How to Save Money at Noah's Ark 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.

Here comes a long review but worth the read. I came across them when my cat toast was having diarrhea, they were able to get me in asap. She's been great since. I also have a dog who's prone to uti's. I've been to other vets that are more pricey, can't get appointments fast and didn't really help with the recurring uti's. Here she came up with solutions and trials for me to do, antibiotics didn't kill my pockets like other places and they seem to care about animals there. I will say. It's a bit small and I don't like being there when someone has to say goodbye to their fur babies and seeing the body coming out the room. But overall a great gem vet who shows they care more about animals then making a buck.

Love this vet and her team! We drive from South Jersey just to bring our dog to Dr. Ronis for care. She has taken care of my whole family of pets. We trust her, bottom line. Thank you for all that you and your team do for our fur babies!

I always recommend this clinic to everyone. I had a recent ringworm scare with my Himilayan kitten, Conky. I used the vetco clinic for his shots until I could get in to a full service vet for a regular check up since getting him. The vetco vet mentioned her concern over the thinning hair on his ear (which I wasn't concerned about until SHE said something... then I was paranoid haha!). I've seen plenty of ringworm cases having worked in shelters previous to being a groomer for 15 years but I don't know what early stages of ringworm looks like so I immediately called Noah's Ark and was fit in next day. She was wonderful with my little guy (just as I remember her being) and she let me know that it was NOT ringworm and that he was a healthy himmie kitten. He was very comfortable with the vet and the tech that came in to say hi to my little cutie. Like I said before, I always recommend this place to my grooming clients or just anyone that asks me about vets to use. They're knowledgeable, caring and have fair prices. My little guy and my family appreciate you and thank you

Super caring, prompt, and much more affordable than others. They understood I couldn't catch my semi feral 7 mos old kitty for my appointment; whom I'm afraid has FIP that took her little sister. She said call back when you catch her. My daughter's friend's whole family goes there and loves them!
