How to Save Money at VetIQ Petcare
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.

Don't even start your pet going to this Fishkill location. They're never open. Don't return calls. I did for my puppy. Set up his next vaccination appt because there can't be big gaps in between some series of shots. This Vetiq cost my puppy to start all over with his shots,I'm out another $187 because of them. I had to find another vet office to see my puppy. And that wasn't easy in a time when office's will only see so many animals a day. I wouldn't advise anyone to go here.

I was beginning to panic as my dog showed signs of an ear infection and all local veterinarians were booked. The earliest appointment I could get was four days out. I heard about Vet IQ opening an office in the same building as Wal-Mart. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they recommended an arrival time that same afternoon. I was a bit sceptical about the check in process of scanning a barcode by the entrance to register and get my place in line but it was quick and easy and we were inside after a short wait in the car. I can not say enough about the entire staff at this facility. Warm and welcoming and really treated my baby well. And get this, they thanked me for trying them. My best friend is now on the mend as I left with the necessary medication and the first dose already administered. Thank you Cindy Weagley (Vet) and your excellent staff. I'll happily recommend you to anyone looking for a pet health services.

Stay away!! They overcharged me in excess of $50!!! Woman at counter didn't give me a receipt said it would be emailed. Charge me twice for a rabies shot for my cat and did not add my coupons. The woman at counter was not wearing a mask for COVID as requested by governor.

I’m sorry for giving this review but the last 2 times we went there the female at the front desk the vet tech I believe she has a poor attitude! Then I was told to take my cat to my vet instead because they couldn’t see her! In the past they would see cats if they had respiratory infection and treat them with an antibiotic and that’s the reason why I went there and they are 5 minutes from my home and my vet is a half hour away and most times you have to wait a week or more to get an vet appointment. The 1st thing when going into a business is how you are treated and if you are not friendly why would you want to go back to that business! That’s how you lose your customers!

I live 30 minutes from this place the three times I went there they were not opened today was the last straw I ended up going to the one in Monroe NY and a lady that was there also said I don't understand they confirmed my appointment
