How to Save Money at Manetto Hill Animal Hospital

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.

If I could give the Manetto Hill Animal Hospital a 6/5, I would do it! I had a VERY BIG problem... a 90lb German Shepherd named Max who did not want his nails trimmed or his ears cleaned. I had it done by having his previous vet sedate him. Unfortunately, the last time I went to the previous vet (not Manetto Hill), the ear problem was not corrected and Max's pain and discomfort remained. It needed to be fixed, but I soon found out it was not easy to find a vet who would sedate a dog for a "pedicure". I tried several and to be honest, they just didn't understand my dilemma. I happened to have been at a doctor's office at 100 Manetto Hill Rd. (Dr. Britto if you ever need an outstanding podiatrist by the way!) when I heard barking next door. So after my appointment I walked over to the office, explained my problem to the front desk staff, and they said, "No problem!" They told me Max could be put into a "twilight" sleep (not fully awake, not fully under) which sounded wonderful to me. They scheduled me for the following day :) So you know, Max can be very aggressive with other dogs and even some people. If he wasn't so handsome and loving he would have been on his way back to the rescue folks in So. Carolina! But he is and he's not. When I brought him in, Dr. Weiss and his assistant, Cathy, took the time to take a case history and get to know Maxy-boy. After 5 minutes Max was so comfortable with them, he just laid down on the floor. After the consult, Cathy was able to take the leash and walk Mr. Max out without me! I have never been able to do this before. I knew then I was in the right office! Dr. Weiss explained all procedures that would be done and even gave me an estimate which I really appreciated! Two hours later Maxy was trimmed and cleaned, I picked him up and we've been happy ever since. So speaking as a fellow doctor, if you are looking for a professional and caring veterinarian, whose office is top notch and has great front desk staff as well (Did I forget to mention them? They were wonderful!!) then you MUST call Manetto Hill Animal Hospital and make an appointment. And it's nice to know that Dr. Weiss is a local Syosset High School graduate! Don't wait, call today!!!

They're wonderful all around from calling to make an appointment to cleanliness. The vets especially Dr. Shevell, the other vets and vet technician.

Manetto Hill Animal Hospital is an incredible place for your animals to be cared for with TLC. Especially Dr. Mantovani. She is an absolute blessing and angel. She has gone above and beyond for my baby boy Rudy, and he was always treated like an all star whenever he was visiting the vet. They truly care about you and your pets, and I could not recommend them higher, if I could.

The staff is horrible. They cut my dog during grooming. My dog is white and there was visible obvious blood on her, when I went to pick her up. Oh this is the best part they make you drop your dog off at 8 am and pickup is around 4 or whenever they remember. The grooming itself doesn’t, it cannot literally last for more than an hour, it’s a tiny dog. I’ve had a groomer at home and she’s done it under an hour but somehow Manetto hill animal hospital needs at least 8 hours for a one hour job. They literally hold the dog there all day and they get to it when they get to it. My dog was literally bleeding and they didn’t even mention it. No sorry, no band aid, nothing. The staff there is pompous and expect you to get on your knees and bow to them. They act as if they are Your customer and you have to please them. Not even the Vets want to work there, my dog has seen at least 5 different vets because they never last there. They have been overcharging me for my senior dogs medicine. They don’t care about your pet at all. These are bad people and I wouldn’t trust them with a rock. They take advantage of the love people have for their pets and try to extort any and every cent they can squeeze out of you. Mary is nice. Diane is a patient.
