How to Save Money at Highland 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.

A few weeks ago, my cat was very sick and tests showed his kidney values were too high to calculate. Dr Japheth promised he would do all he could to turn this grave situation around. Cooper was in the hospital for days and the Drs Barkman kept me updated daily, even over the weekend. Today, Cooper had his final follow up and he passed with flying colors. Dr Japheth stated Cooper is a miracle kitty. Dr Japheth, I absolutely agree, but it’s because you have the miracle of healing in your hands. I recommend, without hesitation, Highland Animal Hospital as my fur babies, for 10 years, have received stellar care from each and every doctor and team member. Thank you to all❣️

The staff here is so helpful and friendly! I misread their walk-in policy and they still accommodated me and had me seen same day. They were so sweet and gentle with my cat. Overall just an amazing experience and office

I don't think it's right to tell a elderly person that they have to be there before 4:30pm as a walk in and she didn't know her dog was going to be sick. I told the lady she needs to bring her dog to a different vet from now on. I know someone who stopped taking their animals to Highland animal hospital. They said that there animals get better care where she goes now.

(almost gave up after I left my info at Highland, but they called in less than 1/2 hr). In an emergency when every hospital told me 2- 3 week away to been seen, Highland saw my needs and accepted me (never knew I would cry so much for a cat). all the nonsense questions I asked they answered. Surgery was fast, right after Zappy showed improvement, now giving meds is always a fight with each day she getting more strong. LOL. (wait might be long but worth it. [understanding their are other clients being seen with love and compassion .])

I have been taking my dog to Highland Animal Hospital for 11 years. The doctors and staff do a great job of taking care of her needs. They are caring and compassionate. The ladies at the desk are wonderful. They are knowledgeable, helpful and friendly.
