How to Save Money at Port Chester 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.

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.

My father has been taking our family dog to Dr. Levy for the past few years, so when I got my own I knew where to take him. All of the staff are incredibly nice and honest. I know our dogs are in the best care with Dr. Levy.

I am absolutely angry and concerned with the poor treatment my dog received under the so-called care of Dr. Levy. After leaving my pup for a simple spaying procedure at 9:30 am, I was left in the dark for three hours without a single update. Upon calling to check on my dog’s progress, I was informed that not only had she been left waiting for all that time, but they hadn't even started the 30-minute procedure. Unbelievable. Despite their assurances that they would take her in immediately, I get a call after 40 minutes from Dr. Levy admitting that he had put my dog under anesthesia before realizing that he didn't have the adequate tools to carry out the surgery. How can a supposedly professional veterinary clinic be so inept and careless? Not only did this turn out to be an unnecessarily traumatic experience for my dog, but when I went in to try and get some answers as to what was happening, Dr. Levy treated me with nothing but apathy and discourtesy. Refusing to let me see my dog, and brushing off my concerns with nary a care in the world. Fast forward to the end of the day when I came to pick up my dog - did they bother to let me know that she'd woken up from the anesthesia at any point? Of course not. Even worse, when I asked for a copy of her medical file, Dr. Levy was outright obstinate and unhelpful, insisting that I come back another day for what was three pages of information. Absolutely unacceptable. I am beyond worried about the quality of care provided by this supposed "professional" and would not dream of recommending Dr. Levy to anyone looking for competent, reliable care for their beloved pets.

I spoke with the vet for the first time about getting my kittens first shots done. He greeted me by asking me what i wanted and began to list the prices… THANKS I’ll go somewhere else.

Dr Levy has taken great care of my dog for the past 3 years. His vet techs and office manager Jane are all very knowledgeable. Dr. Levy has helped us during an emergency and been very thorough in his care. He is great.

Our 5 year old cat, Olive, had become incredibly sick within short time line. Dr Levy was accommodating and professional. His assistant and front desk lady were also very caring. Thank you, Dr Levy and associates. You smoothed the process of helping our love, Olive, over the days that led up to her crossing the rainbow 🌈 bridge
