How to Save Money at Mars Hill 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.

Recently our dog Oscar stepped on something and cut one of his pads. Dr Wellman was very thorough and kind in treating him and she gave us confidence that he would be ok. I love the doctors and staff at Mars Hill. They have been our vets for 11 years and I look forward to many many more. They treat our furry friends like the family that they are.

I am so happy that I found Mars Hill Animal Hospital. Some of the nicest people who care about your pets and their well being. I take my dog and my parents dog here. I recommend Mars Hill to anyone who needs a trusted vet and groomer. Sharon is the bomb! She creates magic when grooming my pets and they come out like new dogs. 😊

I cannot say enough good things! We called our regular vet and they could not see my girl for two days. My daughter insisted that I call MHAH, and I am so thankful. They told us to immediately bring her! She was given a thorough exam, without unnecessary extras that would drive the bill higher. Our girl was given medication immediately that had her feeling better by that evening. The next day, they called to check on her! It may be a little bit of a drive, but we have found the place where my fur babies will go for care.

Dr. Gross, has taken care of my dogs, and cats, for 38 years...yes, you read that correctly...38 years. I have Basenjis which I exhibited for almost 35 years, it was during that time that I started bringing my dogs to Dr. Gross. Over the years he, and his staff have treated my dogs and cats with the greatest of professionalism and compassion. My loyalty to Dr. Gross comes not just from a client/vet relationship but I had the pleasure of working with him when he was with the Monroe Vet Clinic back in the mid 80's. I worked in the front office and personally observed his interaction with his clients on a daily basis. Dr. Gross takes a personal interest in each of his patients and their owners. His staff reflects the standard of quality he holds himself to. Kind, courteous, caring, compassionate...they treat each client, and their pets, like family and do their best to make your, and your pet's, experience as pleasant as possible. Dr. Gross is also a highly skilled surgeon who, except on rare occasion, is the only vet to do any surgical procedure on my pets. I personally recommend Mars Hill Animal Hospital if you are looking for quality, and a veterinarian, and staff, who will go the extra mile to ensure the health and happiness of your pet. I would not make the 40 minute, one way, drive to take any of my pets, one of which has to go once each month, to Mars Hill Animal Hospital if I didn't.

We had an emergency with one of our small dogs the week we moved into town. I looked up the closest vet and was so glad we wound up at Mars Hill Animal Hospital. They took her right away and called just a few hours later with some possible answers. I picked her up with some prescriptions and she was good as new within 48 hours. The staff were compassionate, kind, professional, and even called to follow up the next day to make sure she was doing okay. Thank you so much!!!
