How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Hillside Animal 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

Hillside Animal Hospital is the most wonderful Vet practice we have ever used. Our 4 month old lab puppy, Floyd is our 5th lab retriever we've taken to Hillside over the many years. There are times we have had to take our dogs closer to home, and we just see a complete difference. Dr. Ben is always patient, knowledgeable and professional with all of our many questions (especially since it's been 14 years since we had a puppy). We never feel rushed, confused, (or pressed upon to add services as I see in October's review). This is simply not the case with Hillside. Their staff is pleasant, efficient, extremely caring, while also being knowledgeable & professional. I've never met anyone at Hillside that gave us less than excellent & exemplary customer service. I've posted the same review on Yelp. I recommend Hillside to any animal lover!

Kind, compassionate, competent staff. When my Cheech reached the end of his beautiful life, staff took good care of us. Thank you.

A thousand stars are not enough for this operation. The vet saved my dog’s life. The staff is super friendly, the building is clean, and the waiting area is big. You’ll be in good hands. I highly recommend this veterinarian.

Hillside is like an extended family. They have cared for our pets many years. Their professionalism, empathy, compassion, and knowledge is the best you will ever find. Dr. Vogtman is usually the vet that treats our cats. He always takes time to hear and address our concerns. He explains in a way we can understand, and his sincerity comes through when the options or decisions are really tough. The techs we have dealt with display all the same qualities as Dr. Vogtman. We usually deal with the afternoon front desk staff and are always greeted and treated with kindness and respect. There are not enough good things to be said about Hillside. Once you try them you will realize you've found the right Vet for you and your pets needs.
