How to Save Money at Heartstrings Pet Hospice, In-Home Euthanasia & Aftercare - Denver

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.

Getting 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.

Dr. Katie was absolutely phenomenal. Our cat Evie passed under Dr. Katie who was incredibly kind, professional, and compassionate. Thank you for helping us give her a peaceful goodbye.

Good morning Shawn, it's Brandon. I just wanted to reach out again and let you know that I picked up my girl, and I am absolutely blown away by how amazing your company is. From the very beginning to the very end, the level of care and attention to detail you provided was truly outstanding. Every step of the way, your team's dedication and compassion shone through, making a very difficult time a little more bearable. Your care for my girl was nothing short of extraordinary. The way you handled everything, from the initial consultation to the final arrangements, showed a remarkable level of professionalism and empathy. The attention to detail in every aspect was truly amazing. The personalized touches and the way you honored her memory left me deeply moved. I am incredibly grateful for your company's love, compassion, and support. Without Heartstrings Pet Hospice, I don't know what I would have done during this challenging time. You provided comfort and reassurance when I needed it the most, and I cannot thank you enough for accommodating us on such short notice. Please extend my heartfelt thanks to Dr. Williams as well. His care and kindness made a significant difference, and I truly appreciate everything he did for my girl. Thank you once again for everything. If I could give Heartstrings Pet Hospice a million stars, I would. You have my deepest gratitude and appreciation. Have a blessed weekend. 💔🌈🐶 Brandon Wilson

We've had many pets cross the rainbow bridge at our vet's office over the years. While our vet is amazing and compassionate --- we knew that for our most recent elderly pup, we wanted to do it at home. Our pup always hated the vet office, and we didn't want her last moments to be ones of fear in a place she hated. I was super skeptical of seeking outside help from our normal vet, as I'm extremely picky with our veterinary care ~team after having the luxury of a family friend for a vet before we moved out of state. From the moment I called Heartstrings, I knew I was talking to the right people. Their love and empathy for this extremely tender moment in a pet's life was immediately apparent. The vet who came to our house was professional, caring and treated our fur-baby as if she were his own. The vet explained what was going to happen, what to expect and that everything he did was at our speed. If we needed extra time between placing the catheter and the actual procedure, we could take it. We didn't feel rushed with our final moments. Even after she crossed the bridge, the vet continued to be of service to my family and did not rush out of our home. Once we were ready, the vet took care of taking her out of home for cremation. In the days to come, Heartstrings was communicative of where our girl was in the process, and when we would be receiving her ashes. They provided us with plenty of options for her remains --- ~there was certainly something for everyone's taste and how they wanted to memorialize their fur baby. I believe it takes a special sort of human being to come into this area of veterinary medicine. Unlike a "normal vet", they don't get the joyous moments of a family bringing in their new puppy or rescue and of nurturing an animal back to health. They don't get to build long-term relationships with their patients that give them a sense of community. These vets who work at Heartstrings are in a different league. They have dedicated their career to helping families make incredibly difficult decisions about their pet's life, help these beloved animals cross the rainbow bridge & then support the family left behind in their grief. It's clear that no matter the tough work that they do, they know what impact they have on these animals and families is important and they take that role seriously. I could not recommend Heartstrings enough.

My elderly German Shepherd became very sick and was in critical condition. Heartstrings sent the vet ASAP. Dr. Katie cried with me and helped me with everything. I am grateful.
