How to Save Money at Community Veterinary 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.

Our visit today with Dr. Leahy Sr. was our first and it was absolutely surprising… Dr.Leahy truly is warm, caring, compassionate,intelligent, friendly and wonderful to be around ..and knowing that your fur baby is in the hands of someone that is capable and caring and really is concerned about doing the right thing for the well-being of your family member. Especially after seeing how my little beagle warmed up to Dr. Leahy after five minutes of him showing her a lil love.. she actually melted right into his arms and chest as to be giving him a hug 🤗 that really made me feel like I knew that she knew that she was in the right hands 🙏🏻 we have been at community vet for 3 to 4 years now and our last vet has retired and so we are blessed to now be taken care of by Dr. Leahy. I hope to have many many more visits with Dr. Leahy for our little Girl “Penny love” and our Boy “Prince Lorenzo” …. also during our visit we had a new assistant (sorry can’t remember her name) But, she is a peach very welcoming very warm and so sweet I hope that she stays for a long time. Community Veterinary office is very wonderful there may be a couple of people out there that have other opinions but I come from Sleepy Hollow New York and I have been to some of the best vets they have to offer in Westchester County New York and comparing to a couple of other vets near Oneonta New York I would recommend Dr. Leahy and his staff 100% !! Not only did he show compassion for my Girl 🐶but he made me feel cared for and understanding as Her Mamma ☺️ Thank You Dr.Leahy…

We bring all of our animals to Community Vet and have always been pleased! We have seen most of the different doctors for different things over the years. Each of them is wonderful, caring and dedicated to doing the best for our critters! Our “Old Man Cat” would especially like to thank Dr. John Leahy for helping his old bones feel better!

I know I tend to have irrational fears concerning my pets after having an epileptic dog ruin my pet owning confidence (if that makes an sense lol), they're always so insanely helpful and get me in as soon as they can (same day usually if I'm extra worried). Phenomenal vet care, and I couldn't be happier with how I'm treated there. Like a normal person and not an insane person for every little issue I have lol

We've been taking our pets (lots) to Community Vet Center for literally decades, and they're always treated like family. All staff are very knowledgeable and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Today was our first visit and, everyone was wonderful. The place is very clean, and it feels comfortable for humans and their pets. I did not feel rushed or unseen. There is no trace of a cold corporation hanging in the air. Our new Vet, Joe Wilson, was kind, generous with his time and knowledge, and made me feel like I had made a sound decision in choosing Community Veterinary to care for the non-human members of our family. But Dr. Wilson was not the only person who showed care and kindness. Everyone with whom I interacted, was kind and courteous. Of course, this was only the first visit. Time will tell if this is a sound choice. I have not had a sick pet or an emergent situation, and that is really where the rubber meets the road. We are off to a great start. And, right now, I'm grateful for that.
