How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Bonded Hearts Veterinary Care
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

The staff and Dr Cooley at bonded hearts are super knowledgeable, professional and loving. I currently own a retired racing greyhound, multiple sport dogs and a service dog and I would trust Dr Cooley with all of them. She has so far treated both my American hairless and my performance/service dog whippet . It’s SO nice to finally have a trustworthy place in this area for my spoiled dogs.

We started taking our cat to Dr. Cooley over two years ago when she was at a different office and fell in love with how well she cared for us and for her. We then started taking our dog to her as well. Our cat had some long standing issues and Dr. Cooley did a fantastic job helping her extend her life for the past 2 years. She recently opened her own place, Bonded Hearts, and we followed her to it. It is well worth the 1 hour round trip drive out to see her, Sarah, and Paula. Sadly, we lost our cat this past week and the team at Bonded Hearts was there with us every step of the way. Alice, our cat, lived out the last 2 of her 14 years in our family as happy as she could be under the care of Dr. Cooley. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us through these past couple weeks and are patients for life with Dr. Cooley. The care we have received has been second to none. I challenge you to find a more caring, friendly vet anywhere in the Birmingham area, but I guarantee you won’t!

Dr.Cooley, Sarah and Paula are the literal best and I couldn't recommend this place more. We always feel so welcome as soon as we walk in and Dr.Cooley is very very knowledgeable. She explains everything in detail what she is doing or what she recommends, which as a helicopter cat dad is very important 😂 I highly recommend Bonded Hearts! You won't be let down!!

Could not be MORE excited the amazing Dr Cooley has opened her OWN integrative (holistic & traditional) practice! SO glad she decided to call Birmingham home & even more excited she’s opened Bonded Hearts!! She has provided my 15 & 13yr old English & Llewellin Setters with acupuncture & chiropractic for the last couple years - it has made such an obvious difference in their overall health, vitality & range of motion - there is NOTHING better than to be able to physically watch your dog heavy sigh & let go of pain during the visit. It is amazing all the things acupuncture can treat (not just mobility!) Dr Cooley is not my regular vet (but if I ever lose mine, she will be!) but that has never stopped her from checking EVERY inch of my dogs on EVERY visit & calling any concerns she sees/feels to my attention. Most vets (esp ones you only see for specialist care) would NEVER take the time to do that - heck, you are lucky your regular vet does it! She is also trained in TCM herbs, which is & can be just as effective as pharmaceuticals, but safer & gentler on the body. In addition, the clinic & exam rooms are really fantastic - so full of light, yet so quiet & calming…..and Dr Cooley is extremely open & responsive to any questions you ask or concerns you have. If you aren’t happy with your regular vet, or are looking for supplemental support that WILL make a difference (& a vet who’ll get in the floor with your animal!) I HIGHLY recommend giving Bonded Hearts a try!! Sarah & Paula are fantastic, too!!

I cannot say enough about Dr. Cooley and the amazing staff! We have had three pets there, two have crossed the rainbow bridge and we could not have made it without Dr. Cooley and Paula! Alexander, our cat had a rare stomach issue she snatched him back from and he, and my former lab have received acupuncture. The treatment is nothing short of a miracle! This place is the BEST!!!
