How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Bergen County Veterinary Center

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.

The service and care at Bergen County Veterinary is exceptional! They are very detailed and responsive. Follow-up always gives me peace of mind. Everyone is wonderful from front desk receptionist, technicians, to doctors, and everyone is caring. Wonderful care.

I can not thank you enough!! We had a vet for 35 years one hour away from our house. They turned us away when our older Golden got vestibular disease. Bergen County Vets fit us in! We weren’t even their patients! Absolutely love them!!! Dr Moore removed cancerous skin bumps from one of our other Goldens, she was so great! We now have 3 dogs, we lost our older Golden a few months ago. Dr Black was so sweet, and caring when it was time to say goodbye. One more thing even the receptionists are awesome, Laura listened to my dilemma and totally took care of us! THIS PLACE IS SO FABULOUS, THANK YOU!!!

The vets here are kind, gentle and patient... they fully review X-rays and are always willing to answer questions. Very happy with the care they provide and my shihpoo actually will walk in on his own! Excellent experience with Dr. Schiffman and Dr. Lewis in particular.

We started taking our girl here about two years ago. Dr. Megan Moore is our main vet. We absolutely love her, she is compassionate, knowledgable and she speaks with candor. If she is not available, we have seen other vets in the practice and they are just as wonderful. The women at the front desk are very responsive and sweet and go above and beyond to make sure you and your pet are taken care of.

We started seeing Dr. Rachel Black about 7 years ago when she was located in Brooklyn, NY. We have since followed her to Bergen County. She has saved COUNTLESS dogs and cats of ours. From litters dying from parvo to kittens that need bottle fed, she never turned an animal away. She is so thoughtful and very careful with the way she practices veterinary medicine. She is also one of the kindest vets you will come across. Her empathy will astound you. She is always up to date on literature and will let us know what she feels is best due to this and chooses medication wisely for that specific animal. We prefer to use her with our senior animals, as she is very careful in her practice. She takes time to explain the animals medical condition to us and is very careful when prescribing for them. From Spike who was drug under a car and needed daily bandage changes for weeks, to Rosie who needed diabetic control, to Gigi who needed an extensive dental, to Sydney who was missing most of his lower jaw due to poor dental care, to Brooklyn who was paralyzed and had recurrent urinary tract infections, to the "D" litter who had parvo, we thank you Dr. Black! The list is endless for those she has saved. Here are just a few!
