How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Coastal Veterinary
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

Dr Fritz is in my opinion thd best Veterinarian around. He's been my dog doctor since my other dog got sick almost 15 yrs ago. He kept my pokey man alive for over a year. Now he's been my two cats vet until they passed at 18 & 23. Now he's been my baileys doctor since her birth 14 ago tomorrow. Thank you Doctor Fritz Mchugh, wife Amy and Staff.

I take all my animals here. The team is amazing. If you’re looking for someone you can trust & never need to worry this is your place ! I want to add to this — Dr Feldman took care of spice my Doberman last week. She was great! Spice is a big chicken Doberman she was abused for 5 years before coming to me. Dr. Feldman always gets on her level and Spice always responds happy to her. It’s rare that she is happy with people she doesn’t see everyday so THANK YOU!! Lastly, my family and I lost our first Doberman Phoebe (11) about two weeks ago. Dr. Fritz took care of her. He took care of her all 11 years. She had a lot of issues he always have options that made sense. We didn’t automatically do “the million dollar work up” (that’s what us nurses call it) for things that didn’t need it. My heart is still broken without my best friend. But I am so thankful for this office. They got her in right away, Lee stayed with myself and my sister and so did the doc! Writing this with tears in my eyes I know she was with her favorite people when she left us. Although we moved an hour away if I get another dog I will travel because that is how worth it this office is. LEE AMY DR FRITZ AND THE ENTIRE STAFF THANK YOU SO SO VERY MUCH!!!!!!

I learned of Coastal Vet from taking my family dogs here, and I made the decision to use them once I got my own dog. They are always extremely friendly, informative, and understanding. Their pharmacy window is extremely convenient. The option to text with questions and pharmacy refill is also very convenient & easy.

We had just recently moved to Toms River from Florida and needed a veterinarian for our two dogs. Dr. Mindy was excellent with our Penny. She spent an incredible amount of time with us discussing the issues, did some diagnostic testing and provided sound suggestions on how we can address her problem. I have never seen a vet so hands-on as I have with Dr. Mindy. Couldn’t be happier.
