How to Save Money at Animal Clinic of Queens

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.

My cat lost her tooth in May in the emergency. I made an appointment for an x-ray for this animal clinic. I had to change my schedule and everything, because the NOT HELPFUL receptionist said, I need to be there before 3 pm to make x-ray, because they close at 7 pm but don't make x-ray after 3 pm. I went there in time, when doctor said he see my cat doesn't have any issue inside of her dental bed! And he is not able to make x-ray, or okay, he will make it for so much money if I wanna throw out my money and he was laughing at me. But they charged the visiting fee. I went back in September to get the vaccine and I asked the doctor again, how is everything with my cats teeth? He said everything is okay, if I want I can make a tooth cleaning but I don't need to. I didn't get a price for this when I asked twice! At the same day an hour later my cat had a hanging tooth again. They were close already and I had to go to the emergency again, where they said, my cats has 3 bad roots next to the lost tooth, and she immediately needs x-ray and tooth cleaning. The doctor is a nice person, but not really care of your little one, and the receptionist is not helpful, little rude and doesn't do her job well. I am pretty sure we won't go back here anymore for to pay but don't get service.

I recently brought my cat in for a check-up, and the staff were exceptional! They were incredibly friendly and provided great service. The office was clean, the appointment was efficient with minimal waiting time. The best part was seeing how relaxed and comfortable my cat was in their care. I am absolutely delighted to have such a fantastic local veterinary clinic!

i normally dont like to leave reviews but if i could give a zero stars i will, ive been going here since i got my dog he is now 13 years old i called to get the flea pill and they told me they cant find my file because it was filed away since i havent been there in 3 years which is bull, if i havent been there in years how is it they been selling me the pill makes no sense, front staff is completely rude ive been talking to speak to a doctor and apparently he is never there, i called today and they refused to put him on the phone because he is to “busy”. when my husband went in they claimed they dont have a file for my dog that they would have to start a brand new folder and do tests then they told my husband they need to make money!!!! plenty of people came to me complaining that they dont care about they care of the pets never really listened but now i know!!!!

I have three blue nose pitbulls and this vet office is the only one who wasn’t scared of them. Very affordable and full of loving care for animals. I love this place… Thank you 🙏🏾 for being so gentle with my babies…

I followed Dr Mucera here from Auburndale because he’s the best cat vet I’ve ever had. My cats are very calm with him as his manner is very soothing. Whatever imperfections the office may have, this vet is gifted and is worth waiting for.
