How to Save Money at Exeter Veterinary Hospital
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.

My cat has been going to Exeter Vet for almost 17 years. She's an older kitty and has lived a happy and long live so far (a lot of thanks to the care and love the Exeter Vet has given her!). Big shout out to Dr. Basset. He's so kind and caring, especially with cats. He knows what he's talking about and really invests in making sure he's taking the right actions and precautions when it comes to understanding what her symptoms are (especially recently). He doesn't do anything that he's not confident about, and I actually think my cat enjoys going to the vet to see him! Highly recommend this practice.

Exeter Vet has incredible and dedicated staff. Our dog had kidney issues. They were responsive, peofessional, honesf, and compassionate. When his health started to fail, Dr. Bassett took my many calls and was such a positive figure during a tough time for my family. Each of the staff show marvelous passion for their patients. Highly recommend.

I have been going to Exeter Veterinary Hospital for my pets since I was a child...back when they made house calls for all our animals. I trust them completely with our pets and know they will tell me truthfully what is needed for treatment and they care for our pets like they are their own. I love all the veterinarians and vet techs in the practice. They truly care about animals and share in our grief when we had to say goodbye to a few of our fur babies over the years.

We started looking for a new vet about five years ago when our former vets affiliated with VCA and their prices got outrageous. A couple of friends strongly recommended Exeter and we have been very pleased with the choice. We have had positive experiences with all three vets on staff, most of all with Dr. Hill who cared for our beloved golden retriever when he was diagnosed with leukemia and eventually had to be euthanized. It was a painful process to go through but everyone there was incredibly compassionate and understanding.
