How to Save Money at Sifferlin Animal Clinic Inc

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.

I wanted to thank Sally and her staff for the wonderful care they gave to our dog Maggie. Dr Gano discovered she had an object in her small intestine and Sally came in for emergency surgery to remove it. The staff kept us updated and answered all my questions and my sons questions ( she is his dog). This is the third time that sally and her staff have saved our girl. She had parvo as a puppy and all the love and care she received during that time went above and beyond we could have asked for. Then this past December she had a mass removed from her neck. When the mass was discovered at her check up ( she has lots of fatty lumps on her body we keep an eye on ) I knew this particular one felt different and immediately she was booked for surgery the next day. She answered all our questions and gave us options on how we could proceed with her treatment. I can't thank them enough. Sifferlin animal clinic has treated 4 dogs and 8 cats for my family. When we had to put my childhood dog to sleep and our family dog a few years ago ... we were treated with nothing but kindness and respect. We got to take our time saying goodbye. When my parents were out of town we had to put their cat to sleep and Sally called my dad on the phone and explained everything and they let me hold him the entire process... I trust them with my animals... I trust their knowledge. No question has ever gone unanswered. They love our fur babies like they were their own. From the Dr's to the staff ..Thanks again Sally and staff for saving our sweet Maggie! It is truly truly appreciated!

My family has been taking our pets to Sifferlin Animal Clinic for the past 15 years, and I can honestly say they're the absolute best. They don't just provide great service and know-how; they genuinely love and care for our animals. Whenever I'm away and leave my pets at the clinic, I know deep down they're in the best hands. Dr. Sifferlin is a gem – so friendly and treats her patients like they're part of her own family. Seriously, I can't recommend this clinic enough!

I just recently moved to the area and finding Sifferlin Animal Clinic has honestly been such a blessing! I had always taken my dog blue to the same vet and was nervous about finding a new place for her. I was recommended to Dr. Sifferlin by a friend and it was such a lovely experience. Having with a sick animal is such a stressful and emotional experience and every single staff member I had the pleasure of meeting, was so kind and understanding. Blue is an extremely nervous dog and they were very patient with her which has been hard to come by while trying to find a new vet for her. Thank you to Dr. Sifferlin + the rest of the staff for helping my baby! So happy to have found a new clinic.

I have had my share of ups and downs with vets and wanted to share my thoughts. First and for most Dr Gano is a wonderful human who made us feel very comfortable when my Fiona wasn’t feeling well. The staff is caring and so helpful. We are so fortunate to have had the care in some of the worst moments in our life that we all go through. I am so appreciative of Dr Gano for her compassion she has for our furry beloved family members. Thank you ALL for your kindness it showed and will never be forgotten. I hope anyone reading this will feel good about taking there pets here. 🩷

We have been using Sifferlin Animal Clinic, as well as the Pet Center (boarding + grooming) for about 5 years now. We recently moved to Columbus but still make the ~2 hour drive to Dover, Ohio to get our dog treated/boarded/groomed here. It is hard to find reliable/trustworthy people to care for your furry little family members but Dr. Sifferlin + staff make us feel at ease when our dog needs care or boarding. Always worth the extra drive to make sure our dog is in good hands. 10/10 recommend.
