How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Hayward Veterinary Hospital
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.

Such a great place to take your pet for care. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Clean and well organized. Our cat loved it. Update. We brought our cat in, Candice was so warm and comforting with "Argus". She made him feel like he wasn't at all at a veterinary hospital. They took such great care of him! We are sold for life, we'll never go to any other vet!!

Today we had to put down our beloved dog Scott, and the team at Hayward Vet Hospital could not have been more amazing, gentle and understanding. These people truly don't care about money, they really want what's best for your dog. Truly the best team and the best vet I've experienced with our fur babies. Thank you guys from the bottom of our hearts.

Today I had to put my best friend down. I’ve been going to the same building since I was eight years old with my animals and and now My 71.the building I’m so happy I’ve come back to here. It had been closed for yard. The new Staff they are so compassionate, and so gentle with all pets, and very understanding what the owners are going through when we bring them in. I hope whoever reads this that you can put your trust in them like I have. They listens my wishes with the UP MOST RESPECT. Thank you Roberta Chew and her her Snickers!!

Dr. Harper and his team of incredibly talented staff provided my cat, Book and I, with excellent care. Furthermore everyone at the hospital provided something for Book each in their own way. Dr. Harper is intelligent, kind, creative, with a warm, helping personality. His team is no different as they exude the friendliness and concern we needed since Book is in his senior years at stage 2 of 4 renal failure at 15 years old. This can seem to be grim news, but that was not my experience. Everyone gave me the assurance that my buddy has more time to still enjoy a fulfilling life in spite of his body simply getting old and tired. Being able to walk away with confidence that, though little can be done, doesn't mean that it's awful or tragic. Book is reaching the end of his life, so Dr. Harper helped me with understanding his condition and needs. I was impressed with his ability to educate me about what's happening and it wasn't at all sad, pedantic, or complicated. He bridges the gap of being a talented doctor/scientist who can convey in simpler terms what I needed to hear and know. The vet techs were all equally as helpful and knowledgeable in their own way. The care we received was simply special and I walked away with the assurance that I could be present, active, and understanding of Book's needs moving forward and give him a good finale to hiz difficult life. I adopted him when he was 7 years old and had been turned over by his original owners due to animal behavior, along with being returned two more times by others who had adopted him. Needless to say, Book is special to me and I wanna make sure what he gets improves upon his past experience. You will receive such blessings by entrusting your pet's care to Hayward Animal Hospital. And if you're in the difficult place of last moments with your furry loves, they consider it a privilege to be able to help you in saying goodbye with peace and warm-hearted care. This is almost verbatim of what I heard a vet tech say to me when I inquired about how they "survive" being present in those moments. This is what you and your pets deserve and want. Full speed ahead and rock-on Hayward Animal Hospital... We salute you!

The whole staff is amazing. You get to stay with your dog while they exam, draw blood and give shots. We left a big hairy mess behind and they are kind about it. Our dog was sick and we needed help quick. They were attentive, patient and helpful. Helped us stay within our budget and advised us as though Remi was one of their own! We were very put off by our last vet (the Castro valley animal hospital) and I combed reviews and loved what I heard about HVH and it’s all true. Thank you HVH
