How to Save Money at GoodVets Emergency Clinic West Village
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.

We love Dr. Alena and GoodVets West Village! We first brought our kitten in at just over 12 weeks old for his checkups and vaccines and are always so happy with the service, care and attention the whole team gives our baby. The location is also incredibly convenient in West Village and the whole office is brand new and cheery. Whenever we have any questions or issues, we are able to chat through the portal easily or give the team a call - they were even able to get us in for a visit within a few hours of call when our kitty had a minor issue. Thanks for taking such good care of our kitty!

Dr. Alena has established an amazing vet practice here in Greenwich Village. Jun and I and our dogs went to the opening party. Dr Alena was kind enough to give us some insight on our dog Oreo. He has issues.. welcome to the neighborhood Good Vets , we will definitely recommend.

Leaving this vet after an unpleasant third visit. The vet’s altitude changed drastically after the friendly first visit. Apparently, my dog is not trained enough for this vet. When the vet tried to check on the back of my dog, my dog was distressed. The vet basically scolded at me saying that I need to train my dog and my dog can’t do whatever she wants. I was literally shocked—is this something I supposed to hear from a professional vet. Leaving how much training I have given to my dog, I do agree on what the person said, but hearing from a vet, no way. She could have handled this situation at least more professionally. But I really appreciate all the work of the assistants and receptionist who gave me flexible schedules.

Dr. F and the team at GoodVets West Village are compassionate, responsive, and very good listeners. Dr F showed up for "Rusty" with interest, enthusiasm, and solid clinical acumen. She also easily handled the negotiations my partner and I were making about euthanasia, as she understood both of our perspectives (one of us holding on, one of us wanting to let go) and helped us to find compromise. We were so sad that our "Rusty" had to leave us quickly, as we wanted Dr. F to send him on his way. Even tho Dr. F did not perform the final procedure (we were out of town), her follow up was extensive and greatly appreciated. She reached beyond what was required. A shout out also to Wendy, Kaylah, and Mia who also round out the GoodVets team. I recommend GoodVets in The West Village most enthusiastically. And so, I believe, would our "Rusty" boy.

I brought my cat Arthur to GoodVets recently for a check-up and annual vaccines. Dr. Ferrigno and her staff took excellent care of Arthur and were very thorough during the check-up. A summary of the visit and recommendations were provided shortly afterwards which was helpful. Dr. Ferrigno and her staff were communicative and caring throughout the process. I would highly recommend GoodVets to others.
