How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Mineola Animal Hospital
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance

Very well run facility. Quick, efficient, and informative. Great price and availability as well. Felt very comfortable brining my puppy Ares. They took great care of him, and he seems to be doing great. Thank you for everything .

Dr Mazolla and her staff are incredible. They provided my Rottweiler with safe, compassionate care. Hans wanted no part of their help and the staff knew exactly how to handle him. Thank you so much for making my pup feel better. I would highly recommend this veterinary office.

So we had another Vet we used to go to (Banfield). Recently, our puppy Juliette was not doing well - not eating and very lethargic. We were really concerned. And our prior vet just would not make time for us even though we tried for 2 days. Then we called Mineola Animal Hospital. Despite being new clients, they took us right away. And more importantly, they made our puppy feel better (who was clearly in a lot of pain). Everyone was so nice to us - even carried her to and from our car. And the veterinarian was so sweet - took plently of time to explain everything to us. Not rushed. This is our new place - we highly recommend it!!

My daughters took our dog in to see Dr. Deme because our dog was not sleeping, was pacing all night long, and was just not acting normal. We figured that it was an ear infection, because this had happened once before. Dr. Deme checked his ears and said it's not an ear infection. He claimed it was anxiety. He prescribed a medication, and when they asked him what the medication was, he looked it up on Google. Two days later, after the pill did not work, my daughter called the office and asked to bring the dog back to see Dr. Deme because she felt it really had to be an infection in his inner ear. Dr. Deme was rather rude and told her that his ears look clear otherwise they would be red. He then told her that it may be a neurological issue. My daughter had explained that this had happened once before to him, and it was his inner ear and asked if he could please give him an antibiotic. After arguing with her, he did agree to clean the ears, and give our dog an antibiotic. It was a little strange to her, that he took the dog in another room, to clean the ears and give the antibiotic and would not let her be present. Why she wasn't allowed to watch, is beyond us. Over $300 later, and after he listened to my daughter, the dog is now back to his normal self and sleeping with no issues. It just amazes me that my daughter diagnosed the dog better than the doctor. The bedside manner was unacceptable. Had he looked into the records of our dog, he would've seen that this issue had happened in the past, and maybe it would've been taken care of the first time instead of having to spend money on another appointment two days later. This experience was just awful, and we will not be bringing our dog back there. We would never put our dog through that again; Very unprofessional!

The staff was amazing, this place marks every check off the list for a remarkable experience with your pets at the vet. Examinations were spot on and nothing beats the price. On top they gave us so many free samples I couldn't believe how nice everyone was. Thank you!
