How to Save Money at Valhalla 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.

Not sure what’s going on. Change of management? Front Desk person too lazy to respond back? But these babies are NOT their top priority. They were good at first with quick communication but as soon as I mentioned about bringing my 4 MONTH BABY that same day, they totally ignored me and I would have appreciate it if they would have responded back with a “no, sorry, we can schedule you for some other day?” I told them all my concerns as to why I wanted to get my puppy ALL her shots because she only has her Rabies shots and they did not seem to be concern as much as I was! I IMMEDIATELY looked for another Vet! Please dont come here, they dont show interest. I can just imagine what they do behind closed doors!

First and foremost, I would like to thank Dr. Demasi and her lovely staff for being so good to me and my cats and working with me to unravel this mess caused by Main Street Animal Hospital in Elmsford. They sat down looked and analyzed all my records and helped me decipher what my next steps are put me in a much better head space and on the right trajectory in caring for these 2 animals. I highly recommend this place

Professional, kind and caring staff. I was able to have My cat seen the same day. Dr Crederoli has cared for all the pets we had growing up- cats, bunnies, ferrets... and now as an adult it was my time to call on Valhalla Animal hospital with concerns for my fur baby! Thank you for the same day appointment. in a time of Covid where you can’t go in with your pet- Alex was kinda and sweet and alleviated my fears with kind words and information. They even told Me how well behaved and calm he was with them. ❤️

The staff is compassionate and knows how to care well for animals. I was never rushed. all my questions were answered, and I feel my cat was in the best care he could get. Dr.Muoio is one of the most wonderful vets you would ever want to meet. Each time I went there, I could feel how much she loved animals and did everything she could to help. I will never go elsewhere.

I usually don't post negative reviews, but I don't want another pet owner to go through what we did here. I bring my cats in for an annual check, and for the last five years have voiced concern over a growth on one of my cats. For five years I was told its nothing to worry about. A few weeks ago I voluntarily had the growth removed. A few days later I received a long winded voice mail that it was cancer. Not even a personal phone call. Second opinion at Veterinary Village in Briarcliff did everything this vet did not. She had x- rays and a body scan and Dr. Caderolli left the tumor there! The tumor was removed. Surrounding areas were checked in case the cancer spread. She was so fragile she was hospitalized for 5 days. When my husband called Valhalla, not only was he hung up on, he was belittled as a "layman" who didnt know what he was talking about and would not be listened to. Dr. Caderolli said if he checked every growth they would be doing this all day. So what, that is your job!! Thank God for Dr. Harouch and the staff at Veterinary Village. They saved my baby's life.
