How to Save Money at Nyack Neighborhood Veterinary
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.

I've had cats for 20+ years, and have been to half a dozen vets. This practice is the gold standard for animal care. Dr Gaylord has the nicest bedside manner. The staff couldn't be friendlier, and they're amazing at getting a pet in quickly. It's also super clean, and I've never said a vet's office was pretty but it's a calm, beautiful space. Bring your pets here for the best treatment around.

Nyack, you are so lucky to have Dr. Gaylord at Nyack Neighborhood Vet. He is the best- knowledgeable, caring, and is an amazing vet. He took care of my two elderly cats and dog. He presented a variety of treatment options when they became ill and was able to help me choose a reasonable care plan for each pet. He is kind and compassionate to animals and their humans. You couldn't pick a better place to take your pets than Nyack Neighborhood Veterinary!

Dr. Gaylord and his staff are incredible. Not only does the entire practice have a neighborhood feel that is just so welcoming (for pets and humans alike) but the actual treatment and bedside manner (yes - important for animals!) is unmatched. So glad this gem has come to our town!!

If you or a beloved family member is not feeling well what qualities do you look for in a doctor? Obviously, you want a doctor who is knowledgeable and competent. You want a doctor who has a good bedside manner. This is especially important if the patient is nervous. And you want someone who shows they care; someone who would spend the needed time in the examination room, and to talk to you afterwards. For many reasons this is getting harder to find, not the least is because corporations are buying up many private practices, both medical and veterinary. And they are run like corporations. It doesn’t matter if your beloved family member has two legs or four legs, you are looking for the same qualities in their doctors. Dr. Gaylord has all these qualities, and he is backed by an exceptional staff.
