How to Save Money at Uxbridge Equine Veterinary Services
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.

I can honestly and whole heartedly say Dr Watt and Katie are THEE best! My horse has had a few issues some being pretty big and they were there every step of the way. From coming out to my farm with in half and hr of my emergency call to calling twice a day to check up on my boy. Service like this is hard to come by these days and I would highly recommend UEV to take care of your furkids needs. Thank you Dr Watt and Katie for everything you have done for me and Dex even though he's a huge you know what and me being a newbie horse owner🤣

Only have had the horses for 7 months never needed a vet for them before, called in a emergency the horse tore his face and needed stitches and the vet would not come because he doesn't take patients on in a emergency situation a horse is a horse emergency or not as a vet it's suppose to be about the animal

We are clearly not Dr. Watts easiest clients. Dr. Watt has had to come out at 9:30 at night in a snow storm because our beloved mare had colic. On another occasion, Dr. Watt returned my daughter's call on Christmas night because the farm's goat was dying (99.9% more dead than alive) and she couldn't reach the owner. Dr. Watt is an equine vet but he was so kind to my daughter, I am still mortified that we had called him on Christmas day after hours. Dr. Watt is very gracious. Our horse breathes fire when she see any vet. Dr. Watt takes a very slow and patient approach. Our mare responds well to him. After writing this review/confession I'm not sure why he'd want us as clients. P.S. incase you noticed my username "Brown Creeper" is a type of Bird. I'm not a super villain with an agenda.

My experience with Uxbridge Equine was 5-star. My horse had to have surgery to remove a broken splint bone and Dr. Watt and Katie made sure I was informed every step of the way. The aftercare was very thorough and they were always willing to answer my questions (no matter how silly they were!) before and after the surgery. Being able to do the surgery at the barn meant that I didn't have to put my horse through the stress of taking him to a large equine hospital hours away. The surgery went really well and the incision site is barely visible. After rehabbing for 6 weeks, I have started working under saddle and things are going well. I cannot thank Uxbridge Equine enough for everything they did to help my horse feel better. Professional, knowledgeable, caring and attentive are some words that come to mind Thank you.
