How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Ranch Heights Veterinary

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.

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.

Ranch Heights Veterinary is a new practice for Dr. Chad Maki, but he’s been my dog’s vet for a few years now. Aside from his new location being nice and new and sparkling clean, his office staff and technicians are all so helpful and pleasant. My dog loves Dr. Maki! He’s so gentle and kind with her. He also understands what my expectations are with regard to treatment options. I know he wants the very best for my dog, and cares about my concerns. *A bonus to this location is there’s a really fun market downstairs to check out while you wait, or visiting after your appointment 😁

Dr. Maki has been my dogs vet for a long time. He has just opened his practice in this new location. I of course followed him to this new location. Dr. Maki is an incredible vet. He is gentle with Parker and he listens to me and my concerns. He offers medical advice on what is a must for the current situation and suggests treatments to consider for the future. Dr. Maki actually sees all 5 of the dogs that are in our family and we all love him. The new clinic is amazing. There was so much thought that went into making it appealing to the owners and the pups. The office staff are so friendly and kind and so sweet. They really tried to help my anxious little guy be more relaxed. At the end of the visit he was treated with his first ever Pup Cup! He loved it, thinking he will love coming back.

Had an amazing experience taking my new puppy here. The office staff is very kind and the process was so efficient! I met with Dr. Rob Harner and he immediately put me at ease with all my new puppy questions. Very transparent, knowledgeable, and caring! Happy to be a new patient and continue my dog’s care here. Oh AND they have a pup cup bar! The attention to detail is 12/10!

Dr. Harner and his staff were very friendly and wonderful handling our sweet cat Furla during her 1st visit/physical exam. Our cat is known to be a bit spicy with strangers in general, but Dr. Harner knew exactly how to handle her personality type and I was surprised to see how well she took to him. Dr. Harner was very thorough in going over all details about her health and giving us advice on what he recommends. We are so pleased to have found this Vet and we look forward to making him our permanent provider for all our pets.
