How to Save Money at Veterinary Clinic at the Humane Society of Huron Valley
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.

We love taking our fur babies here! We both have had pets our whole childhoods but now we live alone and have a puppy AND a kitten and HSHV Vet clinic has been great for us! We were worried about being able to afford good, quality care for our babies but HSHV has been affordable and extremely upfront about all of the costs, even for our pug who had to have a stenotic nares surgery. It's very comforting knowing we are not sacrificing the quality of care for the price. They have also been extremely diligent in taking the time to answer all of our questions and make sure we leave understanding everything that was talking about during our appointments as well as offering extra tips for things like nail clipping and teeth brushing at home.

Very caring and competent vets AND staff. I've never had a less than 10/10 experience here, and my last visit was no exception. I got an appointment sooner than I expected because I was able to fill a cancelled appointment slot. This was lucky because, BOY, they're busy!! Often you need to leave a message for them to return your call because they get too busy to take incoming calls. The only negative about my last visit was a long wait (I was seen at my appointed time but I waited 30 minutes to see the vet after the vet technician/assistant was finished); however I cannot downgrade for this. It just means they're busy, because they're popular, because they're excellent. And they were kind enough to give me a courtesy discount due to the longer wait. The vet addressed all my concerns, was thorough (and gentle!) with the exam, and the results from tests came back at the promised time, too. One oddity I will mention: the scale in the exam room I was in (room "C") behaved inconsistently, and I don't think an accurate weight was recorded for my pet. First it registered something wildly wrong (over 20 pounds for my 14- to 15-lb cat) and then even when the tech thought she had it corrected, it was still off by at least two pounds. Not an issue for my visit, but until it's checked out I hope that scale isn't used to determine dosage of any pet's medication, for obvious reasons.

Everything went as planned. Staff was friendly and respectful. They took good care of our cat for spay surgery. Explained in detail the post operative instructions. Very nice people. Cost was affordable. Passionate care.

This visit was the fastest, most efficient visit we have experienced from making the appointment, to having 3 dogs heart wormed tested. The testing was completed in less than 15 minutes. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. The low cost is especially helpful when you have 3 dogs and 3 cats to feed and vet bills. I have already recommended this clinic to all my friends. I requested the results of the dogs tests and they were sent to my email in minutes. Highly recommended!!! 10+++

This is by far the nicest and cleanest humane society facility I have ever been to. I made an appointment to have my cats neutered here after not being able to find an appointment anyplace else. The staff was friendly and professional, check-in and check-out went very smoothly. If they were near my home I would be using them for all my pets’ veterinary care. Highly recommend!
