How to Save Money at Hudson Highlands Veterinary Medical Group - Hopewell Junction

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 can’t say enough about the veterinary care we received at Hudson Highlands throughout my years as a dog mom. Dr. Christianson and Dr. Ball are beyond amazing. They are both compassionate and empathize with families while still putting the pets health first. Dr. Christianson goes above and beyond at every vet appointment. If there is something he isn’t sure about. He will research it and get back to you always. We recently had to put one of our dogs down. This was my first experience and Dr. Ball made sure I knew I was making the right choice. She never pressured me but her compassion helped me as a dog mom know in my heart it was the best choice for my dog. We are now reaching that time again with our second dog and are grateful for the knowledge, experience, and compassion of each of these doctors during this challenging time as a pet loving family. Thank you Dr. Ball and Dr. Christianson!

Our fur babes have been loyal patients of Hudson Highlands for over 20 years. We are thrilled with the compassionate care of the Doctors, vet techs and the entire staff. We would not trust our most beloved pets to anyone else. They go above and beyond to help families care for the animals they love so deeply. I’m so grateful to this community

For almost two decades Hudson Highlands Veterinary practice has provided extraordinary care to all our companion animals - while mostly our dear dogs, felines are also in that mix. All the veterinarians are outstanding-and the staff is incredible. So grateful to them for all their expert care and genuine concern. Shiloh, Cooper, (& all those who have passed) love their visits to HHV.
