How to Save Money at Hurley Area Animal Hospital Inc.
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.

The Kandi and the staff was wonderful to deal with, even with curbside drop off. I felt i was able to ask all my questions and have everything taken care of in a timely manner and best of all when i got the bill i was surprised in a good way. I was able to schedule my cats appointments quickly and even his follow up ones.

Called to see if they thought I should bring my dog in for an emergency vet visit and the receptionist or vet tech that answered was unbearably rude. Cut me off multiple times while trying to explain what was wrong and then said they wouldn't take her anyway because or patient record was four years old and wouldn't renew it so then she said call another vet and hung up on me.

We wouldn't take our furbabies anywhere else! They love going to HAAH! Quality care by quality and qualified people that care!

I have had some wonderful experiences here and one that left me a little disappointed. I LOVE them for my animals routine visits, check ups etc. When our family had a pet emergency and we were told there was no time I was a bit disheartened by that. We were told we needed to drive 45 minutes away to see a vet while our pet was having seizures. There seemed to be very little concern about an emergency. I can only hope we (or anyone else around here) doesn't have too many pet emergencies. The staff is always wonderful when we visit. They are amazing with pets and people. Just be prepared to have a backup plan in case of emergency.

Called for an emergency for our dog who probably has hemmoragic gastronteritis. They would not take him today even though its an emergency because they do not accept new patients. They dont care about your animals or mine. Recommend you stay away from Hurley Clinic at all costs.
