How to Save Money at Allentown Cat Clinic, PC

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’ve been bringing my babies Rosie and Luna here for about maybe two or three years now, and must I say this place and the workers are truly amazing🥹, I’ve been helped numerous times with both of my girls and the assistants here are truly kind souls and so are the doctors, their always gentle with my girls, dr. Paul and dr.Gretchen have helped my girls so many times and put my cat mom stressors at ease, I really don’t know what I would do if this place wasn’t here, I will never bring my girls anywhere else unless I really have too, the fact this place specifically is for cats only makes me content 🙏🏽, yes no vet visit is cheap but I’ll always bring my babies here for as long as they live, Rosie ( calico )and Luna ( tuxedo) love Allentown kitty clinic !!! And so do their mommy and grandma!!! .

I love this Veterinary practice! I have been taking both of my cats here for about a year and a half. The employees are so polite, professional, and caring. They really are passionate about their work, and create a great connection with the owners. I always learn something new when I take my cats here, and feel confident I am providing them amazing quality care. Thank you to everyone at Allentown Cat Clinic! You are all very compassionate and kind, and have helped my cats become a lot healthier!

What a wonderful clinic! I recently had my senior cat in for dental surgery and was so impressed by the ease of scheduling, the friendly staff, and the amazing care. I knew my cat was in great hands and they are equally adept at calming nervous pet parents, too. This was my cat’s second dental surgery there and both times I have been extremely impressed with their loving care. I can’t say enough good things about Allentown Cat Clinic and highly recommend them!

Dr. Paul and Dr. Gretchen are amazing (along with the rest of the staff at the Allentown Cat Clinic)! We have been taking both of our cats here for several years. Our older cat was recently diagnosed with a terminal illness, and they care that we have received to help us navigate this time has been comforting and thorough. Dr. Paul has given us some more time with our gal and we couldn't be more grateful. My husband and I live 40 minutes away from the Clinic and we would absolutely make the drive whenever necessary to receive the quality care that we have been receiving.

Dr. Paul and her staff are amazing! I switched from a different vet to Allentown Cat Clinic because I just love Dr. Paul so much. She sees cats, ONLY, so surely she is a cat expert. I don’t have to worry about any big, loud dogs frightening my baby in the waiting room, either. Dr. Paul has many years of experience caring for cats, and she also keeps up with all of the latest treatment methods, medications, etc.. If there is a “new way” to treat something, but the “old way” works just as well, or better, she will go with the “old way”. I find her to be an “old school vet”, and I really like that about her. It’s the main reason I switched to her. My baby is 12 years old, and I wouldn’t want anyone other than Dr. Paul to take care of him.
