How to Save Money at HomeHeart Vets
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 cannot recommend this place enough. Krystal, the Care Coordinator who assisted me, was wonderful coordinating a time to put my sweet angel Riley down even when it was last minute. Even when I had to leave a message at their number early in the morning, I had assistance from another representative, Jasmine. Dr. Sharon and her assistant were so kind, comforting, and compassionate throughout the entire experience. She took her time to explain to us what was going to happen and let us say goodbye multiple times. As hard and devastating as it was to lose my best friend, I'm glad I had the love and support of everyone at HomeHeart Vets. You can tell they really care for you and your pet. I miss Riley so much but I know she's in a better place now thanks to them. May she rest in the sweetest peace.

We unfortunately have had to put down our dog Belle in December, and just a few months later, we had to put down our sweet Bailey. As difficult as both of these decisions were, HomeHeart Vets is the most sympathetic and caring company we could have chosen. Dr. Dana who came to our apartment both times in NYC was calm, sweet, and understanding during these challenging moments. We are extremely thankful for their support In our dogs' last moments. Do not hesitate to give them a call when it comes time for that hard decision.

Homeheart vets helped our wonderful Samoyed Quinn pass away in a relaxed and pain free manner. Sara was very comforting and took her time helped us through this difficult process. I recommend them highly.

The care and compassion was outstanding. I was able to be in my home with my 15.5 year old Irish Setter, and he was able to be comfortable and in a place he loved. Thank you will never be enough.

Dr. Samantha Shone was truly an angel sent from above… she was sweet, soft spoken, gentle, loving, compassionate and so kind to us and our beloved Lulu who passed away at 18 years of age on Saturday. She explained every step with such a gentle, soothing and caring tone. I’m so grateful that Dr. Shone entered our lives on April 23rd…It was the most difficult decision that I ever had to make but Dr. Shone eased my pain and anxiety by touching my baby in such a gentle and caring way. I held my baby in my arms as Dr. Shone stroked and soothed her…it was tranquil... My baby was ready to go….I couldn’t have asked for a more gentle and kind ending… Lulu lived a beautiful life and so richly deserved such a peaceful, gentle and pain free passing. Goodbye my Lulu, my angel…Mama loves you...Until we meet again 💔
