How to Save Money at Brewster 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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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 been a loving parent of my two doggie patients of the Brewster Veterinary Hospital for over 10 years. My yellow lab, Koufax, is now 13 and living large, thanks to Dr. Kaiser and his outstanding staff! And, my chocolate lab, Coco, at age 7 continues to live life with joy & vigor. The expert care and loving kindness is truly the culture here - and it makes all the difference. The doctors and staff do for our pets what they would do for their own.

I love the whole Brewster Vet squad. Every single person there is kind, smart and highly capable. I have been with Dr Kaser for , oh my goodness, almost 30 years, back in the day, until now and onward. His crew of Vets are outstanding and I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else. This time around Minnow is the new kid on the block. They love him and treat him with much sweetness and professionalism.

My shih-tzu, Miss Brewster, loves everyone at the Brewster Veterinary Hospital. She is always so excited to see everyone when we pull into the parking lot. Thank you for making her feel welcome.

On the first night of our vacation, our 2 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback started having diarrhea. After seeing that the bland diet was not working, and she started vomiting, we knew she had to be seen. We called the only 24/7 hospital on the Cape, which was 40 minutes away, and were told that there was a minimum 6-8 hour wait. We called 2 other regular vets who could not fit her in for 5-6 days. We called Brewster Vet Hospital, and they got her in within 2 hours. (Someone must have given up their lunch to do so! Thank you!) Our dog tends to be nervous, but to my surprise, the vets techs (Josh & Hannah-discharge) and Dr Barrett, quickly developed a rapport with her and she walked out of the room with them. (Frankly, I was shocked and happy!) Dr Barrett quickly assessed her and gave us a choice of a Supportive or Diagnostic route. We felt completely comfortable with her recommendations and level of care provided. I can’t express my gratitude for them fitting our dog in so quickly and showing such compassion and professionalism. Obviously, I highly recommend them!
