How to Save on Veterinary Costs at The Village Vet

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.

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.

I've lived in 3 countries and have had pets for the past 40 years and never had anyone come close to the compassion and knowledge of the staff at the Village Vet. So grateful to have their expertise and their kindness. Our "Mackie" had surgery last week and we were so impressed by the care he received.

I cannot say enough about the care and compassion every single person that works there has for animals. They go above and beyond and treat you like family. I have had other vets and never experienced anything like this doctor and her team. Thank you for taking care of Duchess in her last days. You all were amazing!

I love going there and more importantly both Tootsie and Gus love it there. They love the Vet tech Kris and especially Veterinarian Kristen Ruest, DVM. It is a very efficient and loving office to go to.

I brought my cat here last week for issues with his eyes. He's been doing great. The staff is very friendly and great with animals. Rooms are very clean. They were very quick to figure out what was wrong with Snow and treated him.
