How to Save Money at Animal Care Services

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.

This is honestly the BEST & AFFORDABLE VET in RI! I recently got a Kitten(Sam) who was 4 Weeks at the time. The owner who sold him to me gave me no information on Vaccines or Health Problems. I talked to an Online Vet and found out my Kitten had Ear Mites. He was in a lot of pain. I called almost every Vet in RI but couldn’t afford the cost while making minimum wage. They were trying to charge me $150 to get him an appointment and another $50 to get his treatment. Mind you they we’re booked as well. That was $200 I couldn’t afford. I finally found “Animal Care Services” in Warwick. Got an appointment a week later. They helped take care of my baby and got rid of his Ear Mites. The prices we’re decent and affordable and all the staff had amazing vibes! I really like this vet so I made it his Primary. If you’re struggling financially and have pets I 100% suggest bringing them to “Animal Care Services” 😊😊😊

Dr Ader is WONDERFUL, and doesn't need high tech equipment to diagnose. She's GREAT with all my pets (3 dogs, 2 cats, talking parakeet)!! Staff is very helpful also!!

Great veterinarian. Little hard to find Google Maps will bring you all over the place but Waze GPS should bring you right there. It's a little house behind shrubbery there is a small sign on their fence.

They got me in right away when my Jack Russell hurt his back again and had a swollen area behind his pad. The service was great. After the vet finished with Jack, my 3 & 4 yr old girls were asking to see the bird in the big cage, but the cage was empty, so the vet called for someone to bring the bird in from it's other perch to show them. They were so excited when this big white bird talked to them! So we got great service and a fun show! The guy at the desk in the lobby also took time to talk to them. All around great place. I forgot to add that their prices are very reasonable.

Great experienced vet. She knew what was wrong with my dog within a minute. I was surprised I could get my dog in so quick. The staff was friendly and helpful. The cost was very reasonable. I would highly recommend Dr.Ader. We just introduced her to our newest family member.
