How to Save Money at Energy Garden Vet
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.

On behalf of the Leone family, we first want to congratulate Carrie on opening her very own space for her services! We fully believe that because of Carrie, we got to spend more time with our girl Marina. In Marina’s last year of her life she suffered with seizures and some pain due to arthritis. Carrie was heaven sent and helped our girl manage her episodes to be a bit spread out over time and also helped tremendously with her mobility. Marina loved Carrie too. She always knew she had freeze dried liver treats with her and would do all she could to earn them. Even if that meant being stuck with teeny tiny needles. The Leone Family will forever be grateful to Carrie and will recommend her to anyone who wishes to seek acupuncture for their fur babies.

My husband and I adopted a 7-year-old Shiba Inu 2 years ago; our adopted son Mushy suffers from chronic heart issues and remains positive for Lyme. Besides those, aging is not treating him well, especially regarding joint health. We are lucky enough to find Dr. Bonacorsi at Energy Garden to try a more conservative yet highly effective way to bring his energy level back. Seeing him being so playful and handsome as a 9-year-old to be, really makes us grateful for sessions with Dr. Bonacorsi. Highly recommend!

Dr Bonacorsi is a, wonderful, gentle and knowledgeable veterinarian and specifically, a veterinarian acupuncturist. She treated my 18 lb allergy ridden Boston Terrier, Dixie, for two years with excellent success. During the time Dr Bonacorsi treated Dixie, she was an in home provider of the services and my dog LOVED her. She is personable and kind and humble and a true animal lover. One of my favorite things about her treatment of Dixie was that she didn't pretend to have all the answers, but would research long after she left our sessions to find solutions and treatments for Dixie. There isn't another veterinarian I would use for Dixie, than Dr Bonacorsi!

Dr. Bonacorsi provided compassionate and skilled care for our 13-year-old pug, Max, who was suffering from Cushing’s syndrome. Max had symptoms like increased thirst, panting, hair loss, and weakness. Traditional treatments had limited success, but Dr. Bonacorsi suggested acupuncture as part of a holistic approach. The acupuncture sessions made a noticeable difference—Max seemed more comfortable, calmer, and regained a bit of his spark in his final months. We’re deeply grateful for Dr. Bonacorsi’s gentle manner and dedication, which gave Max relief and dignity before his passing.

Carrie is a kind and gifted practitioner. Liam is a senior dog with some spine issues and although he wasn't crazy about the acupuncture, he loved the massage therapy Carrie suggested and benefitted from the herbal supplements and tweaks to his diet. Liam's quality of life has visibly improved thanks to Carrie's attentive suggestions and care.
