How to Save Money at Vineyard Veterinary Clinic
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.

We were so grateful for the treatment of our Tess. She became ill and needed to be seen. The clinic saw Tess and gave medicine that helped her immensely. We know vet services are difficult on the island but we are so grateful that Tess could be seen and cared for in short order. And appreciated the doctor’s care of Tess. She responded to the medicine immediately. Thank you for caring for our elderly dog!!

Visited for a dog bite emergency, they cleaned my dog's wound and suggested that I take him to a pet hospital. I took him to the Veterinary Emergency Group in Newton for further treatment, suturing and prescriptions.

My dog went there most of his life. We moved for a while and now we are back. My dog has a tooth infection, he is 13 years old and needs care. They told me that since he hasn’t been there since 2016 he was considered a “new patient”, and they are not taking new patients. They proceeded to tell me that they had open slots if i wanted to bring him in on an emergency basis. The fee is 300$. I hate people who take advantage of others. How come they have time to see him on an emergency basis even though he is not having an emergency, but they don’t have time to see “new patients”? It’s clear why, they want to steal money from people who don’t have another choice since we are on an island. So sad..

The doctors and staff here are very kind. They are not our regular vet but were on call the weekend our dog became very sick. They took him right in and the doctor had the sad task of delivering bad news to us and putting our dog down. It was a terrible day but the doctor was so compassionate and sympathetic. He gave us piece of mind that we made the right decision. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Vineyard Veterinary Clinic.
