How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Metuchen Veterinary Hospital

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

Dr. Rogan, Hope, and the rest of the staff are kind, patient, and really helpful. We are new pet parents and they gave us plenty of time to ask questions.

I did a walk-in and the receptionist was amazing. She asked me come back 45 minutes later. My son just adopted this 11 month old Abyssinian and it was required a wellness exam. Coming back experience: technician was very good and gentle. Place was surprisingly clean. Doctor spent over 30 minutes which is unheard of. Answered every questions. Gave numerous suggestions. In general against medicines and processed foods. Which is good. Throughly checked the cat. Cat was surprisingly calm. Found ear mites which rescue center (later confirmed) had missed. On the spot applied medicines and taught me how to apply at home. For flea/tick/parasites gave good advice and gave us an aerosol to use at home rather than giving cat medicines. Very good experience. Their parking is a bit tricky. Narrow lane between 2 houses leads into the back for parking. LOL.

The staff and vets are great. I brought in 3 kittens and they had checked them out and given great advice. Also, they are not crazy expensive for office visits. Don't go to places like banfield. There you won't get the same vet twice almost always and they will try to sell you in to things you don't need. The staff at Metuchen Vet were straight forward and honest and didn't blow smoke up my you know what.

I recently brought in our cat, Romeo, for a skin issue. Dr Rogan was so gentle and caring that Romeo was unusually comfortable in the office. Dr Rogan explained his diagnosis and treatment plan very thoroughly and answered all my questions without rushing our visit. i cant say enough about him and the wonderful staff. Everyone is so friendly and caring. I was also very grateful that when I arrived at the office, I was not made to wait a long time but instead was almost immediately brought to an exam room. By far the best vet I've ever been to and definitly have confidence in

I brought my ferret, Missy, here with no idea what was going on with her. She was lethargic and withering away. I came to the Metuchen Vet Hospital not knowing what to expect. When I got there, the staff was immediately welcoming and kind. They were attentive and asked a bunch of questions about her condition. During the exam, I cannot tell you how sweet and gentle they were with her. She got spooked and had an accident and the assistant was so sweet and ran to grab something to clean it and her up. After some poking and prodding, the doctor gave my little one a diagnosis. He had to give her a shot there, and I was sent home with several meds. I came back 2 weeks later and she was a little better. She got another injection and the doctor told me she would get one more and be good with that. So, for another 2 weeks, we continued with the meds. When I tell you, in that second week, that she was almost back to her normal self...I was so relieved! I brought her back today for the final injection and they took me right away and saw the change in her. She got her last injection, and I was given instructions on continued care (as her disease is permanent, but manageable). I almost cried because I was so happy that she was doing better and that the vet (Dr. Boaz) was so spot on with her diagnosis and treatment. His support staff is wonderful too. Always so wonderfully friendly, kind, and accommodating. I can’t recommend them enough. I was so worried and scared for my baby and she did so well with them in the examinations and is doing so much better now. If you have a pet in need of medical attention, do yourself a favor and go to this clinic.
