How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Country Animal 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.

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.

I am so glad that after a long wait were able to get my two pups in as new patients!! We've had friends and family brag about this place for years now that they moved and accept the new patients we are so blessed!! It's amazing that my two dogs have no anxiety going there when with the previous vet they would shake in the car knowing where they're going what does that tell you... Between the care my two babies have received Amazing communication between the office staff pricing and just overall I cannot say how happy we are to be part of country animal hospital clinic family now highly recommend!!!

I’ve been bringing my puppy here since she was 9 weeks old. They are the utmost kind, understanding, and compassionate office including all of the vets, vet techs, and receptionist. Bailey is always so happy to see them and the office matches her with same energy!! It’s clear that they love their fur patients!

I have been with this practice approximately 25 years. I started with them with my dog Shamus when they were located in their Englishtown office. I am still with them now with my dog Maverick. This practice has continued to grow over time. The veterinarians, especially Dr. DeBaecke and Dr. Lynch have always been so supportive throughout all the years. I will never forget Dr. DeBaecke’s compassion when Shamus passed. Kim and Lisa and the rest of their office staff have always been professional and kind. I have recommended this practice to many family members as well as friends and will continue to do so. They are the best!

Called in desperate need of help for having my 2 male cats spayed on 2/13 but the staff was not too helpful and said since I am new I wouldn't receive priority and would have to wait since the existing clients always go first, didn't seem like great customer service in my opinion. Called another in the Marlboro area and wow what a difference, nice staff, made an appt for me right away and walked me through all the steps. Hint, they are about 5 min away from this one. Superior customer service and genuine care in my opinion. Cant be so cold when people are in need of your services. Thanks to the free market I found a much better Vet. Cant say it was the vet but wow that staff who took my call was cold and didn't want to work with me at all.

An amazing lady at reception was able to get us an appointment last minute for my cats that were not eating/ feeling well. I wish I caught her name but, she is so very much appreciated! We then saw Dr. Lynch who is amazing and gave my husband and I so much helpful information and insight on the issue at hand. He took time to explain everything to us and answer all questions we had! Our boy who he treated is getting back to himself and we are so grateful. I am so appreciative for the staff at Country Animal Hospital!
