How to Save Money at Tenafly Veterinary Center

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.

Getting 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.

Excellent and clean. Very professional. Staff and doctors are friendly and knowledgeable. Even my cat felt safe and comfortable once he surveyed the room. They gave my cat three shots, drew blood, and got a urine sample out of him in under 12 minutes. I will be coming here for my cats care from now on.

my pug recently had emergency surgery here and within a day she’s pretty much 100% back to herself begging for food! Dr. Han who performed the surgery, Dr. Barnea and the nurses/ staff there were so great! Rosie thanks you all❤️

We started going to Dr Barnea over 4 years ago and loved the office. In the past year and half the office has lost its personal touch. Too many new hires (both vet, techs and office staff), only care about the money, overcharge and poor diagnosticians. Front desk personal are cold. Every time I go there I see a new doctor or new tech. No one looks at charts. I asked them if they look at the chart for previous issues- they don’t. The entire process has become too expensive and too exhausting. We are switching to a new vet. Very disappointed in the level of care and communication that we have received.

Terrible experience. Went to get my dog’s teeth cleaned. They never did the cleaning and instead did a physical examination to charge $440 which we didn't need as my dog already had a vet somewhere else. I drove 1.5 hours for the cleaning. They mentioned they don't do the cleaning on the weekends but never said this on the phone when we made the appt. This vet is not patient centric and only cares to overcharge the customer. Please don't take advantage of pet owners.

Today I had the wonderful experience of visiting this establishment. Easy to park, office was sparking clean and the staff was excellent. Dr. Belekdanian was professional and extremely knowledgeable. The tech Natty was wonderful, thoughtful and kept my baby calm. No wonder he took to her. I would definitely recommend this business.
