How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Cape Cod 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
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

We had to rush Maya here after she ate something she was not supposed to. Ingrid, Dr. Karfunkel, Dr. Gu and everyone else involved treated Maya like she was their own pet. Maya was there due to my own carelessness and I never felt like I was being judged. They put me at ease and assured me that she would fully recover and be her sweet self soon. I was allowed to call anytime to check on her without feeling like I was bothering them. They are a very compassionate and knowledgeable bunch. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did both for myself and my Maya 🩷

My dog was seen at the Buzzards Bay site. All of the staff were polite, kind and professional, and the doctors were great. My dog got excellent care there. From the caring, welcoming front desk, to the vet nurses, to the surgeon, it was all exceptional. The doctor discussed with us trying the most conservative surgical plan for my dog, and we really appreciated that because a previous vet pushed us into drastic, fruitless surgery that caused a lifetime issue for my dog. I wouldn’t hesitate to take any of my dogs to the Buzzard’s Bay office if I needed to, and I would recommend them in a heartbeat. My sister informed me about the hospital and her experience was just as good. The doctors are among the best I have taken my dog to, and similar to a mother with her children, good care for our pets is of utmost importance. Thank you to everyone at this hospital !!! I only wish that my regular vet was this good. Thanks for truly caring, I will never forget this experience, that just couldn’t have been better.

Had to bring our pup in for a fish hook stuck in her tongue early on a Tuesday morning. Dr. Karfunkel & all of the nurses we interacted with were very kind, informative, and compassionate. Our Rosie was very nervous, but they made sure she got the best care & got the fish hook removed quickly! They made sure to thoroughly explain aftercare and answer all of our questions. We are so grateful for their help & care!🫶🏻

Dr. Sara and her team gave our Chihuahua Chloe exceptional care. I can’t say enough about how kind, patient, professional and caring they were. They also were extremely helpful stating any costs and expectations before any procedures were done. I would highly recommend them for any and all veterinary concerns.

Brought me and my fiancé’s cat Wuana here, staff was super friendly to him and also us, yes it may be a little pricey depending on whats going on obviously. Was able to call at anytime to get updates on him. Also was able to make a visit! They even put a little hat on him for cinco de Mayo! Definitely will (hopefully not) be coming back if needed. Worker Samm is super nice towards the animals and im sure everyone else is who isnt seen. He is doing amazing now!
