How to Save Money at Catskill Veterinary Services, PLLC
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.

If you’ve had a bad experience with this place in the past I deeply encourage you to give them another try. I started out not the biggest fan of this location but since going back after they started taking my pets, pet insurance they have more than won me over. Dr Andrews the surgeon is amazing and Veterinarian Dr Janis is compassionate and you couldn’t pay me to go anywhere else. Even their technicians whom I have came to know a few of them work very hard and are very knowledgeable, helpful and kind. Thank you guys for your hard work and taking such great care of my girls.

I brought my dog in to their Urgent Care, as he was very sick and having seizures. Dr Sara was the best!! She took great care of my dog and he absolutely loves her. I never have an issue with anything I call for, and Dr Sara returns phone calls within a short time. All our questions are answered and we don't feel rushed when we go there. The entire staff there is fantastic!

I came here looking for a second opinion after taking my cat to my local vet and having my concerns glossed over. Dr. Green and the tech showed SO much compassion, and I could tell right away that I would have the answers I was looking for. They were so kind to my Leo, and were so comforting. I'm so happy I decided to come here, I felt heard and I'm so happy knowing my baby is being taken care of.

This is my local veterinary hospital as I am fairly new to Sullivan County and I will gladly travel for all of my future veterinary needs. I’ve tried this place with 2 of my pets and will never go back. My cat has a chronic condition that sometimes requires urgent care and they were very difficult to work with in treating/ managing his needs during Covid. I now travel 45 minutes to a better vet for him. Now today, poor service again for my 13 week old puppy in for 2 shots. In my opinion, the hospital is poorly designed— crowded from the waiting room to the small patient rooms, which only have 1 door. It also seems very poorly managed— after waiting a good while, my dog was taken in the back for vitals by 2 triage techs and then returned to me to wait even longer. Once a patient room was available, we were seen not only by the doctor, but 2 additional techs, one who seemed to be in training. That’s 5 people for a vaccine visit. Some of the staff is friendly, but some are just downright cold. My scared puppy was not greeted by the Dr. at all and I was greeted with a couple snide comments because I needed a rabies vaccine on short notice for a trip we’re going on. (I called for an appointment and they booked me btw as I was willing to pay the cost of an urgent care visit.) I was not given verbal advice or information on how my puppy may respond to the vaccine by any of those 5 “vet professionals” but they were sure to let me know I need to be back in a few weeks for more vaccines! It was like I was an inconvenient/incompetent client in a vet hospital that is too busy to take the time to actually care. And it’s not the first time I’ve left feeling this way. Veterinary care is expensive and I expect top notch care and customer service as a paying customer and pet owner. What a shame is all I have to say. Do yourself a favor and choose a different vet.

I called this place over a concern of a possible hernia for my little baby expecting to be given an appointment in a couple weeks. The lady i spoke to i wish I remembered her name she fit me in the same day. I was only waiting less than 30 minutes once i got there. From beginning to end everyone was so welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere is very inviting. Dr. Joe D’Abbraccio was great and answered all questions I had as well as put my mind to ease. Sara Onesty was so sweet and made me feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend this place and bring both of my dogs back here again.
