How to Save Money at Maybeck Animal 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.

Dr. Fogelberg and the whole team at Maybeck are great to work with...helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. Dr. Fogelberg was able to diagnose our cat's bladder problem when two other vets couldn't. He performed surgery to remove a stone and she is doing great. The entire staff was very caring and responsive throughout her procedure and recovery. We highly recommend Maybeck!

We highly recommend Doctor Julie and her staff , I can not express enough - how much our little Maltese means to me and my aunt, and there is not enough words to cover how grateful we both are for the outstanding care we are receiving for our little furry family member . If you knew what we went through before finding Doctor Julie, you too ,would love to have her for your vet. God Bless, Chris - M. Tewksbury - { Alexis { Our Furry Family Member }

After 11 years we had to make the difficult decision to put our dog to sleep. He was scheduled for euthanasia today and after sitting in the lobby for 35 minutes I finally asked what was taking so long. I was told that there were no rooms available. Then I was told that they had a critical care patient and the doctor was tending to that. Never once did they acknowledge us or apologize for the wait. We were extremely emotional and angered as we had struggled with the decision for several days, and the staff were very unsympathetic so we made the decision to take our pet elsewhere. Our dog had been a patient for 11 years and this is how he was treated on the most difficult day of his life. Fortunately we contacted another animal hospital who took us in immediately. They were so kind and compassionate even though they never met our pet. I will never ever step foot in Maybeck Animal Hospital again and will tell everyone I know about this experience. Not even a phone call from Dr. Fogelberg.
