How to Save Money at Spring Valley 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.

Doctor Saunders is the #1 veterinary in New York state. She knowledgeable, professional and most importantly, caring. She cared, cured my 3 cats. Sad to say I have only 2 now. The 3rd was adopted off. I recommend Spring Valley Animal Hospital to all pet parents looking for amazing pet service. Doctor Saunders will always be my veterinary. 🤗🤗🤗

Worst service. Wasn’t even Able to schedule an appointment for my kitten after trying for a week and some change. And when I did get in contact with somebody they told me they’ll call me back and never did. Call them the next day and there’s nobody taking calls now. Thank God I found another place.

We've been going to Dr. Saunders for over 20 years! Always excellent, thorough with our fur babies. Dr. Saunders and staff are very well experienced and truly love the fur babies. They are in demand, Dr. Saunders is the Best Vet you will find in the county! Highly Recommend going to her practice in Spring Valley and if you've cats, also Cat Care Clinic in Nyack. She's got a lot of experience under her belt, as does her staff and will leave no stone unturned. She's successfully gave chemo to one of my dogs; when other vets said put her down. Dr. Saunders had my canine child living a good quality of life for several more years! Now we bring all our cats and dog to her. Top of the line treatment and knowledge are worth it, and she's more reasonable than other local vet's. Thank you, Dr. Saunders and staff! Much love from our family here! ❤🐾

I've known and have gone to Dr Maureen Saunders for over 30 years! Both cats and dogs alike are treated as important members of your family!! She is thorough, compassionate and nothing short of brilliant! Her staff is wonderful as well and their passion for animals is obvious! I love my animals and would not think of ever going anywhere else!
