a way to make himself available even in emergencies. Love him and his staff. Just great!

Dr.Joe is awesome. He really cares and he is always teaching and showing his techs what to look for. I bring my 7yr old daughter to vet appointments and everyone in the office is so nice to her. She wants to be a vet when she grows up now. Thanks!

Dr. Spinazzola is wonderful. He is patient and tries to explain everything that is going on. If you are having trouble deciding next steps of care he will share his personal experience and discuss options. This is not an animal hospital that just “wants money” they believe in the best care of your furry family member. He was amazing when it was time for my cat (Koda) to go across the rainbow bridge, and I still go to him for my pup. He even calls you after hours with blood results and so on. This place and specifically Dr. Spinazzola is amazing… The wait time though, that can get to you sometimes, but whatever is best for your fur kids the wait is worth the care

I brought my cat here and as a first-time (nervous) pet owner Dr. Spinazzola eased all my fears and was very helpful and knowledgeable. I really appreciate him taking the extra time with me to explain things and answer my questions, and even show me how to clip my cat's nails! I continue to bring her here and every visit is wonderful. The staff are always kind and pleasant as well. They answer your calls and get back to you in a timely manner. Dr. Spinazzola and staff all truly care about animals and love what they do, and it shows.

Always had a wonderful experience. The staff are very good at their jobs! They are patient and answered all my questions. Even though my cats hate being brought to the vet, the staff are great at keeping them calm. Will continue to bring them here!
