How to Save Money at Animal Doctor Westside

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.

I won’t take my pets anywhere else in Manhattan! The ladies at the front desk are always so friendly & welcoming. Natalia is so patient and gentle with my two nervous heelers, Joey & Flint. They love coming to see her for pets & treats! Thank you guys for all you do :)

I recently had to take my older, huge cat for some routine assessment. I was very impressed with this practice, both for their care and their facilities. My cat, who is normally afraid of strangers, was very quiet and calm for his visit with the veterinarian and their associates, which is remarkable considering his size. It was one of the calmest vet visits I've ever had with him! The lab sample was obtained with little to no problems, and the results were rapidly forwarded to me via the internet, which was very nice. I would very strongly recommend this practice for all of these reasons, not to mention my cat's behavioral recommendation. His opinions do count.

I will never take our doodle anywhere else! We had her teeth cleaned and multiple teeth extracted. First class service from the time you walk in to walk out. Dr. Iseman is one of the most thorough, intelligent, kindest doctors I’ve ever encountered in any field. Liz was the assistant and is extremely knowledgeable and made our experience so enjoyable. I willingly spent 3 hours waiting at the clinic because the atmosphere was so pleasant.

Animal Doctor Westside is awesome! I have four fur babies (cats) and all have needed some sort of care at some point. The doctors and techs at ADW are all great and care so much about the animals. 10/10, would highly recommend!

I feel safe bringing my pets here. I feel like the best vets are ran by people who love animals and the people who work here love animals! Every time I come in they readily welcome me. They constantly talk about how much of a joy it was to have my pets here! They love interacting with them and checking up on them. I worry that my pets will be lonely when they sometimes stay over night but the people here always check on them and give me a full detailed report on how they did. I know my pets are safe hers and well taken care of. Recently they have started emailing me quotes of how much a service may be depending on which services I want. I love this kind of transparency. Also they called the day after to check up on my pet after I took him home! That was a lovely surprise. I wont take my pets anywhere else ever.
