How to Save Money at Montvale 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.

Fantastic staff! Small, intimate in a great way. Felt heard, they were amazing with my new dog, even when at one point I thought she might react they kept her calm. My only quibble is I wish the road they're on wasn't so busy, or the parking lot was behind/fenced. I had extra worry taking my dogs out of the car as they jump out (and aren't fans of going to the vet, understandably!) I'm sure part of my concern is my own anxiety (:

Everyone at Montvale Animal Hospital is so sincere and always shows respect, integrity, and professionalism. Dr. Pang and Dr. Sasha are extremely knowledgeable and treat my dog as if he were their own. We had an opportunity to see Dr. Andrews as well and he is also wonderful. All of them are very caring and thorough. We love them and all of the techs, front desk personnel, groomers and boarding staff. We have used every service offered at Montvale Animal Hospital! When you walk in, the space and the people are warm and inviting. I trust them completely with my dog's routine well care and his non-well care that we have unfortunately faced. They are all kind, understanding, and extremely caring. If you are searching for veterinary care for your pet, look no further. This is the place! I look forward to continuing my dog's care at Montvale Animal Hospital.

Recently brought our dog to the Montvale Animal Hospital after searching for a new provider in the area. Everyone at the office was very caring for my pet, and were all-around kind people. From this initial visit, I would highly recommend the Montvale Animal Hospital and know my pet will receive high-quality care during his next check-up.

We have been using MAH for several years now and are extremely pleased. The staff are so friendly and patient (we called a lot when our fur baby was spayed to check on her and they were all super nice ) The vets are so gentle with our dogs. They are so knowledgeable and truly take the time to thoroughly discuss whatever situation one of our three dogs are experiencing. We are so grateful that we found MAH because the love they all have for animals shines through and through there! Thank you!’

I am a new customer and my experience at Montvale Animal Hospital was outstanding. When no other Vet would see me because they had no appt’s available and or weren’t taking on new clients I made one call to Montvale Animal Hospital and they took me in right away. I have a 15 day old baby kitten and I was scared as I thought she was having trouble breathing. The staff was Amazing they took my baby and treated her with so much warmth and love. The doctor was excellent she took the time to answer all my questions and concerns in detail. I left there feeling so good that my baby is in good hands now and going to be OK. Overall it was the Best experience and I am so happy now that I am going to be a part of the Montvale Animal Hospitals family.. Thank you again to all the staff and doctors at Montvale Animal Hospital My Bella is a very lucky little kitten.
