How to Save Money at Sandwich Animal Hospital
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.

Best vet in New Hampshire! I cannot put into words how thankful we are for Dr. Adrian and Dr. Kacey. The gals at the desk always so nice and helpful as well! This group is something special! Both Dr. Cloutiers are incredibly smart, kind, and excellent with our fur babies. They have worked tirelessly to come up with ways of solving the issues of our special needs pups. On one occasion, they truly saved the life of our Maple girl. Meagan was so kind and monitored her throughout her stay at the clinic and always greats Maple with extra love when we come back in. We live 2 hours from the clinic but will always happily make the drive! This place is truly the best!

I had a small emergency with my little girl. They took her right in. To me that's very important. They are so friendly. I do love this place. Young doctors. My last doctor was at retirement age. So I'm so happy I found the Sandwich Animal Hospital.

Our sweetheart Elsa had a decline over a few weeks and we were unable to get her into our vet for 6 weeks and other vets local to us were not accepting new clients; and after a change over the course of a day even the local veterinary urgent care was "at capacity" and was unable to see her. My husband grew up with Adrien and I asked if he could poke him for advice because we were told she probably just needed fluids and would turn around very quickly. My desperate self was willing to wing it myself but as a nurse self wanted to know the likelihood of compounding a kidney issue without really knowing if that was the issue (because I really have no idea how much cats and humans overlap). I really just wanted an opinion but Adrien had my husband bring her down. There isn't a happy ending, as we had believed that she was much younger than she was and although the writing was on the wall from day 1, Adrien took care of her for the week to try and turn her around. I greatly appreciate that as I wasn't in a place to accept the fact that she wasn't coming home, and it helped keep her comfortable as my 8 year old processed that she was losing her best friend. When we had to say goodbye, Adrien even entertained my 4 year old as we got our last snuggles in. I would gladly drive over an hour and half to get care here. I greatly appreciate not being rushed and even the manner in which he physically handled her shows the level of compassion and empathy he possesses for the animals he cares for.

We have had dog care at SAH through the transition from Dr Julie to the Drs. Cloutier. Great care. No fancy stuff. Just right for us.
