How to Save Money at Center for Veterinary Care

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've been to several vets in NYC over the past 20 years and Dr. Greene is by far one of the best and trustworthy! The staff is super efficent and friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Greene. Our vet visit was very pleasent and informative. Most importantly our dogs loved Dr. Greene which is a huge plus as they were always frightened to go to the vet in the past.

I have been coming to this vet for several years and if I could give "0" stars I would. First I was told via the phone after an echo test that nothing had changed with my dog but then the doctor said sorry that was for another dog your dog has gotten worse. No further information was given but he will need medicine and you can come pick him up. When I arrived for pick up I was given medicine with no info on side effects, what was going on with him, what was the plan for the future. I asked for the vet to come out since this was so concerning to me. She came out for 2 minutes tops and seemed so annoyed with me for taking up her time. I questioned the girl at the front desk what was the medicine for and she came back and said oh your dog is in heart failure. no further explanation. When I got home I reviewed the report from the cardiologist and it said the dog was not in heart failure. I followed up with the office manager and she told me "the vet is having a bad week" I went for a second opinion in Brooklyn and I am thankful. The new vet spent 30 minutes going over everything with me, explaining what was going on, changed the medicine and did an extensive exam. Horrible service to say the least for my dog and myself . I will never return to this vet and neither should you!

Highly disappointed in the service we've received for our pug which has been rapidly decreasing over the past few years. Our recent visit a few months back, we were told that during his checkup that he had a slight ear infection. Upon the vet's suggestion, they sold us an ear medication which ultimately cost our dog a good portion of his hearing. His hearing was perfectly normal when we took him in and after a period of time, we noticed he was not responding the same way he would. When someone told us our dog seemed like he was deaf, I looked up the medication only to find out that the VERY FIRST WARNING for the product was hearing loss! If we would have known this, we would have asked for some sort of alternative or sought another opinion. After calling the vet today, they told me that we could bring him back in to be evaluated, but only at our cost as they would not be waiving any fees for something that would appear to be negligence on their part. We've been bringing our pug into this vet for nearly twelve year and yes, there's been a lot of change with this place. We should have stopped coming a few years ago when they prescribed him a flea / heart-worm combo medication which was on the recall list which almost killed him. Now this happens. I'm done! It's abundantly clear that they have put the care of your pet aside and are only out for your money. This place is probably one of the more costly locations in the city to begin with. The service has not matched the inflated cost, so we'll be gathering our records and going to another location starting today.

They are kind and friendly. I asked them a rabies titer test and health certipicate for visiting South Korea. They did it very well. Even though my cat didn’t pass the result, so she’s gotta get it again in Korea. And people should wait outside when their pet meet the veterinarians due to the COVID19.

Everyone was incredibly friendly and my dog Drake got the care he needed being new to the city & area. Not only did I leave happy, informed and with peace of mind that he was in good healthy, Drake also left in a great mood and thoroughly enjoyed his visit. I definitely recommend!
