How to Save Money at Newberry Animal Hospital Main St.

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.

Thank you for taking such amazing care of me and my pet Suki! I wanted to make it aware of how wonderful all the staff are. I showed up to the wrong location for my appointment yet the main St location was very patient and accommodating with us! I was greeted and welcomed in so warmly it made my day! Also the Dr and techs that handled my pet Suki were all so gentle and patient, even Suki felt at ease in the office! She was snoozing quietly while waiting to be checked out! I am so grateful as well that they were able to answer all my questions and they were super kind and knowledgeable! 10/10 I recommend this place. I am glad I read the reviews and decided to come here!

Me and my dog love Newberry animal hospital!! They quite literally saved my dog’s life, when he took a quick and unexpected health turn and had HGE. They gave him so much love and care for days and he had a speedy recovery. They always offer fair pricing and meet the pet owners where they’re at and explain everything in a way everyone can understand. Koala (my dog) loved the staff and they would love to see him when he came for appts. Thank you so much Newberry Animal Hospital fam!

I recently moved to Gainesville and my cousin recommended Newberry Animal Hospital. I was able to create profiles online for my animals and thankfully I did because we two had issues shortly after moving here. We had an excellent experience - I was able to get an appointment quickly and the staff were very helpful and caring. They provided an estimate before doing any procedures and gave me options. I went to the Main Street location.

Newberry Animal Hospital has provided excellent care for our dog, Luna. We are always greeted with warm smiles and short wait times upon arrival. Dr. White is very knowledgeable, and she’s been great at explaining treatment options for the handful of ailments that Luna has experienced over the past year and a half. Historically, Luna has always been very fearful of the vet’s office. However, thanks to the patient and thoughtful approach of several vet techs and doctors, she doesn’t even seem to mind it anymore. Thanks so much for taking care of our fur baby! I HIGHLY recommend this place if you are looking for a veterinarian.

Dr Shah seemed very affectionate to my 12 week old Doberman puppy. She took her time and checked him over from head to toe. I felt much better knowing he was a healthy boy. My experience from the moment I walked into the office, was welcoming and supportive. I highly recommend Newberry Animal Hospital.
