How to Save Money at Kenneth Haynes
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.

First off, if you are looking for a cheap Vet, this is not the place. This Vet really is about service and quality of facilities and care. I have never waited over 15 minutes to be seen, and they have always taken good care of our animals (both Dogs and Cats). We have had a couple unique issues (bladder problems) and they were able to diagnose and treat the condition. So far (knock on wood) we have not had any issues since beginning the treatment. We had one emergency happen at midnight, called in and got an on-call vet, everything taken care of and saved a stray's life. They never once diminished the life of the cat simply because he was a stray. That cat is still alive and in a loving home, with great owners, who are giving them the proper care it needs. Kudos to the entire team, you earned my business.

Pricy, but worth every penny. By no means am I rich, but I don't weigh my dog's health with money. I have a 10 month old Yellow Lab, and they are so patient with me and her. She's a big crazy dog, and I am pretty nuts when it comes to her, but they really take their time, make sure all of my questions are answered. They don't try to oversell you on stuff you don't need, they just give you what is really best for your dog. When we got our lab fixed, they were so good... Giving us calls with updates, really good quoting an accurate time and price, making sure she was fine, etc. That night, I was so worried about her it was just crazy. She was much too high energy, and sure enough, she jumped too much and ripped it. They had a doctor on call really late at night who assured me things were fine, and when we brought her in the next day, they got her right in and had a vet look at it. They assured us again that she was fine, and sure enough, 6 months later she is a healthy, happy pup. We got a another puppy, and within 15 hours she came down with some scary sickness. When we took her in, they immediately knew what was going on. The receptionist took one look at her and took us into a room. A vet came in very shortly thereafter, and ten minutes after that she came in with the diagnosis. Parvo. She is the only surviving puppy of her litter so far. She is actually in there right now, hopefully she's going to pull through. They call two or three times a day with updates, and allow me to go in and see her. They are very helpful and nice, and so patient with me. I'm a very distressed owner and they always calm me down. I love Dana Park!!!!

I have been using the services of Dana Park Veterinary Hospital for many years (dare I say decades). I have talked to most of the medical staff both inside and outside of the practice. I have found them to be courteous, professional, sincere and caring. I would feel very comfortable recommending them to someone I know personally.

Took our 5 pound Yorkie to the groomer at Dana Park vet. Nicole does a good job.

I don't even know where to begin. Our dog Molly developed an auto immune disease in Feb from unknown causes. Dr. Haynes was very intelligible about what was going on and was very considerate of our budget, understanding that I am a full time student, and my wife being the lone income. Without Dr. Haynes' dedication and love for animals, we would have been unable to help Molly more than we could. This certain case was uncurable. Not because of lack of trying on the practices part, Molly was just in a hurry to get to the dog park in the sky. When Molly passed on March 28, it seemed everyone who worked there mourned, and that is a trait I find admirable. That emotion distinguishes a veterinarian and family, and I feel like through this, I've gained a family. Dana Park; I cannot thank everyone there enough for all the compassion you've shown my family and Molly. God bless.
