How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Newtown Veterinary Specialists

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

Consider pet insurance

My cat, Dash, was referred to this hospital from our regular vet after two days of not knowing what exactly was wrong with him - I called emergency hospitals in NJ, NY, CT, RI, and MA trying to figure out the best place to bring him and it was mutually agreed upon to bring him to Newtown. It was immensely stressful but within a few hours we had concrete answers and a plan of action including emergency surgery. While the cost was incredibly high, it was to be expected. The outcome: they saved Dash’s life. There’s not much more I can say. Very grateful for the hospitality of all working at this facility and the fast and honest work done to help my boy. Communication was great and I’m glad I decided to bring him to this hospital. Thank you!

We had to bring our 12 schnauzer on a Friday night as she was diagnosed with a significant abscess. The entire staff couldn't have been more professional and compassionate. Should you have the need, we would definitely recommend them. Thank you for taking such good care of our Stella. Appreciatively, The Tecl Family

So thankful to have such an amazing animal hospital nearby. Our Spitfire was able to get top notch diagnostics and hospital care for a couple of days during a bad pancreatitis flare. I think the entire staff made time to hang with Spitty during his stay! Everyone I met was warm, caring, and highly skilled. Thank you all again for helping our ❤️Kitty feel better at the end of his illness.

I brought my dearest feline love Smokey to Newtown Veterinary Specialists on an early Sunday morning. He was experiencing a medical emergency and needed care immediately. This was our first experience at this facility and unfortunately our last as my baby needed to be put to rest from this condition. I am writing this review because I am very grateful for the treatment I received as a pet owner and cat mama. The staff gave me continual updates on how Smokey was doing while I waited in the waiting room. The doctor was very kind and compassionate. She never once took her eyes off of me while I horrifically ugly cried through one of the most difficult decisions I've had to make in my life. The doctor was honest with me and told me exactly what to expect, which was a very unstable future, for my baby if I chose the chance of treatment. My baby was nearly 14 years old, he lived a very loving life, and we miss him dearly. Again, I thank God for the care of the pets and the owners in the times of distress. I highly recommend this facility for your honest and compassionate pet care needs.

Dr. Gabree and the support staff was amazing from start to finish. My dog, Charlie, suddenly collapsed in my car and they took him in right away to be assessed. I felt compassion from everyone the second I walked through the door; From reception, the technician, and the doctor. I’m confident that everyone genuinely cared about my dogs condition in my time of extreme panic. Highly recommend this amazing ER practice! Thank you guys for taking such good care of my little boy ❤️
