How to Save Money at Bree's 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.

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 have nothing but good things to say about this place. Dr. Roblejo saved my pup and removed a huge tumor from the side of her body. My primary vet from NJ could not do the surgery as it was risky and so I traveled to Philly for his service. Truly such a compassionate and excellent doctor. I am so grateful to have found this place. The vet tech was also so wonderful who looked out for my baby. You can tell that Dr. Roblejo and the vet techs who work here truly care about the well being of you pets. Whenever a friend or family member needs service for their pet I always recommend them here. There is a long wait time as they do not do appointments but trust me it is worth the wait.

The whole team (front desk, techs, nurses, and physicians) were wonderful. Our dog (20lb) terrier declined overnight and we were urgently looking for a office to see her ASAP. I called their team frantic, and the individual who answered the phone was so kind and told me to come in. The vet had diagnosed her and was able to do surgery same day. I received multiple calls that week just checking in to see how she's was doing. The clinic is walk in so depending on how many people came in that day, you may have to wait, but they are totally worth it. This clinic and team are an asset to the animal community!

Today I brought my 9 month old puppy to Brees Animal Hospital, and my faith in humanity has been restored by Dr.Rogul senior. First vet that I’ve encountered that’s experienced , knowledgeable, and concerned about your pet! I highly recommend bringing your pets to this hospital. He took his time conducting a thorough examination and asking lots of questions! As of today Dr. Rogul will become my puppy’s primary vet.

I woke up to a newly snaggletoothed cat, and needless to say I became a crazy cat mama because I could tell he was in pain. After frantically calling around to see which vets and urgent cares handled dental issues, I was fortunate enough to speak to Stephanie at the front desk. She patiently took the time to listen to what was wrong with Spaghetti, was transparent with me about cost and wait time, and even took the time to greet my sweet boy after she got caught up with a swarm of phone calls and paperwork. Spaghetti was cared for by Dr. Mark. I was a nervous cat mama when it turned out that they could remove the snaggletooth the same day but it would require anesthesia, but seeing Dr. Mark and his tech befriend Spaghetti helped put me at ease and reassure me that they were going to take good care of him. Sure enough, Spaghetti pulled through without issue, post-op instructions were clear, Dr. Mark was kindly available to help answer additional questions I had, and the sweetest part was that they even saved Spaghetti’s tooth for me in a baggie so I could put it under his pillow! I couldn’t have asked for a better turnout to a very stressful day. For a clinic that doesn’t require appointments, of course there is going to be a wait, and it’s important to keep in mind that that’s just the nature of urgent care clinics (even for human clinics where there ARE appointments!), so bring a charged phone or a book and be patient. I can tell you that the wait is well worth it, and it’s clear that although the staff is busy at the end of the day they have so much love for every animal that walks into the clinic. I would highly recommend Bree’s as they were so great to me and Spaghetti. Thank you SO much, Stephanie and Dr. Mark! 🐈❤️

I had to say goodbye to my best buddy for the last 13 years. Doctor and staff were extremely professional and caring. Though extremely difficult, it was a very peaceful experience.
