How to Save Money at Animal Care Center
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.

Charlotte is absolutely wonderful!! She takes such great care of our dog. He loves going to the vet- that has never been the case.

Although my appointment online didn't go through, the receptionists worked with me to ensure my canine got seen immediate that morning. Every staff member was so sweet and professional while we were there. Everyone communicated what the next steps are and when they'll leave or come back from the examination room. It was a great experience as a new patient at this location!

Had an amazing first time experience at the Animal Care Center, starting with the fact that they were able to fit my dog in for a same day appointment when she showed up limping and I couldn't ascertain the cause. Everyone was very kind and clearly animal people. Sheba cooperated, and she can sometimes be opinionated, so that spoke volumes. The vet, Dr. Capor, took her time and talked me through options. I would definitely recommend the Animal Care Center / Heart and Paw. Thanks to the great team!

Dr. Capor and staff are so welcoming and caring about the animal patients and the owners. I am thrilled to have found this practice. I have total confidence in the doctors and staff members. I have recommended Animal Care Center to a number of people with great pride. So many thanks for your dedication.

Prices were absolutely ridiculous for this year's visit. Unlike last last year, I was charged a fee for medical waste/biohazard disposal. The price for the office visit/annual exam was almost double what I paid last year, and the price for the vaccine was double what I paid last year. One reason for the two star rating is the vet was much friendlier than the vet/owner of the business last year. However, I was made to feel bad because I didn't opt for procedures I simply can't afford. The second reason for the two star rating is I was a little late for my cat's appointment, yet the staff didn't make me reschedule. I am going to have to find (if possible) a less expensive place to take my cat the next time he needs his vaccine(s).
