How to Save Money at Sea Gate 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.

I was just referred to dr. Eddie recently by a friend who HIGHLY recommended him and his office. Being a new puppy mom after 19 years has been a bit hectic to say the least so I was very hesitant about the vet I was going to take my new puppy to. I called and the gal that answered the phone was so kind and welcoming from the very second she picked up the phone. I was able to schedule an appointment for vaccines the following Saturday as she mentioned they're a bit less costly on Saturdays. She was very informative and even provided me with some helpful new puppy tips. I went in on Saturday and was greeted immediately by the Doctor himself. I filled out some new patient paperwork and was in and out of there within 30 min. They were all so kind and caring. I have found my new Vet and feel secure with my decision. I would recommend Dr. Eddie and all of the Sea Gate family to all. I have also referred two friends to them as well.

Amazing doctor, much more affordable than the other clinics around with no loss of quality. Took care of my cat after an emergency visit offered no answers. Kind, communicative, and my new primary care for my kitten.

I went in for two quick rabies vaccinations expected at $15 ea. Left an hour later after waiting for 30 minutes to get the vaccine records with a $400 bill. Charged me for two exams, deworming that was already done, five minutes of ear cleaning, and flea treatment that I didn’t want. I didn’t say a word, but I will never go back. I would rarely say this, but I was ripped off big time.

Dr. Edy and his staffs are doing a great job. Our dog had to go under surgery and thanks to Dr. Edy, our boy can walk and run happily again.
