How to Save Money at Glencroft Veterinary 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.

Worse place ever!!! Took our beloved dog there with a breathing issue and cough. He was a patient there his whole life. We were told by the Doctor he would call Monday. No call and guess what they were closed. Left a message and on Tuesday we were told they would call on Wednesday. On Wednesday I took my dog to another vet. Testing completed with the worse outcome. After putting our dog down due to invasive cancer on Thursday this place finally calls with X-ray and bloodwork results. Worse place no kindness, no compassion !

As we all know it is absolutely horrible to put down a pet. No one knew us there but everyone was so sympathetic to our needs. The doctor went above and beyond the call of duty to make us feel comfortable. We will never forget his kindness.

I have been taking my cat there since I moved into the area. (5+yrs) the staff are friendly and the Dr.s always treat Mr. Felix with care. Oh and to answer a question posted earlier... The entrance is on the side Facing Glenolden Av.

The Veterinarians and staff at Glencroft Veterinary Hospital are caring and respectful of all of my animals as well as myself and family. You can tell that they really love animals and know how to treat them with gentleness and respect. I have five pets, two cats, two dogs and a rabbit. I have been to other good veterinary hospitals and I would not go anywhere else.
