How to Save Money at Whiting Veterinary Clinic
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 was there two weeks ago with my sick senior cat. Even though the visit did not go as I had hoped, the staff there was wonderful. Dr. Adams explained everything thoroughly, discussed options and helped me make the best decision for my cat. It was my first visit there and they treated us with such kindness and compassion. They allowed me to spend as much time as I needed to say goodbye. I would not hesitate to take my next pet to them. In addition, the cost was quite reasonable.

Dr. Wilhem and her assistant are truly top notch after having no good results with receiving my cats prior records from our old doctor up North Jersey. She was able to give me the best advice and proper medical needs for my sweet Pearl. Very highly would recommend this veterinarian's clinic. Truly one of the best ones I have ever been to. Will continue with them for as long as needed. Thank you Dr. Willhem.

The front desk staff are very professional. Our Vet is awesome as she listened to ALL of my requests and obviously cares about my dog as much as I do. The technician was excellent at his job and handled my dog with care as if it was his own. This may sound vague but trust me...all of the dogs they see in a day and they treated mine like they were not there all day! I believe the days are long in this profession but they made my dog matter!!! Thank you to all. "My ear feels better and Mommy is giving me my ear drops for 7-10 days" Love Diamond 💎

Black male indoor cat. 3yo. First animal I’ve raised on my own. Got him neutered, microchipped, and vaxxed when I got him around 6mo old. Was a lazy owner and haven’t been to the vet until today. Heard great things about this place. Not sure if, just a good cat or these people really know what they were doing but my cat complied and let the vets do their thing. Was shocked. The vet was precise and delicate with my buddy. For as long as I live in NJ, this will be Bruce’s vet. Really nice staff. Thanks for a great experience
