How to Save Money at Highland Hills Pet 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've had pets my whole life. Been to many vets. These guys rank up there with the best! From my old lady. Who passed out. I thought was dying. Grabbed her and rushed in. They were busy, but cared enough to look at her. And treat. To my old boy. Who, not even a week after I got out of hospital for my car roll over. Had reached the end of his line. Over the last few years. We had been working on keeping him pain free. They made his last moments as easy as possible. For all of us. Thank you 😢❤️

We’ve been seeing Dr Schwent for years. Once again, she was a miracle worker. Our dog, Ike was having digestion issues, along with diarrhea for a week. He wasn’t getting any better, so we finally decided that we needed to see Dr. Schwent. She knew exactly how to treat Ike and what medication to prescribe. Ike was finally able to sleep thru the night without waking us up to go potty. Thank you Dr. The following afternoon he had a normal bowel movement and was back to his old self. We wish we had gone in to see the Dr. sooner, next time. Thank you Dr. Schwent! You and your staff are the best!

My precious IG was very ill and we were treated very kindly. Every test result was explained so we could understand. We will be taking our other 3 dogs there.

I took my senior Boston Terrier in for a cyst removal. Dr. Marla Schwent and her staff took amazing care of him. She went above and beyond to explain all risks involved. She also informed me with extensive details regarding his health. The surgery was perfect, and unparalleled service when compared to any vet I’ve worked with. Thank you Highland Hills Pet Hospital!

Edit: response from the vet is inaccurate. The cat was seen and treated multiple times so their "investigation" was inaccurate. We've now had two bad experiences at this vet. I learned something new from a different vet which prompted me to leave a detailed review for one of our experiences. My son brought our cat here several times for what appeared to be an infection on the back of the cat, between his shoulder blades. The poor kitty had rubbed himself raw and had a bald spot. He was constantly trying to scratch the area. The vet kept prescribing antibiotics. My son bought the cat a sweater to try and protect the skin. This went on for years. We felt so sorry for the cat because he clearly was uncomfortable. A different vet quickly realized that it was his microchip causing the irritation. It makes perfect sense and the cat had surgery yesterday to have the chip removed. It's such a relief to know the cat is no longer suffering. It just seems that this vet didn't do the proper root cause analysis. I understand that diagnoses are often complicated and things can't always be easily figured out. However, we had the same bad experience for one of our dogs. He was a puppy at the time and was also misdiagnosed. In both cases, a lot of $$ was spent with zero resolution. Our pets weren't helped until we took them to a different practice.
