How to Save Money at The Schwarzman Animal Medical Center
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.

My dog had surgery done by Dr. Jonathan Ferrari and his warmth radiates when he speaks to you. Right away I knew that my dog was in good hands. He cares about his patients. The whole staff were great from the moment I entered the building.

I have been taking 2 of my cats here since my Ragdoll kitten developed uveitis one day that led to finding liver problems, and I wasn’t crazy about the other emergency vet I was going to. Dr. Thomson has been so wonderful with my Michelangelo, even though he doesn’t act too wonderful towards her when he is there. His liver values are normal now. Dr. Palma is also great, and it looks like he cured my other cat Shadow of a parasite after my regular vet kept treating over and over for the wrong one. He just knew from the symptoms what was wrong. If your pet has something serious going on, this is the place to go.

My 16yo dog Noah was transferred to AMC from another emergency vet hospital over Labor Day weekend for an emergency splenectomy. I cannot thank AMC enough for saving my dogs life. In his 16 years I’ve unfortunately had experience with emergency vet experiences and the level of attention and care that they provide not just your pet but also as the owner, spending time to call on a regular schedule to explain your pets current condition, patiently answer any and all questions you have, even sending photos on request, made an incredibly scary and dangerous situation more manageable. I’m thrilled to say my Noah is home and recovering better than I expected. The whole team, from surgery to ICU to intake, discharge and billing were so lovely and kind. Thank you!
