How to Save Money at Heritage Animal Hospital Inc

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.

This should be 0 stars. Our dog is diabetic and blind. We have been going here for a long time. When we took her in for her annual shots they took her in the back out of site as usual and when they brought her back in and I handed her to my wife she yelped loudly! She is a Min Pen and every once in awhile limped. After we got her back into the room after her shots she has limped ever since. Now she is going to have to go through surgery to put her knee cap back in place. What raised my attention was the fact that they said she gave them a real hard time when they cleaned her ears. I didn't think anything about it at the time but now I'm doubting they didn't dislocate her knee cap when they were trying to hold her. We took her back for a glucose check and when I said I was going back with her it surprised the girl but she was very nice about it. The second time is after I had made the surgery appointment (at a different place) and when a different assistant came out to get her for her glucose level she was very rude and made comments like if you're going come back with her you will need to make a different type of appointment. I explained what had happened and I didn't want to leave her out of my site. I told them then that I would call after we had everything taken care of on the surgery to check her glucose level again. After my wife called and made an appointment she was called back and they refused to see my dog because the Dr. refused services to us. This should not be tolerated in a business like this. I never once accused them of dislocating our dog's knee cap but I guess I should have. If you care about your pet "DO NOT TAKE THEM TO THIS PLACE OF BUSINESS"!!! They are a money gouging and unethical business in my opinion. I never once was able to talk to the Vet "Pat" about any of this. Our pets should not be taken out of site to do procedures unless it's a necessity. Doing a glucose check is not a big deal, it's less than 2 minutes to do. This business is trash! My dog is the world to me, obviously not to this low life business.

I've been taking our pets here all my life, they've always been extremely kind and compassionate to our family. Dr Pat especially did her best to give our cat Tibbers a few more months with us as his health was failing, and she was there at the end providing the best care one could ask for. I really can't say enough good about the Heritage North Team

I am very disappointed in our recent visit. We were quoted a range for the procedure and then were charged more than the original quote. I'm not happy with the diagnosis either. We had to bring our girl back in again when she was not getting better after antibiotics were prescribed. After pushing them to keep looking, she found out she had an infection missed by the first visiting Dr. This place used to be good when they first opened, now we will be looking for a new vet. Will not recommend them to anyone I come in contact with.

The pricing is a bit higher (at the top end of national averages), for all procedures, testing, medication, etc that we’ve done over the years. We have used their clinics for around 20 yr. Additionally, they assess additional fees. Tech fees, haz mat fees if your puppy piddles, etc… That being said, I’d say it’s a personal decision to go or stay with the same veterinary clinic.

Had minor emergency with my fur baby over the weekend. Brought her here. They were gentle and kind, also did such a wonderful job treating her injury.
