How to Save Money at Veterinary Eye Center - Massachusetts
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.

1st visit to this center. As specialist care, definitely more costly than a general Veteran however the consultation was way more extensive. Poor guy has calcification and a small ulcer which likely occurred many months ago. Happy with my visit as well as a staff.

Very welcoming atmosphere. The facility is very clean and the employees are very welcoming as you walk in the door. I walked in at exactly my dogs appointment time and I was checked in and before I could sit down I was shown to our exam room. The staff treated my dog with compassion and care as she was invisibly uncomfortable being touched by strangers. They explained step by step what tests were being run and reasoning why. I ( fortunately) do not need to return for a follow up visit but if I had to I would do so with positivity rather than dreading it.

Our visit exceeded expectation. I felt comfortable with all the staff and techs. Everyone made me feel confident in the care our dog was receiving. Our dog was diagnosed with chronic dry eye, and requires eye drops and ointment. Within 3 days we have seen a great improvement in her eye. We will recommend Veterinary Eye Center in Newton to everyone who needs eye specialist.

Beautiful facility. Easy access and availability. Prompt service and very knowledgeable. Offered multiple solutions and detailed quotes. Not sure what normal pricing is for this specialty service but seems reasonable

Everybody in the office was so friendly and made me feel at ease! My dog was very nervous going in but the team was so amazing and sweet with him that he calmed down and even took treats. They answered all my questions and took the time to explain things to me, and I didn’t have to wait long for an appointment. Highly recommend!!!
