How to Save Money at Animal Urgent Care North East
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 wanted to give this team of animal experts a shout out and the recognition they deserve. Our 16- year old Chihuahua Harley, needed urgent care...This team of caring individuals not only got us settled into a private room right away, they checked on us frequently to make sure we were OK, until a Vet could attend to us. We ended up having to put our pup to sleep... The team was compassionate, considerate, and honest about all of our options and helped us through making the right decision during this difficult time. They also sent us a Sympathy card afterwards. 💔🐾🤍 I love knowing IF we ever have a pet emergency this clinic and team are close by. Highly recommend!!

The heartbreaking time had come for us to put down our beloved Sandy. The team of staff at Animal Urgent Care made this difficult time as comforting as possible. They were amazing. A few days later, we received the most heartfelt card signed with a personal note from each staff member. As awful as it is to have to say farewell to our fur baby, I’m so glad we made the decision to bring her to Animal Urgent Care. This quote in the comfort room melted my heart.

When our sweet dog Lucy was in distress they were there to help and get us in right away. They were calm which helped calm us, listened, gave us a clear understanding of what their diagnosis was and printed instructions so we could reference them later. When our normal vet called them to see what they found they were very informative giving them the details of our visit. I am so glad they are here so we did not have a 30 minute drive and then have hours of waiting in the car before we could get service. Our sweet dog Lucy unfortunately crossed the rainbow bridge later that weekend but with their help, they gave me a little more time with my baby. In my book they rock and thank you.

I called in with a concern about my cat and the staff member was incredibly nice and helpful. I ended up taking him in to be seen and everyone I encountered was SO nice!! The vet was incredibly patient, kind and informative. I will absolutely be taking all 3 of my pets here from now on. So happy to have a good emergency vet nearby (Pets R Us is to be avoided at all costs).

Thank you to Kate and the entire staff at Animal Urgent Care North East! You were all so wonderful to deal with. After our dog Snoop's first appointment on opening day things went south quickly with his health, but your entire team was wonderful until he took his last breath 2 days later. The care and compassion was felt and appreciated. We can't thank you enough for gently guiding us through the process of saying goodbye to Snoop. Every step was thought out and executed with our grief and emotions as your primary concern. Well done and thank you again from the bottom of our hearts. Welcome to the neighborhood and we wish you all well!
