How to Save Money at Fulton 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.
Reviews from Google
We have been clients here for well over a decade now and love them. It's a small operation with (usually) one vet and some very experienced vet techs. Our pets (cats and dogs) have been well cared for all the way through from annual checkups, teeth cleaning, suspicious lump removal, up to the incredibly kind and hugely appreciated home visit a few years ago to help our Good Boy cross peacefully over the Rainbow Bridge. Advice is generously given and options presented clearly where multiple courses of treatment exist. We would absolutely recommend Fulton Animal Hospital.

Dr. Cujdik is beyond amazing! My French bulldog had an infected tail pocket from a corkscrew tail. The corkscrew tail needed to be removed immediately and Dr. Cujdik is the only vet that I trust to put my dog under anesthesia, especially with being a frenchie and with a serious surgery like this. Dr. Cujdik and his coworkers including Ryan and Paras were incredible to work with! Dr. Cujdik, Ryan and Paras made Nino so comfortable during each visit, answered all of my questions, and made the process super smooth! They are so kind and truly love animals! My pup, Nino, is scared of everything and they all have a very loving and calming personality that Nino quickly warmed up to! Dr. Cujdik walked me through all the details of the procedure, pre and post surgery care, and answered all of my million questions with so much kindness and compassion! Dr. Cujdik checked in on Nino many times and I know he truly cared how Nino was doing. I would highly recommend Dr. Cujdik and Fulton Animal hospital to everyone! I truly can’t put into words what a wonderful vet he is! Dr. Cujdik and his team went above and beyond for our pup and all of his clients!

The Fulton Animal Hospital team is amazing. They all are so caring and considerate of my dog. Dr. Del Maestro is so knowledgeable and kind. My dog loves her and the treats she always manages to find.

Switched to this hospital in January 2023 due to ease of location. Have three dogs and a cat, and all we can say is, "Wow!". They have always been courteous and empathetic. Had to put one of the dogs down eventually (cancer) and others have had visits and surgeries since then, and not once have they not been what we have always been looking for in a vet office.

Hands down the best of the best!!!!!! I started taking my bischon puppy here after running into the vet while walking in my neighborhood. She interacted with my pup in such a warm and genuine way. I immediately decided to follow up with a visit and have been nothing short of amazed. by the level of care and exceptional customer service provided by all the staff at this practice. Thank you for all you do.
