How to Save Money at Petchester Veterinary
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.

Absolutely love this place. They’re always friendly and the staff truly care for your animal! My dog sees Dr. Ring and I cannot say enough good things about her. She goes above and beyond to make sure you and your animal are comfortable. She calls as needed and makes sure you are fully educated on the situation at hand. She takes her time with you and your animal! She genuinely cares about the well-being of your animal. I highly recommend!!

Appalled by my treatment here start to finish. I brought my recently rescued dog here for an initial check up for concerns I wanted to speak with a vet professional about. Upon entry, waiting room is filled with dogs and cats, a good portion free roaming off leash. My dog did not handle it well, could not relax and cried constantly. Staff did nothing to help and had us waiting there for 20 mins (despite being on time for appt). When we finally got into a private room, my dog wasn’t given even a minute to adjust/cool off and was met with a vet and assistant who were both rude, fearful, and lacked any compassion or interest. My dog was NOT AT ALL AGGRESSIVE THE ENTIRE TIME but was hyper to the point of jumping on them. The vet had told me my dog would kill a small child, which I found to be an entirely unnecessary and offensive comment. I agreed to bloodwork and they sent him to the back. 2 mins later assistant tells me we are all set to leave. I had to request the vet back because we had spoken only a minute and I had many questions about my dogs health and behavior. He returned to tell me he had no answers for me. I was charged for additional tests I wasn’t informed would be done and I don’t even know what they are for. I alerted the facility and they still haven’t given me a response or even the results of the bloodwork! Do not bring your dogs here, these people clearly cannot be bothered to pretend to care. My sweet dog did not deserve this and neither does yours, and this isn’t even the half of it!

Always a warm and friendly welcoming atmosphere. The doctors, nurse assistants, and receptionists will work with you and your daily busy scheduling as long as you work with them, too, whilst taking good care of your pooch which is very hard to find in some vets. The prices and service are very reasonable as they do take their time making your pooch feel aware they're in good hands 😌 switched from vetco to Petchester and was the best decision ever made. Always in a good mood after her visits. 🤩

The waiting area is very clean. The ladies that check you in are great. I have met all three of the vets and I feel very comfortable with any one of the them and their ability to take care of my dogs well being.

I have been using Dr Ben Adi for my cats for about 14 yrs now. Followed him from his previous practice in Scarsdale. Dr Ben Adi is great and never tried to push any expensive treatments on my cat who had lifelong digestive issues as long as my cat was eating and healthy weight. I recently boarded my senior cat while I was away and the overnight charge was actually cheaper than at a regular boarding facility. I would recommend Dr Ben Adi to anyone looking for a caring Vet.
