How to Save Money at Greenbrier Veterinary Clinic
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.

The staff at Greenbrier is no doubt very kind and welcoming with their clients. However, I brought my cat there three weeks ago because I was scared there was something very wrong with him. After examining him they told me he was just getting older and gave him an appetite stimulation. 2 weeks later it got a lot worse and they told me to just bring him to the ER. Within 5 minutes at the ER they told me there was a huge tumor that was even visible due to the bloating. My only option was to put him down due to the pain and how big the tumor was. My only concern is how it went unnoticed by the professional vet that I trusted.

I have tried numerous vets in Harford County. My animals are my babies so I am very particular of the Drs. they go to. Greenbrier stands out above them all. They are by far THE best around. The doctors are very knowledgeable and thorough. Dr. Streett really took his time with the examination and went over options for my old man’s knees. What I like most is that he remembers my boys each time (even if it’s been months in between our visits). The front desk staff and the techs are all lovely as well and kind. This practice genuinely cares for their patients. I highly recommend them! A+++++

I cannot speak highly enough about Greenbrier Vet! After moving, I had not established a new vet. My dog had two different emergencies with a broken nail and an eye infection in less than a month. On both occasions, they were able to fit me in the same day. The staff is exceptionally accommodating and the Vets were equally as knowledgeable. They will definitely be my primary vet moving forward when I'm in Maryland. Thanks so much!

One of the vet techs Kim Y, was extremely rough with my dog — visibly agitated and impatient because my dog was fearful of being at the vet office, and trying to hide behind me while the tech was trying to swab his ear. She was forcefully yanking at him in his prong collar, right in front of me. My dog is a gentle giant and it was hard to watch. The same tech was nasty with me months prior to this visit and I didn’t say anything, but when I spoke up this time, I was met with zero empathy or resolution from the Vet Practice Manager Katrina W. Katrina was extremely apathetic on the phone call with me, and tried to claim the vet tech was afraid of my dog — the same dog that was cowering behind me during the appointment. Imagine. Katrina offered no sympathy to me feeling uncomfortable about how my dog was treated, and had a “this entire conversation is an inconvenience to me” attitude on the phone. The cherry on the cupcake is that I spent $200 there for my dogs ear infection, the nasty vet tech took my dog back to a room to administer claro, in both ears, and it somehow didn’t work. So now I’m out $200 and my dog is still suffering. Because of Katrina’s horrible phone etiquette, and lack of acknowledgement on my uncomfortable experience there, I asked her to send all of my animals vet records to me so I could switch vet practices, and even then, she’s like “okay that’s fine.” Big yikes honey, that just lost you my business and my family friends who I referred to your practice, business. I have 8 animals I take care of and have brought there for years now, and Katrina felt like it was more important to have an attitude on the phone and to lose my business instead of taking accountability for what happened and trying to offer a resolution as to why my dog was treated this way and why my dog is STILL sick $200 later. Hope Katrina and Kim get their attitudes fixed, and remember why they went into this field in the first place, which SHOULD have been about helping and loving animals. I would never trust my animal alone at this place again.

I had a wonderful experience at Greenbrier veterinarian clinic my puppy. Prince had his first vaccines there. The prices are also very fair, They even trimmed his nails free of charge. They were very friendly, respectful and courteous. I would highly recommend anyone to take their pup to this clinic, and I will be back.
