How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Harbor Springs Vet
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.

I had my first visit at Harbor Springs Vet today for my 2 Pugs, and I could not have been more impressed. From the time I parked my car to the time I left, everyone was just as friendly, welcoming, and professional as could be. The owner, who was especially accommodating, came outside to greet me and help me inside because he saw that I was struggling with 2 dogs and a 6 month old human, getting out of a lifted truck by myself. Everyone was so excited and loving towards my dogs and really made them feel comfortable and cared for. They even took the time to get to know me as a person, rather than just as a new client. They were also quite fast and efficient with their professional procedures. There was even a cute little sign made up to welcome my pugs to their facility, waiting for us in the exam room they had reserved for us. On the way out, one of those amazing vets even helped me get my dogs to the truck while I cared for my baby and even took them to potty for me. The Harbor Springs veterinary staff truly went above and beyond for my little family today, and we will absolutely be making them our official doggy health care providers. ( The facility was also quite nice, CLEAN, and spacious) If I could give more stars I would. THANKS GUYS!!!!! See you soon!

We took Delilah in to see Dr. Billy because she stopped eating yesterday. After working with us to schedule an emergency surgery, they were able to find out she had a major blockage in the stomach and intestine due to ingesting a sock (I swear she is part goat). Just like that, she’s home with us resting and on the road to recovery after 2 major surgeries. We can’t say enough things about Dr. Billy. He’s an amazing Vet who has always shown love and care and excellent attention to our babies. He and his staff at Harbor Springs Vet saved our babygirl today and I’ll be forever greatful. It’s rare to find a vet who is so caring and truly loves all of our pups like his own. Thank you so much Dr Billy for being such an amazing vet and an even better human. We are proud to call you our vet and our friend ❤️

I am new to the area and my pup has been getting sick for a few days sending me into a financial panic of what to do. I found this vet nearby and within two hours, they were able to see us. Each staff member who interacted with her and myself was so friendly! They even took a photo of us for her visit. The vet explained everything in detail and gave me HONEST recommendations on how to get her on the mend and stay within my budget. I know reviews can sometimes make you question whether or not a business aligns with your needs, but if your need is for your dog to be taken care of and loved on so they feel their best, this is the vet for you!

Outstanding care. Kind, gentle, loving staff. Our dog, Harrison, loves Dr. Billy and his office. Our Senior dog actually enjoys going to the Dr. with zero stress due to the environment they have created for their patients. I recommend Harbor Springs to all my neighbors with pets.

Having tried a number of vets in the area over the years, Dr Billy and the staff at Harbor Springs are the best. This is where we bring our Dobermans and know we are getting the best and most knowledgeable care possible. Also… I would add that there are cheaper vets out there, but our experience has been that the cheaper vets have always come with reduced expertise as well. That is where you run into the, “…lets try this… didn’t work, ok now lets try this…” and meanwhile you are paying for all of those trial procedures/medications. Dr Billy always thoroughly explains his thoughts, reasons for any treatment plan and follow-ups. We have had him refer us to a dermatology specialist when one of our doberman was experiencing multiple skin conditions, and he knew the specialist was the best option for the dog. He is genuinely concerned about the welfare of your animal and not just making a buck off of you. Highly recommended.
