How to Save Money at Sacopee Veterinary Clinic
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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.
Reviews from Google
The vet techs are great. I was pleased with how fast we were in and out. Also, their pricing is a breath of fresh air. I decided to switch vets after a decline in service from my vet of 7+ years.

The best description of the care provided by Dr. Gilliland & his entire staff is EXCELLENT! The clinic is always very clean. They are very thorough in explaining our three babies care and procedures even the costs. We couldn't be happier. Very grateful we found them. Our babies - Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Australian Shepherd & Golden Retriever also say thank you Sacopee Vet.🐾🐾🐾

So happy with the care given to my pup Truman today! We feared the worst from a hurt paw (torn ACL? fracture? Bad sprain?), and he hadn't been in for a physical in quite a while. A next day appointment was available, which was so appreciated. The tech immediately suggested testing for tick-borne diseases, and sure enough that was the cause of his limp--Lyme and anaplasmosis despite regular topical flea and tick medications. No wasted money on x-rays or unnecessary tests, no attempts to upsell, and no judgment for not being as "on top" of his vet visits as I should be. Dr Gilliland and the 2 vet techs were personable, kind, professional, and I couldn't be happier. Meds are pricier than similar human doses (I'm an RN so I know these things haha) but apparently that's true everywhere for pet medications. The fee for the physical was very fair and reasonable. Wonderful, wonderful job, folks!

I’ve been bringing my pets here since 2000. I’ve said goodbye to beloved pets, and begun the first visit with new pets, here at Sacopee Veterinary Clinic. They are a great knowledgeable, caring, place to bring your precious pets.

Because of remodeling our first visit with our new puppy was outside. One of the girls came out and took our info and our puppy. Once they were done the Vet came out and talked to us to give his report and answer any questions. He also gave me the name of a good source for supplements to get for my home made meals. The girls came out and gave us our goodie bag and took payment. Everyone was was very pleasant , welcoming and helpful. Look forward to our next visit.
