How to Save Money at Lenox Hill Veterinarians
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 love Dr Putter. Have tried so many vets in the city and many of them feel dissociated/detached and / or transactional. The front desk, the nurses and the vets there are all down to earth and genuine. Highly recommend trust me do not go to bond vet. It’s transactional for them there

Dr. Putter is the best veterinarian ever. Did extensive dental work on our senior dog who is feeling much better. He gives our dog such great medical care that I wish he could be my doctor too.

Dr. putter and the entire team at Lenox Hill Veterinarians are absolutely amazing. They have been so caring as we have been navigating some health issues with my dog. I have been in office to pick up meds or have a checkup appointment almost 1x a week for the past month and have seen interactions with the staff and other patients. They’ve been kind, patient and attentive with everyone who’s walked through the door! As for my dogs care I will not be going to another vet for as long as I live in the city. Dr putter genuinely cares about my pet, he has a dry sense of humor and his bedside manner may come off as direct but I’d rather that than have someone muddle their thoughts to appease me. Yes he is busy, yes sometimes time gets away from them, but I have never felt that i was not given 100%.

Dr. Putter is, hands down, the most caring vet I could ever hope to find. Smart, experienced, kind, never upsells. Wonderful caring staff as well. I feel very supported here and trust them completely.

Lenox Hill Veterinary is really amazing. We worked with Dr. Sanchez with our Maltese with multiple serious issues and the doctor was really helpful and the facility is great. Highly recommended!
