How to Save Money at Oswego Veterinary 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.

Getting 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 recently divorced, moved, and got a new puppy. My former vet of over 10 years informed me I would have to go on a waiting list as a new client and would unlikely to get in when shots were due. The woman was not very nice about it. I was appalled and very angry. Oswego Vet Hospital seemed delighted by my call, got me in right away, and adore Mimsey. I’ve had dogs all of my adult life- and I’m now retired - and never had a dog that would bound into the vet office and try to sneak into the back! They’ve taken such great care of both of us - I’ll never switch again. Thank you OVH!

The first red flag is they have a lot of available appointments and accepting new clients as this has become rare when trying to find a vet. When I made my appointment I had to pay upfront for the visit and was never told I would still be charged if the appointment was missed. I did show up for my appointment and notified them I was there. When I went to get my dog out of my car, he wasn't there! He managed to escape and by the time I luckily found him the vet was closed and had to go to an emergency vet clinic. I called them back to schedule a follow up from the emergency visit and they refused to apply my initial payment, they said they are keeping that money and will charge me again for another visit. There demeneier which originally was nice, turned unsympathetic and cold. Amy was unprofessional and rude. The office manager Jesse reached out to me and she said "it's not our fault".. The office staff sets the tone for the clinic, and because of how they displayed such lack of care, and made the decision that it was more important to keep $90 dollars then invest in a long term new client I no longer felt comfortable bringing my dog there.

My dog and I have had really excellent experiences at Oswego Vet. Drs. Tongue and McLanathan have both taken care of her and have helped her with surgeries and medication. In all of my experiences the doctors and vet techs have treated us both with kindness and conscientiousness, even when one of us was having a panic attack under the seat (your guess as to whether it was me or my dog). This is the place to take your furry family members.

Our 15 y/o cat was terminally ill and had to be put down. I didn’t want his long time Vet/staff who’d developed a relationship with him to have to do it so a friend recommended Oswego Vet. Dr. Naomi and her assistant were so respectful and kind and came to our home to make it less stressful for all of us. The treatment was humane and gentle. A few days later, Dr. Naomi sent a handwritten sympathy card with his (ink) paw prints. And then they sent separate card to say that a tree had been donated in his honor to the Arbor Day foundation. I’m so moved and grateful and can’t say enough good things about this practice. They made a horrible decision more bearable. I’m so pleased that there’s a little tree out there with GIR’s name on it😭🖤

We’re very grateful for the great care and kindness of this vet. It’s hard to even find a vet appointment, but they made time to see our 🐹 next business day. They treated her like the precious being that she was. They were so considerate of us and facilitated a peaceful passage for our littlest friend.
