How to Save Money at Winchester Veterinary Group

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.

This was our first time at Winchester Veterinary Group, and we were very pleased. Our dog is over 15 years old and has a number of health issues. Dr. Ding was friendly to us and our dog. He got down on the floor with her to make her more comfortable, and midway through the exam, our dog was giving Dr. Ding kisses on his face. He took his time examining her and explaining his findings and treatment suggestions clearly. We felt very confident in his expertise and knowledge. Moreover, he built a great rapport with our dog and us. The staff at the hospital was friendly and informative. As promised, Dr. Ding called us the day after the appointment with results and next steps to take. Everything was done in a timely and respectful way. We are excited about the future with this veterinary hospital. Love the new location! It's much larger and has a surgeon on staff. We brought our puppy Felix there today. The staff is still friendly and gave us a puppy starter pack. Since we've been going to the new location, we have been seeing Dr. Doyle. She's wonderful! Very thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly towards us and Felix.

I rescued my cat from a shelter that did not take good care of her. She was used as a test subject as a kitten and now, at a young age, suffers from multiple chronic illnesses. Every single doctor, tech, and staff member at Winchester Vet Group has been absolutely incredible to both me and my cat. They have supported us through every complication, question, and concern with compassion and professionalism. What truly sets them apart is how they always keep my cat’s best interest at heart while also being mindful of my financial situation. It’s clear they are true animal lovers who genuinely care about their patients and the people who love them. I am beyond grateful for everything they have done for us, and I will never take my cat to another vet.

I deeply hope other senior pet parents read this review. My 14 year old dog came in for the first time this afternoon for a simple sterile urine sample. Upon his exam Dr. Doyle made note of him possibly having back pain. My senior boy is an old fragile dog. When they brought him back for a urine sample, they flipped him on his back to collect, which typically isn’t the gold standard. They lay dogs on their side. Dr. Doyle came back in the room and said that my dog “ Did not like being flipped on his back and freaked out and ran away”. After a conversation with Dr. Doyle, a couple hours later stating my dog was experiencing severe back pain to the point that he cannot get up on his own, Go upstairs on his own, And his mobility walking at the moment looks so painful. When I was speaking to Dr. Doyle, she said he flipped over rapidly once he was on his back, I asked them if he was being restrained during this time, and she said that he wasn’t meaning they weren’t making sure that he was safe and restrained in a good position where he wouldn’t hurt himself. Lacking basic knowledge on animal restraint especially with a fragile senior dog is incredibly disappointing. We will now be spending our weekend worried about our dog and likely bringing him to an emergency clinic to be seen.

Everyone at Winchester Vet Group is so nice and compassionate. Dr. Chase took the time to go over multiple options for helping to treat my pups arthritis. She explained the benefits/research on each option very well. Amazing staff!!
