How to Save Money at Oley Valley Animal Clinic
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.

My sweet 13 year old Lilly had her second growth on her head removed yesterday. They called and kept me informed of everything and everything went smoothly. So thankful for the staff and support they always give. Thank you for taking care of my sweetheart!

Love the staff here! Dr Hart is the best; compassionate, professional, and very knowledgeable. Our dog is not a fan of going to the vet but she put him and us at ease. Thank you!

We’ve been blessed to have such a wonderful veterinary group in our area! They are loving to my pup and conscientious of your time. The staff will work with you for routine visits within your availability and try’s to make space if you (god forbid) need a sick visit. I’ve always had pets but this is the best group I’ve had the pleasure to choose as my pets’ caregiver.

this place used to be so good.. what happened? i went here for 20+ years (since i was a child) so i know how things used to be and how much they have changed. my mom and sister have been taking our dog here the past few months because he had this huge mass on his stomach. they kept telling them it's a fatty deposit. okay, that's all well and good, but why did you refuse to run any tests? the old oley valley animal clinic (specifically dr. fatkin) would have offered testing for peace of mind, and we probably would have found out what killed our dog before it killed our dog! he died gasping for air! that was horrifying! i have heard many horror stories about this place in the past few years such as my neighbor being told there was nothing left they could do for her dog and that he should be taken home to spend his last days at home, she took him to the animal hospital and they fixed him up and he lived a few more years. your staff should be ASHAMED of themselves. i have no clue who helped my family with my dog, but they deserve an intervention on whether or not they actually want to help animals.
