How to Save Money at Wellesley Animal 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.

We were sent to Wellesley AH for a procedure that our usual clinic didn't have availability for. My partner and I were blown away by the hospitality and care that they took with us and our senior pup. We felt she was kept comfortable and safe during and after the procedure and the staff doted on her (which she loves). They took extra precautions to accommodate her heart murmur while under anesthesia, which is always an area of anxiety for us. Thank you Dr. Ma and all the techs and office staff at Wellesley Animal Hospital!

I recently brought my cat to Wellesley Animal Hospital, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and approachable, making both my pet and me feel comfortable from the moment we walked in. The clinic was spotless, which immediately gave me confidence in the level of care they provide. What stood out the most was their transparency with pricing—everything was explained clearly, with no surprises. It’s evident that they truly care about animals and their well-being. I highly recommend Wellesley Animal Hospital to anyone looking for professional, compassionate care for their pets!

I'm a new patient to this clinic, I recently moved here and switched over from an amazing vet clinic. I decided to try this place because it’s very close by. It might be because I am comparing this clinic to my prior vet, but I would only describe the services here as adequate. I found the vet (Dr Liu) to be a bit dismissive and quick to leave the room. For a $155 (w tax) consult, I expect the vet to be willing to answer my questions and provide me with more detailed information on my cat. I was told by the vet that I was ready to go without anyone even telling me how to administer the medication or providing me with a syringe to administer it. Thankfully, there was a great vet technician who took the time to show me how to administer the medication and answered the questions that the doctor gave me one word responses to. In the end, the doctor did prescribe the correct medication and my cat has since healed, but this experience left me disappointed.

I been taking my dog for 1.5 years and The veterinarians are very professional. They take the time to explain treatments and procedures in a way that's easy to understand, ensuring I'm fully informed about my dog's health and wellness. I've entrusted them with everything from routine check-ups to emergency situations, and they've consistently provided the best care, advice, and support.The clinic itself is clean, well-organized, and equipped with modern medical technology.

Our 4 year old dog Kemba loves coming here!! Everyone is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The online communication emails we receive are fantastic. Appointment reminders and follow up emails are very much appreciated. It's so worth our one hour commute to get here (mainly due to traffic), as Kemba loves the car ride and looks forward to every visit 🙂
