How to Save Money at Exeter Veterinary 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.

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.

I want to take a few minutes to explain how wonderful they have been at this Veterinary Hospital. My dog is 10 years old, she’s a Yorkshire and I have another 6 month old little poppy. Throughout this time, the doctors, especially Dr. A. Kline, have always been professional, kind, friendly, and humane. I love this place for my pets, it is the best!! The truth is that they have always received us ASAP - if possible, on the same day - even if the doctor and all the Staff leaves very late "after the usual time", they make an appointment and receive us. 🙏🏻 The office staff is courteous and very patient. The place is very clean and every time I wait to be received, I see everyone cleaning some space of the Hospital, “all the time”, it smells clean. I congratulate the owner of this Hospital and I hope that all the staff receive the same quality of work with a wonderful and humane attitude. I also want to add that each time the doctors look first for the health of the animal and not for the cost and price to make money in the business. (Diagnostic Evaluation cost $89) For x-rays $200 approximately, and the cost of the surgeries varies. People who have pets know that veterinarians are very expensive and the attention and quality of your pet is "terrible". In this place, in each of my visits, they will first provide the best way for our pets to be healthy. I feel grateful to have them. And I bless each and every one of the workers of this place. I congratulate you and thank you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Please continue in the same way.

This place is the best. We had a Shepard that every vet we had gone to seemed to be afraid of him. Not Dr. K. She is the best. Now we have 3 Danes and we won't go anywhere else. They are also a bit easier on the wallet than other places.

My baby Chili (reptile) needed to see a vet asap. Exeter was the only one willing to take him in soon and treated us with much kindness. The doctors took great care of him and gave me very useful information. Cannot thank the staff enough!

I’m not normally a complainer and try to work cooperatively with others. The doctor treating our six month old puppy seems to be expert, but the front desk recordkeeping has been a problem. This has happened more than once, causing some inconvenience for us and scheduling appointments. Initially, someone forgot to record the rabies vaccine. Somehow the doctor remembered it and it was corrected. Then we scheduled for neutering and The staff did not record the changed appointment date. I would have reluctantly put up with that inconvenience, but the staff berating me For complaining about this mixup was too much. Very rude person.
