How to Save Money at Station Plaza Veterinary Group
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 can’t say enough on how happy I am with Station plaza Vet, they are so knowledgeable and you can’t beat their prices. I paid 4 times the amount at a vet in Roslyn who basically did nothing. The vet made me and my dog feel at ease with her kind way, I highly recommend it his vet!

$193 for a yearly checkup on a dog! Shop around and see for yourself if that's a fair price. Been there a couple of times before wisening up. Entitled staff IMO Not recommended Shop around

I originally posted a glowing review. The vets here are caring people, and they were helpful to me with my occasional rescue work and my own cats. A few months ago however, that all changed. My rescue cat Lexi had an old stitch that was not removed (this was prior to my adopting her and had nothing to do with Station Plaza), and this office did not handle it correctly. To make a long story short, three botched surgical procedures here to remove one stitch turned into a life-threatening situation for Lexi. She had to have emergency surgery with a specialist to repair what had been done here. This office is lovely and fine for routine care, but in my experience as a former animal shelter employee and long-term pet owner, anything more complex should be done elsewhere.

I had to put my sweet girl down today and felt compelled to write this review for this wonderful place. I am not the first one to struggle with the decision as to when it is time for your dog or pet to cross the rainbow bridge. Both Vets are warm and compassionate people. When we arrived the entire staff knew why we were there and the warmth I felt from the moment I walked in was was extremely appreciated. The Dr carefully explained everything and reassured me we were making the right decision. The experience for my dog was peaceful and she experienced no pain. As difficult as today was I left knowing we did the right thing and thankful my dog was no longer suffering. I hope I never have to do it again but if I do I would only go back here. Lastly, if you are struggling with whether you want to be in the room at the time, I assure you you do. Your pet deserves to be looking into the eyes of the person who loves them most when they pass on. It’s difficult but I promise you that he or her will feel your love and be comforted and you will feel at peace knowing their journey is complete free of pain and stress. Thank you Kristen and Cathy and the entire staff.
