How to Save Money at Flushing Veterinary 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.

Probably the best vet I've been to. Dr Perkins really cares about the animals. I wouldn't go to anyone else at this point.

Unfortunately, you have officially lost a client today. I have been desperately trying to call the office to have a conversation with Dr. Perkins only to hear a voice-mail multiple times then decided to call Dr. Perkins main office and explain to them that at my last visit with them, Dr. Perkins talked with me about getting both of my kitties neutered she offered me to charge $80-100 per neutering cause she knew my mother was a loyal client with multiple of cats and because I am in financial situation because I'm in college. However, I called front desk to speak with her about it since it's been some time (about a few weeks) and they absolutely declined to allow me to speak to the doctor and lied to my face telling me that the 80 was blood work but when I visited the doctor it was for the blood work already and it came out to 200 per cat. So they have lied to my face and refused me to have a conversation with the doctor. I don't know how Dr. Perkins picks her employees but each and everytime I visit both locations I am met with rude manners and leaving feeling as if i was disrespected and not heard at all. I stayed because I love Dr. Perkins and her kindness and affection for my pets and all pets but enough is enough. I'm done. I'm sick and tired of her staff and their utter rudeness time and time again.

This Vet location came highly recommended from a friend I meet every morning in my local dog park. Doctor helped my dog when he had a cheek rash. I had to put a cone around my dog while administering antibiotic meds. On the last follow up visit he did not charge me for the follow up. Five stars!

5 star rating based on care of our pets. Our big one is a 140 lb. Mastiff. We have been regulars for over 10 years. Dr. Perkins has been great all these years. Her fees are reasonable.
