How to Save Money at Aquebogue Veterinary 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.

Wonderful and most caring staff I have ever met at a veterinarian office! I have never felt so cared for, and especially the animals, your animal is not just a number or money maker to this vet. They treat you like family and give your pet the care they deserve! HANDS DOWN THE NEST VET OFFICE I HAVE EVER BEEN TO AND WILL ALWAYS GO TO FROM THIS POINT ON!

Dr. Naseem came to the rescue when we had lost all hope after a cancer diagnosis for our Basset Hound Tula. Dr. Naseem reviewed the records and after consulting with another clinician came to the conclusion that Tula was misdiagnosed. We enjoyed 18 more months with our girl & are forever thankful for the time and care.

Friendly & helpful staff. Got us in right away for non-emergency but concerning issue. Follow up call next day fron Dr. was unexpected and an added touch. Office visit pricing was very fair. Meds were priced on the high end compared to online but we needed them asap. Overall I would recommend this clinic. 😁

I really don't know anything about this practice. I stopped by to see the architectural wonder known as the Witch's Hat, which happens to be on the property. Google Maps asked for the review

They saved my puppy. He ate a yellow jacket and it stung him in his mouth. He is only 3 pounds and 10 weeks old. I could not believe they were open on Labor Day. A miracle. They took him right in. I loved the Dr. And the staff. So amazing. I am forever in debt to them.
