How to Save Money at Middletown Animal Clinic

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.

I've been taking my dog here for 8+ years and I'm so thankful my friend from the neighborhood referred me to them back then. My dog had an ear infection, and they helped to get me an appointment the same day. Dr. Anastasiou was great, explained what I need to do and everyone was super friendly. They're also very straightforward and honest every time I go, not gouging me like other vets I've been too in the past. Very pleased as well about the recent upgrades with the app and new office look!

This was my first visit to Middletown Animal Clinic. It was very easy to schedule an appointment. The staff is very professional and welcoming. Dr. Anastasiou is an excellent vet, who is very thorough, caring and compassionate. He does not rush his patients. He gives his diagnosis and allows time for questions and clarifications, if necessary. You will not be disappointed with the care given your fur baby.

I have been bringing my pets to Middletown Animal Clinic for the past 10 years. The expertise, compassion, and kindness of the staff is truly amazing! Dr. Ross, Dr. A, Regina, Justine, Simon - and the rest of the staff have gone above and beyond to make sure they address all of our concerns and treat our pets with the utmost love and respect. I can’t sing their praises enough! As a worrier and pet mom, I know my babies are in the best hands out there. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Middletown Animal Clinic is a heaven sent. When my little Tiger was diagnosed with medical ailments, the team at Middletown was very compassionate and transparent with his care. They went above and beyond to offer him the best of care, and although there are never enough years with our pets, Tiger lived for many more years because of the support he received from the veterinary team here. Dr. Ross is the best veterinarian I’ve ever met, and my Tiger received exceptional care from Dr. A as well. The staff made sure he received the best possible care, and checked in to make sure I was ok as I navigated this process, especially Regina. The amount of love and compassion Regina shows to all pets and clients that walk through those doors is truly heartwarming, and is something I will never forget. Although I do not remember all the names of the staff, they were all so kind and caring as well. Thank you to the best team!

Such an amazing animal clinic! Our dog (13yr old) had a swollen stomach that happened overnight and it ended up being a problem with her uterus; if she didn’t have surgery she would have passed away very soon. Dr. Anastasiou performed her surgery with the assistance of Regina and Nancy. She is now in amazing shape, eating, and very active just a week after surgery. From the knowledge of Dr. Anastasiou to the comfort of the nurses, we knew instantly that Pebbles was in good hands. Very grateful for them!❤️
