How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Hewitt 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

We absolutely love taking our fur babies here!!! The vet techs and Doctors are always so nice and helpful. The front staff could use some training but for the most part they are great.

We saw Dr. Postan and the staff at Hewitt Veterinary Hospital for 4 years with our elderly GSD mix. We couldn't have been happier with their care, and it topped all experiences we'd had in bigger cities like Austin. Our dog had chronic ear infections ever since we adopted him. While they never entirely stopped, Dr. Postan went above and beyond in figuring out care that would reduce the instances of infection and make him more comfortable. Speaking of comfortable, our dog actually liked this vet! Of course he was always a little nervous because he was at the doctor, but he adored the vet and vet techs and was pretty at ease around them. Another good thing about our experience is that Dr. Postan balanced recommending best of care with what would fit in our budget. If you've had a pet, you know the vets who recommend the most expensive tests, often to the point of excess. That wasn't our experience here. She helped us make decisions that would narrow down what was ailing him without breaking the bank. In other words, she'd recommend what was best for him, but wouldn't insist on the most expensive and invasive tests first. Those are sometimes unavoidable in the end, but I never felt we did it unnecessarily. When it was time to say goodbye to our dog, we brought him into the clinic. They have a special room for euthanasia; it's somewhat less clinical in feel than their exam rooms. They light a candle in the lobby to signal that someone is saying goodbye and to encourage silence. And, they handled our billing privately in the room so we didn't have to stop by the reception desk while sobbing. That demonstrated a great deal of kindness and understanding on their part that we appreciated a great deal. And, our dog loved them and was comfortable in his last moments, which is worth more than I can say. I'd highly recommend Hewitt Veterinary Hospital to anyone looking for quality care for their pets in the area. They're caring, conscientious, gentle, and patient.

Being an animal lover sometimes has its pitfalls, especially when one of your furry friends is injured. I can tell that the doctor and her staff truly love animals and don't just look at the practice as a job. Thank you all for your compassion.

This vet is just wonderful! They have helped us through so many things. From 3 cats with ringworm to a new puppy they show as much love an affection for my animals as if they were their own. Of course vets are always on the pricy side but they do what they can to help keep your costs to a minimum. Excellent staff and all around great animal lovers!
