How to Save Money at Caring Hearts Animal Clinic
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 LOVE THIS PLACE! Good reviews and recommendations is what made me go to this vet and so here I am writing my own. I am a first time dog mom to my little fur baby Brody who is the light of my life. He is the pickiest most human like dog i’ve ever met and Caring Hearts Animal Clinic has been nothing but fantastic when dealing with my Brody. First off the girls at the front desk are the best, they are compassionate and understanding when it comes to all the emotions that can come with having a fur baby who is a little complicated. I’ve had my fair share of vet visits and have never been disappointed with the outcomes. I love how quick they are to respond to the text messages and how understanding they are when it comes to Brody. I love the options they go over when I take him to the vet, I never feel like they’re "selling" anything to me. I feel like they are so knowledgeable about what’s going on and truly look at all the options to make sure we handle what’s going on with my dog the best way. Dr.Shaffer is who we see and she is amazing, she is a great listener and is so smart when it comes to my picky dog. When he got neutered I admit I was a little emotional dropping him off but whoever the girl was who came to come get him from me was so kind and compassionate and was just caring. The employees here definitely represent the "Caring hearts" name very well. I love this place, they have definitely earned a forever client and now that we’ve introduced a new fur baby Chico to the family he will be getting seen here as well. So grateful for the doctors and the girls at the front desk and all the help they’ve given us.

Can’t rave enough about this place! It’s the gem of vets in the Mesa/Gilbert area. We have had several pets over the years that we have brought to Caring Hearts! We’ve always had Dr. Hayley Schafer as our preferred veterinarian. She always takes her time and is very detailed in her examinations. We brought our new puppy in for her first exam, vaccinations and spay consultation. She found that she had an umbilical hernia and a mild skin infection that went undetected by myself. We brought her in for a spay today and she was able to repair her hernia at the same time. Which saved us money and an additional surgery. The front and back office team treat your pets like one of their own and you can tell that they truly care about them.

My senior cat MC was acting strange and I began to worry. I called Caring Hearts and explained what was going on and that I didn’t know what to do. I get anxious about going to the vet but they let me drop him off that same day. Everyone in the office was so kind and Dr. Montes was so great and informative and eased my anxiety about going to the vet. My poor guy had a double ear infection but he was in such good hands at Caring Hearts. Also it was so affordable. I will continue to go here and bring my other cat also. I can’t thank you enough for caring for MC.

I brought my 12 year old dog in because she’s been slowing down and needed a thorough exam. She’s always been super fearful of the vet’s office and the whole staff was really wonderful about it. They were patient and kind and sweet to her even though she was completely worked up. They found out some concerning things going on with her and have quickly booked me in to see the cardiologist (less than a week after finding out my dog needed to see one). I have zero complaints. Follow up care/getting questions answered has been easy. You can text them if you need anything, and they also reached out to follow up and see how she’s doing.

Our Veterinarian Hayley Schafer was awesome!! Our female labrador retriever had a lump in her stomach area. Hayley confirmed that it was a fatty lypoma. Not a big deal unless it starts growing alot bigger. She was very thorough and answered all our questions. I'm so glad caring hearts was recommended to us by a friend of mine.
