How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Taunton Cat Hospital
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.

Lauren and Dr. Fitzgerald were great. I have a very anxious cat, who has never had medical care. There was no shame or belittling they were happy to just start her care and come up with a plan to make sure she is healthy. The exam rooms and waiting areas are designed to keep your cat at ease. Although the care was pricey- it was a thorough visit and I was consented and informed of prices, risks and benefits before proceeding with any treatment. Padmè got free snacks the entire time and they kept her very comfortable, and did only what she allowed! Thank you 💗

I would recommend this vet! Unfortunately, my boy was 13 years old and very sick. I had brought him to Swansea ER vet twice previously within the prior 2 weeks. They essentially gave him a very grim diagnosis, but wanted more tests to the tune of $3k. When I took him to Taunton, he was critically ill, they agreed that it was his time. No BS, no additional tests, or more $, was going to change that. As sad as this was for us, they were honest and compassionate to both myself and my dying cat. They took care of everything. They even sent us card after with messages from the entire staff and his paw print. I will absolutely bring my next kitty there from day one. I'm not there yet, but they will 100% be my vet when I am.

I've been bringing my cats to Taunton Cat Hospital for 30+ years. It was great when Donna was there. It's horrible now. I have a very old cat who's been sick for close to a year. She has had numerous expensive tests and prescribed several medications, none of which did anything to help her. But, that's not really the issue. I've had many appointments with my cat. Every time I bring her in, I get a new tech (they call themselves nurses now!), who asks me about the cat's history. It's in the chart!!! Why do I have to reiterate everything, every time I have a new appointment? I made the TECH look it up last time. So, now, my poor baby is getting worse and I think the best thing for her is to be put to sleep. I called and was given two very short-notice appointments (one this afternoon, and one tomorrow morning). I couldn't do either one of those and I asked for the next week. I was told the next appointment available was October. OCTOBER!!! seriously?!! I am DONE, DONE, DONE with this vet. I honestly think I've hung on so long because of how much I loved it when Donna was there, and made myself believe it was still the best... it's not. Also, because it is close to my house. But, no more, I will find a new place.

Extremely caring and thorough office! My cat has never done great with vets in the past but has no problems and is super friendly here! They always take the time to answer all my questions, appointments never feel rushed and they always are able to see my Kitty in a timely manner. Calls to check in, can’t thank them enough!

The staff here is amazing! Have been here for years with many different cats. Was in recently to put down my 14 year old cat Olivia. They made an incredibly painful and emotionally difficult process so much more comfortable. Will always recommend everyone bring their cats here.
