How to Save Money at Amityville 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.
Reviews from Google
We have been going to Amityville Animal Hospital since 1999 when Dr. Cuccaro was the Vet with a canine companion, Yoki for my brother who was a quadriplegic. Yoki lived 16 years. Dr. C sold the practice to the perfect Vet, Dr Roiland. We then have brought several dogs (Snickers, Richie, Scrappy and Julie) to Dr. Roiland who goes above and beyond. He treats each pet as if they are his own. We’ve had dogs with tumors, diabetes, allergies and Cushings disease as they grew into seniors. He never rushes you and always follows up with a phone call. He answers every question and will always go the extra mile with a positive attitude. He make you feel at ease! We would never consider going anywhere else. Dr. Roiland should be commended for being an Amazing Vet!

ABSOLUTELY GREAT...Once again, great care, great vets, and staff. Dr. Roiland and the other staff are just wonderful. I can honestly say without a doubt you will be happy taking your loved one here for any type of issue. Just had to visit again to take my almost 13-year-old pom with a slipped disk amd neck issues after being attacked by a mastiff, and was so hapy with the help we recieved. So glad I have such a caring, knowledgeable Dr to handle this, and once again feel like I'm in excellent hands. Thanks Dr. Roiland and Amityville Animal Hospital!!

The consummate professional, kind and caring. The staff is treats you as if you're their only client taking the time to explain what needs to be done, how it is going to be done and what you can expect. Dr. Roiland will put you at ease as he treats your extended family with the best care possible.
