How to Save Money at Allentown Animal Care

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.

Allentown Animal Care has been absolutely wonderful with my super anxious, over protective dog, Shiloh. He’s always been a nervous pup, especially in new environments, but the team here handled him with so much patience and compassion during his follow-up care after a dog attack. They removed his stitches and checked to make sure he was healing properly, and the whole experience was as smooth and stress-free as it could have been. They took their time, spoke to him gently, and made sure both he and I were comfortable every step of the way. It’s clear that they truly care about the animals they treat—not just physically, but emotionally too. I’m so grateful for the care they gave Shiloh and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone, especially if you have a pet who needs a little extra TLC.

We have had all our dogs seen at AAC and we only have great things to say. I really love the new location. Everything is really clean, staff is so friendly, calm ,patient and understanding. We lost both our furbabies within 10 years and now we are starting over with our puppy Maisie. They were so sweet with her. Even got her nails trimmed and given peanut butter while she had her shot given!!!☺️

We have a rescue bunny named Baby Girl, because she's a girl. Dutch Rabbit is her breed. She's having some callouses build up on the pads of her hand and foot. The vets and their staff are so good and patient with her. She's a little spicy girl, but hasn't bit anyone yet. The prices are reasonable and the hours are good.

Dr. Dan is incredible! I bring my rabbit to him for a teeth trimming once a month and he's in and out. Dr. Dan is wonderful with him and all of the staff is extremely friendly. Very reasonably priced as well ♥️ UPDATE. I've been bringing my rabbit, Peter Cottontail, here for a little over a year and I still stand by what I wrote! Incredible staff and I highly recommend them for all of the fur babies ❤️
