How to Save Money at Appletree Pet Clinic
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.

Dr. Applebaum is the kindest, most caring vet I have ever encountered. He is thorough, knowledgeable and so caring. He takes his time, covers all the bases and he really cares about his patients. Highly recommend!!

Dr Applebaum is the best Vet I have ever had in my 40 years . He loves my 3 dogs and 2 cats as much as I do. If I have an issue with any of my pets, he is quick to answer my phone calls and put my nerves to ease. As he lives at the clinic, he is always available, even on his off days! If he is going to be out of town, there is always a referral to address any problems

We have been taking our furry boy from last 7 years. Dr. Applebaum is a minimalist doc, won't give medications unless needed. Honest advice each time. Am glad our breeder suggested him to us. They aren't open all 5 days but do reply promptly to voice messages. My dog loves his doctor.

Mark is absolutely the best vet we've ever had. He is so caring with our dogs and is extremely helpful when it comes to their care. One of my dogs gets very anxious in the vet and in the past he has had to take meds because it makes it easier for the vet, but not here. He is so calm and patient with him and truly and outstanding person. His staff is very friendly and helpful, would highly recommend.

Dr. Applebaum is awesome. He really cares for his patients and their families. They sent us a card when we had to put our dog down. He was also very thorough with our puppy. The staff are all great and helpful!
