How to Save Money at Superstition 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.

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Heffelman! He is absolutely amazing with my three dogs and really takes the time to know each of them personally. It’s so comforting to see that he remembers all the little details, even if it’s been a while since our last visit. The staff is also incredibly friendly, which makes a big difference, especially when you're worried about your pets’ health. Thank you, Dr. Heffelman and staff, for loving my fur babies and taking such wonderful care of them! You all are the best!

The staff is caring and professional. Dr. Heffelman is a great veterinarian. He saved the life of the rescue dog we adopted. Turned out the dog had a massive heartworm infection. The doctor saved her life through his careful treatment, making sure she tolerated each procedure, which can be dangerous, before doing the next treatment. Today our dog is healthy and happy.

Dr Heffleman is very caring and knowledgeable. Whenever one of my equine clients calls to ask if I can help with their dog or cat, I send them to Dr Heffleman. All of my pets have been seeing him since he started at Superstition Animal Hospital and we think he is the best!

My Dog had bad diarrhea for 4 days and I was worried he may have ingested a toy. They got me in promptly. I was told it was most likely he got into something but I still wanted x-rays because I was so worried it was a chew toy my dog ate that was along the same time as the symptoms. Possible blockage. The Vet reassured me that it likely wasn’t that and trying to give x rays to my dog would be traumatic (my pup is very afraid). I was astounded that he told me this and was comforted. I’ve had other issues with past pets and asked for x rays and never been told no, and in hindsight it wasn’t necessary just for my peace of mind. No matter, I paid the bill. They were willing to charge me instead of explaining everything was okay and if something worse happens to call back. I don’t go to the vet often. Maybe twice a year for emergency so a Vet willing to explain and calm me as a dog mom to save some money was a win. Please come here!

The staff are good but the vet is super, he helped save our foster (fail) pup and showed generally cared! The backup vet is amazing as well! Don't let his young age fool you, he knows his stuff and both vets love pets! I'll miss the Saturday option times, but glad the Dr. H and his staff have the chance to have their weekends. He isn't the cheapest vet in town, but he is worth ever dime in my option! He helped get our Gracie healthy after we found her on a reservation, dumped off to die! Need a vet, try Dr. H, you will be glad you did!
