How to Save Money at Horizon Pet Care
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.

They (Alex the vet and the vet techs) were wonderful. After examining Myles Alex took time to explain what treatment they did for Myles and when I didn't completely understand all the terminology he drew me a picture of where the body parts were (gall bladder etc.) so I could understand what they did. Would highly recommend them.

I have had animals of all kinds for nearly four decades and with that comes regular veterinary care. Over that time I have lived in different regions of the US and known and worked with many vets both personally and professionally. Dr. Stevens is the best vet I have ever had the privilege to know. Her knowledge is extensive, but more than that, she is humble enough to ask when she doesn't have the answer. I trust her implicitly when I drop my animals off for procedures because I know she cares about them as much as I do. That trust is earned in every interaction I have with her. She answers all my questions when we have appointments and never makes me feel like I'm taking too much of her time...even when I am. Her explanations are thorough and well thought out and she is willing to discuss all treatment possibilities if issues ever arise. She is exceptional in a world filled with mediocre.

We cannot say enough about Horizon Pet Care and it’s staff! We were in from out of town and our dog had a rough night with not feeling well. We called in the morning on a Saturday and the staff worked to fit us in. Dr. Bosch was amazing and answered all of our questions and gave us great insight to ease our minds. Thank you all again for helping us and our dog.

The doctors and staff, including reception, really care for their patients and the patients family. Dr. Steven's and Dr. Rogen were wonderful as I dealt with the DM journey with my girl Riley. And now they are ther for my next adventure with my girl Lily. Great staff!
