How to Save Money at Modern Vet Care

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.

WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! As a new client with a 7 month old kitten and my first visit to get his neuter, it couldn’t have been smoother! Easy to communicate with, and a comfortable environment, you feel like family and your pet knows they’re in a safe place - thank you! (Plus, there’s an adorable pair of kitties to greet you 😻😻)

If I can give Modern Vet Care a million stars I would. I have never met such a loving, compassionate group of people in my years of owning pets and going to vets. To make a very long journey short, I came to Modern Vet Care helpless and desperate for a 2nd opinion on my very sick Mango they did absolutely everything I mean exhausted every possible thing they can do to make him better. I was there every week with him. Unfortunately my baby boy Mango just could not fight off the infection and he ended up passing away at home. I brought him to Modern Vet Care to get cremated and get his ashes. I got a hug and thanked them for everything. When I went to pick up his ashes the following week and when I got home I looked through everything and I was just overwhelmed with so much love on how above and beyond they went to give me as much memories of him. I got pictures of his paw prints that I can frame, a beautiful card written by all the staff members, flower seeds to plant and this is the one that had me bawling even more than I already was. We opted out to pay to get his paw print molded on this clay plaque and THEY STILL GOT IT FOR US. I miss my Mangocito and think about him everyday. I will never forget him and he will always have a place in my heart. I am so thankful to still have a part of him his sister Kiwi! I am also so thankful that she has a such a amazing Veterinarian group to go to and provide for her.

Wanted to make sure I left a 5 star review. I was recommended by a friend (also a vet) to Modern Vet Care for a dental procedure. I wanted to make sure my 14 year old dog Wally was in good hands under anesthesia especially with his age. We traveled all the way from NJ to Astoria and I would do it again in a heartbeat! Dr. Emily and Ashley went above and beyond in caring for Wally and successfully removing 8 teeth. The procedure went smoothly and he healed perfectly in time with proper care and medication. He was no longer in pain, back to his happy self. Unfortunately Wally passed away recently from old age but I wanted to thank the Modern Vet Care team for their genuine concern and care for Wally while he was here. Thank you!!

I wish I could give ten stars. I thought my cat had a UTI on a Friday as she was using her litter box almost every 5 minutes. I was having trouble finding a vet that could see her before the weekend but was lucky that Modern Vet Care had a last minute opening. The entire staff was so kind and welcoming. I felt incredibly at ease and heard expressing my concerns. The assessment and plan were explained to me in detail and I was included in the decision making process in regards to treatment. I will now be taking my cat to Modern Vet Care going forward as I was so happy with my experience.

this is the best vet clinic ever. i have brought 3 of my cats here so far and will bring my 4th one soon. not only is Dr. Ehmann amazing, the technician that’s always there (never caught their name) is incredible! they have cared and loved for our cats incredibly and are very knowledgeable in what they do. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a vet. kind of pricey but it’s worth it to make sure your pets are in good hands!
