How to Save Money at Dr. Julia Stricker Esposito, D.V.M

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.

A couple days ago when another veterinarian office told me they couldn't see my cat and to try an urgent care this place made an immediate accommodation. They ran tests and unfortunately found a large mass on our cats stomach which was causing her pain and ultimately killing her. We decided to end her suffering and they went above and beyond to help us in this difficult time. We sat in a room with her and spend our last moments with her, we got to stay with her during her final moments and afterwards. They allowed us to have the time we needed, helped us make arrangements for afterwards, gave us her paw prints, her nose print, and some of her hair. The thoughtfulness really meant a lot to us and I can't thank them enough. During this entire process you seen that the animals are their concern, money was never asked upfront, they took care of her first. I can't thank each and everyone of them enough for their kindness and support during this incredibly difficult time.

They are wonderful, specially Doc Stricker! He was a wonderful Doc and person. He took such great care when my little pugmunster Lilbit got sick, he was so good to her and I will always remember that. Just was an all out awesome guy and I know surely missed. I will never go to another Vet as long as they are here!!

Great staff, really thoughtful and caring. Was super great handling emergency surgery with my cat. Took the time to discuss options with my dogs aggression and ways to fix the issues without just medicating her.

I would give 0 stars if I could. The woman running the front desk was very rude and not understanding. I would not recommend them. I was 10 minutes late to an appointment and I called them just to let them know and they said I had to reschedule. I was literally pulling in. I will no longer take either of my dogs there.
