How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Sakonnet Veterinary Hospital
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.
Compare prescription pricing
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.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

I have been taking my pets to Sakonnet Vets for a very long time. It's good to have a platform now to say how wonderful they are. The Doctor's and staff are knowledgeable and very compassionate. The are also very prompt to get you anything you need. I know when I need to take my pets to Sakonnet that they are in good hands. I won't go anywhere else.

Our family has had wonderful experiences with Sakonnet Veterinary Hospital. They are thorough in their examinations and provide clear explanations to any questions we have. The Doctors and Techs are patient and kind with both us and our pups. We highly recommend this practice.

DO NOT TRUST YOUR BELOVED PET WITH THIS PRACTICE. They are poorly managed and have horendous customer support. They have left my dog in a very vulnerable state. Today, my Golden and I showed up for our yearly appointment and was told we had the wrong appointment date. Not believing me, I asked them to come out to the parking lot so I could show them the email confirmation face to face. (Their very outdated 2020 Covid policies are still in place, where the vet tech retrieves your dog from your car and then the vet treats your pet while you wait in the parking lot. Despite being a year long patient, I have never even met the vet.) Only after seeing the email proof, was the vet tech willing to discuss rescheduling sooner than 3 months out. She explained that they rescheduled the appointment and called me. I never received a call. Because there was no vet on duty, they were unwilling to give us necessary oral flea and tick preventative; more importantly, our Golden's rabies and other vaccines are now out of date for our upcoming cross country road trip in two days. They have caused our Golden to go untreated and travel unsafely, until we can find a competent vet and practice. STAY CLEAR OF THIS PRACTICE.

Update! - I called yesterday 4/19/23 to speak to the practice manager she was not in. I left my contact information and did not receive a call today. I decided to call today 3/20/23 after 3:00pm and spoke to her. She seemed more upset that I posted a review before I spoke to her over the phone or in person. The phone call did not end in a pleasant manner. I would have deleted the review had she let us come in for a simple X-ray on my next day off. And have the doctor call me with the results in a timely manner with an action plan. Instead we decided to be terminated as a client of the practice. I will say I did receive the patient record via email rather quickly (After I reviewed their paperwork I had on file and noticed they had an incorrect email on file). Original review below: Very Disappointed in the service we received today. I waited 20 minutes in the parking lot after checking in to find out the appointment wouldn’t be handled as it was scheduled to be. I booked an appointment for an X-ray which was recommended by the Doctor at my dogs physical and shots. We get to the appointment and they won’t do the X-ray because our dogs physical was 2 months ago. They also stated there wasn’t a Vet to review the X-ray and it couldn’t be done. I go in after checking in on the phone and I see the doctor sitting in the hallway in her white lab coat. I guess they were Hot up for money to require another physical. We will be finding a new vet. Don’t book appointments and not follow through with them. Dog owners work too!
