How to Save Money at Heroes Veterinary Hospital

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.

Our puppy absolutely loves Hero's as do we. Quick service and very caring associates and vet. We're going to miss Sam and wish her luck on her adventure to become a veterinarian. She's absolutely 💯 the best 🐾🐾🐾

If my family and I could give Heroes 1 million stars we would. This has been the best veterinary experience we have ever had. I have been coming to Heroes for just about a year now for both wellness visits and sick visits. The place is spacious for everyone coming in and out to comfortably wait/interact with the staff. I think more than for people, this matters to our pets who don't always know what they are walking into so immediately the layout of the waiting room already offers comfort and space for them. The front desk personnel are AMAZING, efficient, understandably busy but always positive and always helpful. I understand that they don't have the answer to all of the questions and concerns someone can call about but they are great at getting back to you with the best suggestions and solutions. I know Arden and Luana (i believe that is her name, apologies if I got it wrong!!), but I have had interactions with others too and they are all equally great and always go above and beyond in my opinion. At our last visit, we had Gabi as our Vet tech and Dr.Goldblatt as our Vet. Gabi was awesome with our girl getting her settled into the room and taking down all of our initial questions and concerns in prep for the doctor. She really got to know our girl who is always so anxious and befriended her and gained as much trust as she could with Yuna so that she can do a proper exam and get her vitals good. To me this is always so important because it makes it so the next experience is more trusting for Yuna. When someone takes the time to befriend her and not judge her right away really stands out to us. Yuna gets judged quickly sometimes because she can be difficult when she gets scared (barking, not wanting to leave the room or my side, not letting the vets do a proper exam, etc.) We appreciate Gabi and the staff being patient and winning Yuna over so that she can get the treatment she needs. We always go to see Dr.Goldblatt because our puppy girl is familiar with her however we trust ALL the staff at Heroes. This last visit was nothing out of the ordinary but what stood out for us was the kindness and patience everyone had with us and our girl. We have a large breed Labmix (a healthy 80lbs) that like i mentioned gets scared at the vet so she is a little bit more difficult to wrangle down for a physical. I know my husband and I came in with a lot of questions that Dr.Goldblatt kindly addressed each and every single one with detail, professionalism, and really referenced the best care for our pup. We love her sense of humor. I just feel that above all at Heroes its about the best interest of the pet and their health. Dr.Goldblatt also helped us combat and get to the bottom of what was once a very concerning and persistent case of doggy acne we dealt with for years! We had tried so many allergy shots, medications, and antibiotics.. When we first met Dr.Goldblatt it was her approach that seemed to be the key to getting down to the exact strain and helped us get her on the right antibiotic topical and its never happened again. Overall, my girls health and happiness is the most important priority in our lives because we love her so much. When we take her to Heroes we feel it is truly the best care and that the health, happiness, and overall wellbeing of our furry pets is also their first and foremost priority. So if you're looking for a vet in the area and you are on the fence --- just do it. Take them to Heroes, you will not regret it. I drove by this place so many times and before ending up at Heroes and I only wish I had taken her sooner here.

I’ve been taking my two cats to heroes for the last year and a half and i can say without a doubt that this is the best veterinary hospital in the Fort Lauderdale area. They are the kindest people and are always willing to help. The front desk ladies work so incredibly hard to make sure my sweet boys can be seen and given the care and attention they need. I’ve seen first hand how the receptionists, technicians, and doctors handle rude clients with grace and patience. As a first time cat owner, they gave me the peace of mind knowing i had a vet hospital in my area that would give the same love and care to my animals as i would. If you’re looking for a friendly, local vet hospital to take your fur babies, i would 10000% recommend Heroes. ❤️🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

First off, this is Harper a 6 year-old golden retriever that I love with my entire heart. And she’s middle-age these days because of that we like taking precautionary actions to make sure that she’s healthy. Heroes and everyone involved in it has done nothing but help Harper and us. The people here handle issues very very well even when people are being absolutely ridiculous. Harper has come in for mini check ups and we Even brought her at times when we were really concerned for her health. Everyone has always been very caring and patient no matter the situation. Also, shout out to one of the younger guys named Robert for always helping communicate with my Spanish speaking side of the family.

I was introduced to this vet almost 10 yrs ago through the snip program. I have been taking my babies here ever since. The staff and doctors are attentive and kind. Pricing is affordable compared to other places, the hours are great, waiting room is very large and comfortable,and they keep the office so clean. We just had our most recent rescue neutered there and we are glad we did. He is very active and the doctor has been so patient and kind with check-ups on his sutures.
