How to Save Money at Haw River 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.

Getting 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.

This is a wonderful veterinary practice. Dr Sizer was wonderful with both of my pets and really listened to my concerns. She was attentive, kind and thorough. She’s incredibly smart, knowledgeable and clearly cares about giving both the patient/pet and their caretaker a great experience during visits. The office was new and spotlessly clean. Susan was very welcoming and Carolyn was great with my kitties. Really happy I found this great practice. Don’t hesitate to book a visit. You will be in great hands.

Wonderful caring people. We went here because our current (now old) vet cancelled an appointment I had made days in advance. We had an elderly boxer (almost 14 yrs old) that was not doing well. We called Haw River Animal Hospital and they were able to get us in that day. The vet (Katie) was open and honest with us about our girls condition. They helped us to transition our beautiful girl to her next adventures. We liked them so much that we are now taking our other boxer and elderly (18 yr old) cat to them. We would highly recommend them to anyone. They have onsite labs for very quick turnarounds!

It has been a long time since I have felt really pleased with a vet visit. From the time I entered to waking out the door I felt my girl Boston puppy had great care and I was heard. I am being very careful on what I am giving to my girl and Dr Sizer was open for discussion and respected my decisions. I was not rushed and my girl was so comfortable she wanted to give kisses to all.

Dr. Sizer and her entire staff are WONDERFUL! They clearly love each pet as it was their own. We followed her from her previous vet hospital because we like and trust her THAT much and that hospital was GREAT too. Beautiful new facility. Easy to get in and out. She takes her time with your pet and does things right. Highly recommend!

We love the folks at Haw River Animal Hospital! We brought our new puppy for his first appt and everyone was so kind (to him and us humans). I really appreciated how they took the time to talk through everything from different vaccination options to when to neuter- no pressure one way or the other, but a great overview of the evidence for different options. I especially love that they do “happy visits” so that pups can have positive experiences at the vet! We took him for one already and dropped him off for 30 mins. He was a little nervous at first, but was all happy tail-wagging and playing when we picked him up! This will make his future visits so much less stressful for him!
