How to Save Money at Suburban 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.

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 have used Suburban Animal Hospital for about 14 years now. I lost (she passed) a special dog (friend) last June. Suburban Animal Hospital was there for me throughout her entire life and was incredibly supportive when she passed! I have a new puppy now, and I wouldn't consider any other clinic after all my years with Suburban! The level of professionalism as well as the demeanor of the staff is a winning combination. My conclusion...6 STARS!!! THREE thumbs up!! (Is that possible??!!) Highly recommend!!

I have been with this vet for years and when you actually somehow get an appointment it’s great! They are wonderful and do a great job. Why I am rating this hospital so low is because the communication between the customers and the vets is inefficient. I have called them to set up and appointment for my animal and I have to leave a message every time I call. Which is fine if they actually stuck to their time limit. I didn’t hear back from them for many days until I called again and they called me the next day. I wasn’t able to answer so I thought oh they might try again. They never did. Another time is when I was at college and I wanted to make an appointment in advance and they weren’t booking out that far and they said they would call me when it was opening. They never did. Overall I like the work they do here it’s just incredibly frustrating to even attempt to make an appointment here. I understand it’s busy but the phone call system doesn’t really work so well. I have talked to others about this vet and they are also frustrated and trying to figure out if we should stay or not.

Surburbean Vet has been so wonderful to us and our cats. They helped us through the final months and days. They were so sweet and compassionate. They also care for our younger cat and they are equally excellent in care and gentle manner. We highly recommend them!

This place has consistently been absolutely wonderful to us and have gone above and beyond with 5 dogs over the years. They deserve 5 stars in every category, from overall care, loving vets & techs, communication, professionalism, cleanliness, fair pricing (as far as vet care goes) and the comfort of the pet being their top priority. Even after all the years we’ve been going here I continue to be impressed with and grateful for the amount of care and concern shown to our dogs and quite honestly our whole family (for ex. helping dogs over the rainbow bridge is a family affair). Every staff person there seems happy to work there, which says a lot about the owners and company overall. Truly a wonderful place for vet care for your pets!
