How to Save Money at Animal Medical Center of Healdsburg
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.

Great vet in Healdsburg. We are very pleased with Dr. Yohler and his wife Ann and the entire staff. Our Corgi puppies, Abby and Ace will go to them for all thier dog and pet needs. I highly recommend them. Peggy Black 8/15/23 Update::: We just had Abby and Ace visit Dr. Yohler, Ann, and the staff at Healdsburg Medical Center for thier 1 year check up. I have to say I'm so pleased my family goes to this vet for thier care. I love how thorough everyone is with all our questions and above all how kind they are to our pets. It's so nice to see how sincerely they care about the animals. Abby and Ace doesn't hesitate to go to the doctor, and even though it may be time to get a shot or two it's done with much respect and care. You have lifetime patients... in the Black family.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr Yohler. He saw (and helped) my dog on short notice during a holiday week. He was kind, efficient, compassionate, and explanatory. His staff was the same. We could not have asked for a better experience and I would highly recommend the Animal Medical Center of Healdsburg.

We are from Seattle and while traveling our dog tore her dewclaw. Our friends recommended Dr. Yowler and we were so appreciative and impressed! They communicated with our vet in Seattle, got her in for the surgery needed and worked with us around our travel schedule. You can tell caring for animals is in his heart. Staff & office were very professional too!

By far the best experience my dog and I have had with a vet in the 10 years I’ve had him. We bring our 2 cats here as well, Dr. Yohler is kind, professional and truly cares for all the animals who come in.
