How to Save Money at Airmont 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.

We had to take our cat Cookie to the vet because she had dental problems and it caused her to have an infection. Dr. Ness was very knowledgeable and took care of our cats teeth. The price is very reasonable and her treatment was excellent. I would highly recommend this veterinary hospital ! 🐱

Dr. Ness and his staff are amazing. Prices are always reasonable and they truly care about your pet. I found them 2 years ago because of an emergency and have been going back ever since. Highly recommend.

Our pup has needed several emergency visits to address tick borne illness and to evaluate bacterial infection. Dr. Ness is thorough and cares for our pup as if he were his own. I trust him and his staff and they’re always responsive and caring. Thank you Dr. Ness and Team!

Dr. Ness & staff, Thank you so much for your time and attention these past few years with my senior dog Otis. I cannot recommend Dr. Ness enough. When Otis was diagnosed with a deadly tumor in 2020 Dr. Ness took the time to call me, answer or return every call I ever made to him, no matter the date and time and offered me compassionate guidance through it all. Otis lived longer than expected (15 months!) and just recently passed. It was sudden and our plan to have him go at home was not able to happen. We took him to Dr. Ness on New Years Eve and thankfully they were there and helped us with the most difficult thing we've ever had to do. We are bereft but grateful to this wonderful place for helping us send our baby to the rainbow bridge peacefully and respectfully. We miss you Dr. Ness and know when the time is right we will see you again.
