How to Save Money at Catawba Heights 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.
Reviews from Google
The staff is always kind and eager to help. My aging dog had a growth behind his eye and Dr Wallace removed all of the cancer. He has adapted and is doing so well now. He plays with the other dogs and is a happy boy. I'm so grateful. Thank you Kayla (vet tech) for your kind words and taking care of Romeo!

Services are pricey however what turned into a horrible experience at this clinic... was the fact that I took in my 15yr old Chihuahua for dental cleaning. (She had 8 to 10 teeth left) However, when I arrived to pick her up...she had no teeth at all!!! Around noon-time someone (Not the Dr.) called me to inform me that all went well and that my dog was fine. NO, SHE WASNT FINE AND THEY DIDNT PREPARE ME..I went in to get my dog and the poor baby was toothless and in a lot of pain! Time passed by (a year or 2) and I took her back. :( They proceeded to do lab work and next day I was informed that her lab work was clear. WAIT!!! ALL CLEAR???...I thought that the last time she had lab work done, SHE HAD HYPERTHYROIDISM!? So was her lab work mixed on this visit or on the previous??? I WILL NEVER KNOW! With all of these fine reviews on here, I can't help but to wonder WHY our experience was so different. :(

I had a review in here that was rather critical, and I need to change that., I stayed with this veterinary team, and I’m glad I did. They do care - deeply. I’m grateful for staying and giving them more of an opportunity to show who they are, and more importantly how they treat my pack and me as a customer. I trust them, with my dogs’ lives. I cannot overstate that, I trust them with my dogs’ lives. I am currently working with them on palatine care for my oldest who has cancer, and he is the reason I rescued the other 3 in mg pack. He also rescued me. They are loving on my pack like I would. This veterinary team has become an extension of my family. Highly recommend.

I love Dr. Wallace and the staff at Catawba Heights Animal hospital. I’ve been taking all of my family pets there for over 20 years. She is a great asset to the Belmont-Mt. Holly area. The best way to judge a vet and staff? A happy relaxed dog who loved the attention.
