How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Saucier Veterinary 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.

The veterinarian is a caring professional, when you actually got to talk to her, which was rare for me. My furry feline companion of 14 years was a patient here for a few years and, except for the long wait times, I didn't have any concerns up until the last visit in May. I brought her in on a Monday morning due to very alarming symptoms which occurred over the weekend (suddenly stopped eating & drinking, stopped meowing, completely withdrew). This was a drop-in visit and I know or understand that the staff is overwhelmed with animals; I would not have brought her if I was not truly concerned. I wound up leaving her there and not picking her up until after hours, which was when I was contacted to do so. I will not go into all the details of my dissatisfaction with this visit, but I felt that this was a big inconvenience for the staff and it seemed that my concerns were minimized during my initial interaction with the 1st technician (my cat had also just recently been diagnosed with a medical condition and placed on medication for the treatment of this. She was not quite due for her follow up check up for this). The interactions thereafter were cold, lacking warmth or concern, even when I called to check on her (I attributed this to them being very busy/overwhelmed). When I picked her up, another technician gave me a brief ‘run down’ of what was done but did not really provide information about what could have caused these specific symptoms until I asked about it (also not before I was immediately given the bill by the person behind the counter as soon as I walked in). The technician then stated that she had a “terrible” infection in her back teeth with “pus coming out" (well no wonder!). She was prescribed an antibiotic for this and she did recover, thankfully. She was also placed on a medication for slightly elevated blood sugar level, but she wound up having a scary hypoglycemic episode a few days later, on a Sunday, so I stopped giving her that medication. There was no warning or heads up regarding the possibility of this happening, and (when I had picked her up from the clinic) I was told to follow up in two months. Her blood sugar was just checked at another veterinarian clinic and it is normal, so it could have been caused from stress and/or the infection at that time. This is one of the few places who take drop ins and are open on Saturdays. I know (or hope) that many people who bring their pets in for an unscheduled sick visit here will not feel this way about their visit/experience, and I suspect that it is at least in part because my cat has become very difficult for them to handle- requiring sedation the last couple of visits. I am grateful for the care she received while she was a patient there, and certainly do not want to make anyone’s job more difficult. In hindsight I probably should have taken her to the emergency 24/7 clinic, I thought I was doing the best thing for her because they always showed concern in the past. A pet parent knows when it is time to find another provider and our visit to the new clinic in Lyman went exceptionally well, thank the Lord-- with little wait time for my very anxious kitty.

Saucier Vet has taken care of my furbabies for many years and have always been professional, compassionate and caring! They've worked with me when I had hard times financially and something came up with one of my pets by letting me set up a payment plan. Thank God. And just over all a great Veterinary Hospital.
