How to Save Money at Seaport 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.

Getting 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.

The most kind and caring veterinarians and staff I’ve ever worked with. My kitty has severe asthma and knowing I have them on my side makes me feel so much better. I switched from another vet, and now I know my baby is in the best hands. Thank you all, especially Dr. L, for all that you do for our family! We appreciate you all so much :)

UPDATE: Dr. Lee is absolutely phenomenal. She reached out to me with genuine concern about my pet. I felt listened to and supported and she was able to prescribe medication for Moose to help him feel so much better. She was extremely empathetic and kind from top to bottom. She is the BEST!! Highly recommend her for your furry friends. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. They run up your bill with unnecessary issues, and never actually get to the bottom of why your dog is actually sick. I brought my dog in for diarrhea, and instead of addressing that issue, they thought he had an ear infection, they were wrong and I still had to pay for it. I had to remind the vet and the tech that I was there for diarrhea, not his ear, and all I walked away with is "we're not sure, but here's a probiotic and a $600 bill". It's now been 3 weeks, and my dog has yet to have a solid stool. During the appointment, they told me they were going to give him an injection for heartburn. They took him out of the room to do it, then brought him back in, and said his heart worm test went great! I'm sorry... what heartworm test??? I came in here for DIARRHEA. FIX THE MAIN ISSUE BEFORE SPIRALING THE APPOINTMENT INTO 100 OTHER THINGS. I do not trust them for one second which is not the relationship you should have when it comes to your pets. If you want your pet to actually get better, DO NOT COME HERE!

I visited Seaport Animal Hospital a few weeks ago as my dog had chipped his tooth. I met with Dr. Smith who I thought was thorough and great and we discussed the possibility of scheduling a tooth extraction and a general cleaning as a next step. Then during the appointment, after the consult with Dr. Smith, my dog went through a few blood tests, etc and we waited for about 20 minutes in the small appointment room without anyone ever stopping by to tell us whether we can go home or what's happening next. When I flagged someone down, he was surprised that we were still here and apologized that someone should have let us know immediately. Then comes the scheduling - I reached out to the staff immediately after the appointment asking for available dates for the procedure within the window of time the doctor had recommended. They said the scheduling isn't ready yet and that they'll reach out once it is. 3 weeks later - no follow up. Today I followed up asking for an update and available dates. Someone calls me telling me that they're ready to schedule his NEUTERING. I had to ask this staff member to please read through the details of his visit and chat with the doctor then reach out to me as this experience has been extremely frustrating. This is very disappointing as I liked Dr. Smith but at this point, I don't feel reassured about scheduling a procedure with anesthesia for my dog at a hospital that seems so disorganized.

They made me feel like they truly cared. The front staff assistants and the doctor were all so awesome. My old lady of 14 years went so peacefully. It really put me at ease. I highly recommend them. Thanks from the bottom of my heart ❤️ Glad I chose you. Didn't get to thank doctor herself, but plan to when I pick up my Dogs ashes.
