How to Save Money at Foothills Veterinary Clinic

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.

We have been trusting Dr. Haberman and his staff to take care of our dogs. They have been there for us and our babies from puppy hood to when they crossed the rainbow bridge. We drive passed several vets to get to Dr. Haberman and Foothills because we want the best care and service possible. We know they will not let us down.

For 15 years we have trusted Foothills vet and Dr. Haberman to take care of our dogs. His diagnosis is always accurate and practical. Compared to other vets whose recommendations were complex and expensive. His research background means he is up to date on the latest developments. The staff is outstanding!

Dr Habermann was my vet for years until I moved to FL. He was BEST VETERINARIAN I EVER had with over 20 dogs and unknown cats. I called him from other states many times bc I didn’t trust anyone else! I have a dog w/ insulin resistant diabetes. Wish I could get back to Foothills Vet!!! H (Bagley)

Dr. Habermann is the best. We’ve been with him 15 years through Four poodles and a miniature Schnauzer. Theres never been an issue he didn’t resolve. Moreover, his staff is crackerjack. They are kind, efficient, unfailingly supportive; there’s not much turnover so they apparently like him as much as I do. Ibelieve he’s raised the bar perhaps impossibly high.
