How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Monmouth County SPCA
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

We've gotten almost all our babies here at this point, from our 10 year old boys to our newest kitten. Only one who isn't from here is our dog. There's always... rumors and bad word of mouth going on about here, but I can't ever complain. Last year we wound up adopting a cat who needed to stay longer due to an illness. The cat adoption manager, Nina, was so beyond kind and kept us updated on how she was doing and her progress towards coming home. $250 to adopt a kitten may seem steep, but it's beyond worth it for all the vetting/ fixing/ deworming/etc. We would gladly pay it again next time for a new member of our family.

The animals were so cute. I came in looking for a cat (with my toddler) and then saw a dog we really liked. It took a while to talk to someone for both the cat and the dog. The experience was a little odd. For the cat we just squatted in front of a cage of 3 cats when the one we liked was in there. My toddler was getting excited so we took a break. When we also saw the dog, we went in an enclosed room and they brought him in. The handler was helpful and kind. The puppy jumped on my kid who happy squealed which "frightened the dog" (he hid under my chair) and then two other workers came in upset and saying we couldn't sit with him anymore. I understand shelters are nerve-racking for animals, but they should have better meet and greets for cats, and interactions with children. (Can't get a new pet if you don't know how they'd interact with your current pets or kids)

Dog training. We took our Australian Shepherd puppy here for puppy pre-K. It was a puppy socialization and beginning training class held over four weeks - one day a week. Our puppy looked forward to going and loved the small class of four puppies that were all in the same age range. The trainers from MCSPCA were knowledgeable and very patient and gentle with the puppies. I would definitely recommend this course for a young puppy — it creates such positive socialization experiences as well as introducing the basic obedience commands. On the fourth session the four puppies had a fun little graduation and showed off their new skills.

I adopted my two babies from here. 🩷 First came my sweet girl Alice, and then a few months later I got Jake. They hated each other for three years but finally coexist. It’s been a process but my life has been forever changed for the positive since adding these sweet angels to my life three years ago.

Had a great experience at MCSPCA. Hanging out with Lupin was my first real experience with a medium-to-large dog, and he was great. Got to walk him around the facility and really see his personality. The staff were super helpful and answered all my questions. Overall, it was a solid experience. Would recommend.
