How to Save Money at Hawk Ridge 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.

I have seen many vets over the years, between my own dogs and fostering. Hawk ridge animal hospital is hands down the best!! Everyone is so incredibly kind, and they all care about our animals as much as we do!We see Dr.Hunter McCann, she is amazing! I have never felt so comfortable with a vet before, I tend to ask a million questions and worry so much about my pups and they are all so patient with me. Knowing my dogs will have the absolute best care means the world. Thank you to ALL of you at Hawk ridge for everything you all do! We feel so incredibly lucky to have found you guys!

Hawk Ridge Animal Hospital, and Dr. McCann is the absolute best in town! Our sweet boy is very nervous of new places, but we've been going to this vet since they opened and he has always been very comfortable. They love on him and treat him so well. He recently had his teeth cleaned, and had to have 3 teeth extracted. The entire staff were professional during the entire experience and after. They cared for our boy, Marley, and they cared for us as his owners. Love love love this vet office!

We love going to see everyone at Hawk Ridge. We are always greeted immediately and taken right back to a room. They do so good allowing my daughter to participate as much as possible. It really is empowering for her. Dr. Bishop is phenomenal, and I always feel like all my questions and concerns are always addressed. Daisy loves coming for the peanut butter!

We love Hawk Ridge Animal Hospital! We have 3 large dogs, including one who has extreme fears of the vet, but also has severe allergy issues so is the one who sees the vet the most. Everyone at Hawk Ridge is amazing and I never worry about bringing Miss Annie there because everyone from the receptionists (Lisa and Cate) to the vet techs, and Dr. McCann and Dr. Bishop are the best and you can tell they all enjoy what they do and truly care about you and your pets. They all also very much respect how scared and nervous Annie is and are so patient with her. This means so much to me and eases my nervousness too. They also do great with our other two who are high energy and love to give kisses!

The HawkRidge Animal hospital staff was fantastic. My dog is somewhat of a problem patient, and vet visits are extremely difficult for him. He is a rescue with extreme fear. Dr Bishop was amazing , and knew exactly how to handle him. She discussed future visits and plans she would like to pursue with him, and gave me a great supplement recommendation. I was really impressed with her knowledge of my dog’s medical history and how she approaches animals with his difficulties. I think the world would be a better place, if human doctors were as efficient and attentive as Dr. Bishop. The vet technicians and receptionists were all great too. They were very empathetic and kind, and were a blessing to find. I highly recommend bringing your pet here. Thanks for taking care of TRexx HawkRidge , we appreciate you
