How to Save Money at Tribeca Veterinary Wellness
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.
How Do You Choose the Right Pet Insurance Provider?

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
Dr. Berg and her team were absolutely the best vet care team we ever had! We started to go to TVW shortly after it was open. They have showed the utmost professionalism and care above and beyond our expectation. Astro fell seriously ill over the weekend in late 2021 due to a likely tumor previously undetected. We were faced with the very difficult decision to whether prolong his suffering. We contacted TVW to help us weigh in along the emergency vet's diagnosis and recommendation. Even though Dr. Berg was off, the TVW team tracked her down and she promptly contacted us and discussed with us. We later found out that she was taking time off to undergo cancer treatment herself at that time. We were so moved by this. We are so very saddened by Dr. Berg's passing. She was more than just Astro's vet. We talked about running, biking to her home along the greenway. We will dearly miss Dr. Berg and are thankful for getting to know her. We are confident that TVW will continue to provide the highest quality of care like Dr. Berg always did, with selflessness and love that set them apart from other vet offices.

Amazing staff! Doctor and vet tech were so caring and thorough with our pup. They took the time to get to know her history by sitting with us and asking questions as well as requesting her previous records from our former vet (due to relocation). This will definitely be our doggy doctor while we are in NYC. Simply amazing care for our dog !

I've known dr. Berg for several years as she has been taking care of various pets I've had over the years. I am thrilled she had finally opened her own clinic. Your pets couldn't be in more capable and more caring hands. She is a highly skilled, knowledgeable and very professional doctor and I wish google had a diamond star instead of five gold ones because I can't praise her enough. Take your pets there, they will love her and so will you. And say hi to Seeker for me!

Dr. Berg is the best, most dedicated, caring vet in New York (if not the world!). She is unique. She spends quality, hands-on time with our Teaser, learns everything about him, and treats him like her own, if not better! She takes the time to answer every question you might have and leaves no stone unturned, all the while making him feel comfortable and loved. We travel out of our way to see Dr. Berg, and it’s worth it.

Dr Berg was our vet in 2003 when she last worked downtown. We are thankful she’s back in our community and our senior cat Huggy is under Dr Berg’s care. In 2017 we lost our cat Henley. Dr. Berg was everything we could wish for, giving us wise counsel and the compassion we needed to ease our loss. I’ve always dreaded having to euthanize an animal in a vet’s office. I am so thankful Henley died at Tribeca Veterinary Wellness, in a sun drenched room in a caring environment with Dr. Berg and her assistant by my side. Tribeca Veterinary Wellness is a great sanctuary for animals. The staff is fabulous too.
