How to Save Money at Petco Vaccination Clinic
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.
Reviews from Google
This visit was poor for two reasons - 1) the credit card machines were down and only cash was being accepted and 2) the vet technicians with Vetco on 10/22 at 991 Second Ave , NYC were really terrible. The actual vet was wonderful but I felt bad for her to be working with two such incompetent individuals. One told me that NYC is now a sub-tropical climate in order to upsell me. They also didn't seem to understand that you could be helping more than one customer at a time. When one customer is asking an excessive amount of questions, it would be necessary to move them to the side and have one vet tech help them while the vet and other tech help the next person. They were so inefficient at working. Again, the vet was wonderful, but I really felt bad for her.

I got vaccinations for both of my cats here. With Covid you now have to schedule an appointment in advance and since they fill up quickly you have to do it anywhere from 2-4 weeks in advance. Kind of nice though because now you don't have to wait in line for hours as you normally would. They have text messaging confirmations which is convenient. I was running 5-10 minutes late for my appointment because my one cat is a beast and I had trouble getting him in his carrier. Petco texted me asking if I would still be making it to my appointment, so I was able to confirm via text. Check-in was quick and efficient, and my cats were seen within 10 minutes. The vet and vet tech were very gentle and kind to me and more importantly to my cats. For 3 year rabies and 3 year FVRCP it was $58 (per cat). Really happy I discovered Vetco, my neighborhood vet was charging me upwards of $300 for each of my cats during their yearly visit, which I obviously cant afford right now. Thanks covid.
