How to Save Money at Colebrook 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.

We recently had to put our sweet senior fur baby down. Dr. Kelly has been amazing with his care. She made the process of putting him down that much easier because I know how much she loves her patients. I am so happy I found a vet that loved my dog as much as I did.

Excellent caring dr. Excellent staff property was new construction clean! I do feel my dog will be well in a few weeks, I feel pretty confident about that.

Everyone is different, my experience with Dr Kelly when my Bijoux bit a hornet and got stung in his mouth, I called Dr Kelly for help. Note, it was during the pandemic AND it was very short notice. Dr Kelly had me go in shortly after during lunch; not only did she disturb her lunch but she also took care of my Bijoux. I wish people would share their good experiences and not only their negative. Great job Dr Kelly!

I have nothing but good things to say about my experience here. I had an emergency situation with my 17 year old dog and Dr. Kelly went above and beyond and made herself available outside of normal business hours for me. She was extremely knowledgeable, answered all of the questions I had and made me feel like she actually cared (not like it is just a numbers game like with other vets I have been to). I will definitely be seeing Dr. Kelly for all of my other pets as well. I couldn't be happier with her care and I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for an excellent vet.

I really wanted to love this vet because I believe in the importance of supporting small businesses where you live… but sadly I was not at all happy. The vet does not allow you to come into the building. I went there with my twelve week old puppy and I had zero interaction with the actual vet and absolutely no instructions or assessment on how our dog is doing. The very sweet vet tech came out to my car and got him and within minutes he was back in the car. A vet should interact with the caregivers of her patients. I now drive over and hour to get to the vets and I have friends in the area that drive even further because they won’t go to her practice. I really wish she would allow the owners of animals in the building to participate in their animals care, maybe then I would be able to build a relationship with the vet and trust her to care for our puppy Sincerely Dr Lisa Bechok
