How to Save Money at Harbour Place Animal Clinic

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.

Getting 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.

Brought my dog Bubba for a bath. At that time they also assessed his ears and he had a yeast infection. Forever grateful to keep my Bubba healthy. And he was bathed well, nails trimmed. Bubba was so happy. Tha ks for the great care!

If there were a 0 star option, it would be more fitting for this office. RUN, DON'T WALK! This vet had her techs administer medication to my animals BEFORE she even looked at them it completed the test for this issue. The test results were reported to me 5 hours later, which was only a 15 minutes test that was supposed to be completed while in office, and the results came back negative. She claims it's a requirement from the CDC to give dewormer as a preventative and not a treatment, but if you call there CDC, it's not. They wouldn't even cut my dog's nails because they said the dog didn't like it. What animal does? I was quoted $120 for everything and walked out paying $368! RUN and keep your money from this scam artist!

I was referred here but the person did say that they had not been in a while. Well, it's Thanksgiving I had planned to go visit family and needed to board my dogs. Setup the appointment. The page/recording said they close at 12. So, I called to make sure and to ask other questions. I was told that at the last minute they decided to close at 11 or in a few minutes as she said. Because the doctor was going out of town and had some "late" appt come in (made no sense, late appt mean you stay late right?). So now at 11 am I'm scrambling to find a "reliable and honest" boarder for my dogs, so that I can spend time with my family. Go somewhere that will do great business because the doctor has nothing to do with accepting dogs for boarding.

I used to think its a very good place with nice vet and nurse. Now I changed my mind. Long Story short. If you want to over spend your money, go there. And if they prescribe Cheristin (a flea prevention for cats) and tell you it's really great. Think about it twice and go online to search some reviews. Plus, they sell it double the price Where you can buy the SAME product in petSmart half. And they tell you it's different product. Good luck in this Clinic. Pictures show that what Cheristin did to my cat! A patch of hair lost the next day! ! ! At the exact place where I drop the medicine! Don't waste your time and money there!
