How to Save Money at Cresskill 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.

We were recently there with our Siamese. It was our first time meeting Dr. Khodari who is truly the BEST! The vet tech was wonderful! The time they spent, their true concern and gentle disposition put my kitty at ease. And their guidance, suggestions and knowledge put my mind at ease. They truly care about your furry friend! I am just so grateful Harmony is in such excellent care. The entire team is amazing!!

This incompetent place missed a blockage on my dogs X-rays after charging me 1600. My dog could have died. Went to another vet who picked up on the blockage right away after doing their own X-rays now she needs surgery. This place should be out of business. Do not go here unless you want to put your pets life at risk.

We had the difficult decision of putting our 14 year old dog down. Both vets were so kind, supportive, and informative. I definitely recommend them for your pet needs.

My dog had difficulty walking and I took him to Edgewater vet clinic. I didn’t feel like they did a thorough examination there, so I came home and read almost all bios of vets in Bergen County (the perfectionist in me) to make sure I take my dog to the best. When I read that Dr Khodari went to UCLA and Penn (had me at Ivy League), I called to make the appointment. The staff was extremely friendly and kind and dr Khodari did such a detailed examination from checking my dog’s reflexes to feeling his bones to taking him for a walk to see how he limps. He then explained what the issue might be with pictures and also explained what conditions he’s ruling out and explained those too. He was very caring and answered all my questions. So happy to have found this practice; with dr K my dog is in caring and knowledgeable hand. Highly recommend him.

Thank you so much to Dr. Khodari, for always providing Charlie with utmost care and attention. We are met with compassion every time we come in for an appointment, and can confidently say that the quality of care and service is wholly unmatched. We feel safe knowing that Dr. Khodari is in charge of Charlie's care. We would never go anywhere or to anyone else! Thank you so much again
