How to Save Money at Winichahanat Veterinary Care
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.

Dr. Hunt and his entire team is compassionate, professional, honest, caring, and downright amazing. They’ve helped me through cancer and surgeries and nasal surgeries fixing my dogs. I always taking less fortunate dogs, who need love and care, and usually have a fair amount of health problems when I get them he is always always been amazing to me, my wife and our pets, I can’t say enough good about him and his team a lot of vets I feel are about the money no matter what when I stop in most places cost minimum $500 that’s not the way it is with Dr. Hunt it’s more about making the dog healthy and it’s never more than I think it should be. I literally have recommended these amazing people to everyone. I know my whole family brings all their animals here And never go anywhere anywhere else my sister drives two hours each way to have her animals loved by Dr. Hunt and his entire team. We were blessed to find Dr. Hunt

The vet jumped to conclusions and handled a non situation as gigantic scene and came at me in an accusatory manner rather than professional approaching inquiring about a situation. I proceeded to explain the situation and suggested he watch cameras if they have any, so he can see nothing had happened as he was told or meant to believe by employees. We had good experiences originally but this unwarranted attack was rude, unprofessional and could have been avoided. The only one who was rude and unprofessional was the vet. Disappointing.

The one thing we miss about Dover? Our vet! We recently moved to Florida but still miss the staff. They were amazing with my reactive pit and my squirmy screaming chihuahua! They really are the absolute best in the area. My chi contracted Lyme (yes she had flea and tick meds) and Dr. Hunt cured her - honestly I didn’t know if she was going to make it - but she’s living the lap of luxury in the sun now !

We had our first visit with Dr. Hunt yesterday. I was very pleased with the visit overall. The office is very cute and cozy. The exam room looks like a mini living room with loveseat and all. The staff was very professional and sweet. I have had pets over the last 25 years and have seen numerous veterinarians and this by far has been the most pleasant experience. Dr. Hunt discovered that my dog was still suffering from a neck injury back in May that was not treated properly by another vet. I had no idea this was still a problem. My sweet Ginger is now on a course of medication and is expected to make a full recovery.

The staff and Dr Hunt are absolutely wonderful here! My Lincoln had an emergency and they got him right in as a new patient. I have nothing but great things to say about them!
