How to Save Money at Narrowsburg Veterinary
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.

First time visiting this veterinarian office and I’m happy to have taken my kitten here. I’ve called 6 vet clinics in 1 day and this was the only one with any openings that were within a few days of when I called. I’m so pleased to have been able to come here. The staff I met were all nice, professional and comfortable with the animals. Dr. Hess is so down to earth and didn’t “force” any testing, vaccines or treatments that he did not think were necessary. He was very informative and gave his opinion while also allowing me to decide what is best for my Kitty..much appreciated!! He made this process so easy for me and my little feline Raiya! Dr. Hess and the tech Chloe had no issue showing me how to trim kitten nails and I’m so thankful. In my experience with vet visits and the bills that come with them, this clinic is fairly priced. The office is also beautiful and very clean! Looking forward to our next visit. Thank you Narrowsburg Veterinary!!

Great experience. Vet was knowledgeable and yet very approachable. Explained things well without being preachy. And more importantly than telling me what my pet DID need, he told me what she DIDN'T need. He wasn't just trying to rack up the bill. We'll be coming here for all future vet needs, and I have to pass 3 closer vets to do it.

Dr. Hess and his team are amazing. They were all very lovely and kind while I was very nervous about out cat’s condition. They took their time examining our cat, who must have felt all the love since he was surprisingly chill during the entire visit. We didn’t feel rushed and Dr. Hess stayed in the room even after Erik’s exam was completed to go over potential scenarios and treatment. We really appreciated his calmness and bedside manners. The clinic itself is very welcoming too. Cannot praise them highly enough.

Dr. Hess and his staff are professional, kind, and caring. Chloe the vet tech was awesome in taking care of our dog Bleu Belle. The follow-up phone call to us was great we spoke directly with Dr. Hess for test results. I recommend Narrowsburg Veterinary for all your fur babies needs.

Dr. Hess and Leslie are true professionals. Dr. Hess returned my call promptly giving me a ten minute explanation addressing my concerns. After dealing with vets my entire life of having pets, these "guys" are the best of the best. They are caring, compassionate, friendly, and professional.
