How to Save Money at New England Equine Medical & Surgical center

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.

Getting 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.

The care from the veterinarians are absolutely wonderful however office staff and the vets do not communicate together at all often leading to billing issues, medical issues, and scheduling issues The vets once again are absolutely wonderful. The front desk is absolutely kind, but the lack of communication between the two of them really leaves something to be desired.

We are so fortunate to have top notch doctors and staff here in New Hampshire. They have every resource at their fingertips and a caring team which makes them my go-to for specialized care for my horses. Thank you, NEEMC!

New England has been absolutely fantastic to work with. I sent my mature stallion in for a castration while I was out of state and Shannon made sure I knew how everything was going so I was worry free! I would absolutely recommend if you are looking for a team of experienced professionals to care for your equines!

Such an odd perspective from another reviewer ~ we have always had such professional experiences with NEE ! For over 11 years they have provided excellent care to our horses. From on farm calls to in hospital treatment, they have a wide range of abilities (IV medication, Ultrasound, Endoscopy etc). Dr Raynor made us feel like we were her only call of the day, taking all the time the horse needed (even though she had lots of other patients to see) and surprisingly took time to respond to owners who would ask her to “just check” their horse “while she was there”. Discussions about testing and cost were informative, science based and collaborative. We have seen several vet techs with them over the years, they were always professional, competent and kind to the horses. i have seen them manage difficult horses with skill. Office staff have been easy to communicate with. We are so lucky to have an equine vet with surgical skill so close at hand. Of course, there are always two sides to every horse story, too bad medical professionals can’t share theirs with the public. Thanks NEE ! Happy you are in the “neigh”borhood !!!

We took my appy Spud down for ongoing foot problems. He just kept getting abscesses. He has been nerved and there has just been no real soundness. We resorted to glue on shoes because of white line that was destroying his hoof wall. They took additional films, reviewed all of his prior records and it was determined that he has pedal osteitis. A farrier put klogg shoes on and doxy was prescribed. He is comfortable, and although I know we have a long road ahead of us, I know we'll get there. He is going back down in May for another set of shoes and xrays. To think this all started with a stick going up through his coffin bone in 2018. Thank you Dr Davis and your team for making my boy feel better.
