How to Save Money at City Pets

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.

Dr. Attas and the team at CityPets are the best. I highly recommend CityPets to anyone looking for compassionate veterinary care. Prior to the pandemic, my cat Mitzi was diagnosed with lymphoma and Dr.Attas, Dr.Dalton and team came to our home to administer chemotherapy. Throughout the pandemic they took precautions to keep everyone safe. Their kindness and expertise helped Mitzi live another 4 years with a wonderful quality of life. When it was time to say goodbye, Dr.Attas was able to quickly add us to the schedule and came to the apartment, even after a long day of other appointments because she truly cared for him and didn't want him to suffer. Having a veterinarian who truly cares about your pet so much is invaluable. Thank you Dr.Attas, Dr.Dalton and the CityPets team for all that you do.

Dr. Attas is the best vet ever. I'm so grateful to have the option of home care for my cats since they are too anxious to physically go to the vet. She and her assistant have been extremely professional and timely in their response. Calling the office gets you a visit almost within 24-48 hours and even quicker if it's a real emergency. It was the least stressful pet visit ever. They set up in your home very quickly and take the time to get to know your cat before they prod them. They always take the time to educate an anxious cat parent and their rates are very reasonable. My cats love them! Thanks so much Dr. Attas!

My dog was severely ill and unfortunately had to be euthanized. But prior to his passing I called on city pets for help, Dr Attas and her team were amazing they treated my dog with such care and compassion. I’ve never had the experience of a vet following up on my pet and really making sure that the care provided was helping until city pets. I recommend their services to anyone. Because they really do care and they will try everything to help your pet with whatever they need. I plan to keep them as my go to vet. Best in the city in my opinion

Dr. Amy Attas saved Yoda's life! Yoda is our 8-year old French Bulldog and he had a terrible experience at another vet in the West Village - we almost lost him at a dental appointment gone wrong!! Dr. Attas was referred to us by a friend. Shortly after Dr. Attas started her house calls at our apartment, Yoda wasn't eating regularly and she noticed Yoda's blood work was abnormal. We took Yoda straight away to Blue Pearl after Dr. Attas called to warn us that this was an urgent matter. Dr. Attas has relationships with the doctors at Blue Pearl and she was able to follow up with them directly. Yoda wouldn't be here if Dr. Attas hadn't caught this abnormal blood work early on. Yoda had an emergency surgery to remove a portion of his liver and his gallbladder which would have ruptured in the imminent future. This is often caught after the fact with dogs, when it's too late!! She's been great with Yoda and always follows up! Not to mention she comes to us so we don't have to Uber Yoda around! Couldn't recommend City Pets more!!

Our elderly border collie mix Luna became so nervous during visits to our old vet that we could no longer bear to take her in. We wanted to arrange home visits and were referred to City Pets. The experience could not have been better. Dr. Amy Attas has been so compassionate and kind to us and to our dog. She is responsive to our emails and phone calls, even on weekends and in the evenings. She is very gentle with Luna and brings along with her everything that is needed. When Luna recently had a very bad day, Dr. Attas was there the next morning. I can’t stress enough what a difference it has made to have her there to help us get through this difficult stage of our beautiful dog’s life.
