How to Save Money at Woodside Pet 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 just moved to the neighborhood and had our first visit yesterday at Woodside Pet Hospital! My dachshund, Charles, went in for an exam, bloodwork, anal gland expression, and nail trim as well as a medication refill. They brought us into a room immediately and the vet came in 5 minutes later. He was well read on Charlie’s medical history and asked all the right questions. Very efficient, very knowledgeable, very caring. And I was in shock by how much less this cost compared to the vets we saw in Philadelphia! I definitely expected it to be way more being we are in NY now. Overall, a quality veterinarian with a caring crew that made my Charles feel welcome. I highly recommend Woodside Pet Hospital.

Dr.Zemana and Nancy took care of my dog who had passed. I also started taking my new puppy there. They are the best vet I’ve ever came across to. Very caring and extremely accommodating. They know exactly what’s wrong with my dog if not they recommend tests in order to know what’s wrong. My dog always immediately feels better after going. They also give referrals if it’s something serious like for surgery. Best vet ever! Would highly recommend.

5 stars all across the board for this team. Dr. Zemana is the best, communicates every little detail of your pet's care, very thorough in his exams, and most of all, compassionate and accommodating to your pet's needs as well as yours, as a pet parent. Miss Nancy took care of our little Miss Muffin like a family. They are quite far from where we live, but would not hesitate to travel the distance to get the best care for our little one. Would recommend this place over and over. Thank you Woodside Pet Team, you are the best!!

I love the service! Dr Zemana is very knowledgeable and knows his way around with dogs and cats. I’m glad I took my pet here. My dog got treated for his ear infection here, got all better. I highly recommend this place to anybody else.
