How to Save Money at Dighton Rehoboth Animal Hospital, Inc
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.

Don’t know if it’s the dr age he is getting impatient with his patients. The last two times I have been there were not good at all. The other staff is wonderful. So sweet to everyone that walks in. The dr however is not a kind/nice man at all. I won’t get into everything that was said. The second time I went I brought my husband and as we left he said we will never step foot in this place again. He is the owner unfortunately, so it won’t get better just be aware. Do your homework. Read all the review. I actually feel bad for the staff to deal with his attitude constantly.

Went in on July 13th for routine checkup. Our girl Cora needless to say does not particularly care for the Vet. She is the sweetest cat in the world, but anytime we have ever had to bring her for a checkup, she turns into a Cat monster. Hissing, spitting, and just ferocious so the team @ DR Animal Hospital recommended that she be put under a light anesthesia for her visit to make it more comfortable for everyone. I think its fair to say that any good pet owner gets worried whenever their animal is unhappy, distressed and would do anything to make their animal not feel that. The team did everything by the books. I've been to other animal hospitals that do a terrible job with the whole empathy thing. When we dropped her off, we left knowing that she is in great hands! The best part is how they handled our visit when time to settle up. We were having an issue with our CareCredit card as we have not used it in a long time and had a new card that we never did activate. After calling Care Credit, they informed us that DR AH could look up our account. With a little hard work from Mackenzie and the rest of the team, we were able to get the problem resolved and use our CareCredit card with 6 months of no interest! I wish I knew any of the other Vet's names, but there were good vibes on every single part of the Visit! Highly recommend and our other buddy Dawson will be by in a few days for his checkup as well!!! Customer for life!! Thanks to DR Animal Hospital and their staff

The dr/ owner is the major problem here. We brought our 14 cocker spaniel in that his back legs gave out. He wasn't walking and you can tell he was in pain. After the "what's going on with him " it was you know he's obese.....why? Granted it's not healthy but not the right time. He is about 35 lbs. The people that have dealt with him knows how he can be. Seems like he can turn it off and on when he wants. No people skills or empathy. Just cold, told us he has a mass that needs to be ultrasound and basically go find a place that does it. No referrals or recommendations. I don't want this to go on and on and the staff that is there are great but let's just say we will never step one foot in this place again. Also 91.00 for a 10 min office visit. I know everything has gone up but I thought that was kind of high. Paid an extra 26.00 for meds.

This facility is a great place for providing the care your dog or cat needs I have been taking my dog cal here for a few years now and if it wasn't for these guys my dog would have gone undetected with a heart murmur and heart disease so we believe it's at an early stage and have cal on medication and prayers. So now we have our newest family member hope a male cat.

Dr. Bruzzi came recommended to me by another patient of his. I live 35 minutes away but made the trip. My dog has terminal colon cancer and my previous vet suggested two options- surgery that was incredibly expensive and I couldn't afford it or make my pet comfortable for death. Dr. Bruzzi is easy going but also professional. He was able to do the surgery for 1/2 the cost that I was given by previous vet. He made no false promises on outcome but laid out my different options and let me choose. He debulked the tumor and it extended my dogs life, happily, going on 2 years now. He was originally given months. Though we are nearing the end now, the countless memories given to my family over these 2 years with Cosby because of a talented affordable veterinarian, is priceless. Dr. Bruzzi & his staff are very friendly, honest & reliable. They have great hours, emergency care and they care about your pets. Totally worth the trip. Thank you Dr. Bruzzi!! You're a very special human.
