How to Save Money at Olde Towne 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.

I have always had an amazing experience at Olde Towne! Finding someone who you feel comfortable with taking care of your pup can be tough, but Dr. Stelling has gone above and beyond for us and we are so grateful for that. She is professional, passionate, and extremely kind. There's no one else we would rather have than Dr.Stelling and the entire Olde Towne staff.

I find it amazing that this place has the audacity to respond to my Google review using the sympathy card on my pets passing. what is amazing is when I sent them repeated emails about their complete unprofessionalism that they won’t respond to but, when it goes public under a review on Google and Yelp ,!how quickly one likes to cover their tracks. Hopefully any intelligent individuals will see right through your feeble attempt to cover your tracks and will take their loved ones elsewhere for the proper care and attention.

Our beloved pet recently passed away and Olde Towne animal Hospital Doctor we spoke to was rude, unsympathetic and completely unprofessional. After further review of the past history, they neglected to inform us of an issue with a visit...I would never trust them again with any pet of mine ad you should have second thoughts as well!! the nurses and recpt are great but the doctors, not worth writing home about and would not trust them. Best off driving the extra 20 mins to Riverhead. Just really bad people skills.

This is a group of kind, caring professionals who have taken excellent care of our dogs (and us) in good times & bad. We wouldn’t think of going anywhere else.
