How to Save Money at Harborside Mobile 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.

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.

Dr. Hawkins and her techs are awesome. Best vet ever! I would give Harborside 6 stars if I could. Dr. Hawkins always responds to my texts/calls and takes great care of all my cats! She has made diagnoses with a routine yearly exam that have literally saved my cats' lives. I've had many vets over the years, but Dr. Hawkins and her staff are incredible.

Dr Hawkins and Lee are truly amazing people. We recently had them come over to our house because our 16 1/2 year old cat was sick and we could not take her to our regular vet. Our regular vet recommended Dr. Hawkins. Dr. Hawkins was able to see her immediately unfortunately her heart condition was too severe and we were not able to save her. It was the first time we had met Lee and Dr. Hawkins but after spending only 3 days with them we felt like we knew them forever. Their compassion and dedication to their job is amazing. When it was time to say goodbye to our Mitzi Dr. Hawkins made us feel at ease and we knew we were making the right decision. It was so calm and peaceful. The truck is amazing we were able to have X-rays done and she even had Andi come to the house with a portable ultra sound. Dr. Hawkins' prices were comparable to any vet you would go to in the area. Wish we met them under better circumstances. Thank you Dr Hawkins and Lee for giving us 3 extra days with Mitzi we can't thank you enough. If you need a new vet or just can't take your pet in a car call Dr. Hawkins she is truly amazing.

I hesitate to rate, because they currently aren't accepting new clients, and should they start doing so again, I have a line of my own friends and clients waiting 😄 But it's only fair to give Doc Hawkins and Lee their due. Our crew of kitties would be miserable (and less healthy) without them. I only wish they could be cloned!

We found Harbor Side after our dog had a bad stomach flare up. She diagnosed him quickly. It was our second opinion, but I felt that she was best at describing what was wrong. We decided to stay with her as a vet. She has diagnosed Beau whenever he has needed something. She even did dental surgery at the house! She parks her truck and you don't have to go anywhere. Beau LOVES her! Last visit he kept giving "high five" every time she said he was healthy! My husband wanted a vet from Cornell and I will say she is the most knowledgeable vet! She answers pretty quick once you are a regular patient. We didn't know Beau got car sick on car rides until we took a trip a month after we got him. So the mobile vet is great because he doesn't have to go on a trip! I highly recommend Dr. Hawkins! Thank you to both Jocelyn and Lee for helping Beau stay healthy!

Dr. Hawkins and her team are superb. They have been taking care of my furbaby Shadow (15 yrs, long hair domestic) for over five years. He is happy, healthy kitty with the help of Dr. Hawkins. I appreciate Harborside price rates being reasonable and getting an appt. is fast. They are dependable all while treating your furbaby like family. Thank you everyone at Harborside Mobile Veterinary Clinic.
