How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Heritage Veterinary 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

A wonderful experience at Heritage. Our 3-year-old Schnoodle, Frankie, began having tummy issues, and we checked with the hospital. They scheduled an appointment that afternoon. The experience with the front desk, vet deck, and vet was wonderful. They also did a great job following up. Thanks, Heritage!

Have had my fur babies taken care of by Heritage for 30 + years all my babies have been so well cared for. Not one of my pups have ever been afraid to enter their doors.

Since moving to St. Louis Metro 23 years ago, we've had four dogs. We had the very good fortune of finding Heritage Veterinary Hospital with Dr. Sanford right off the bat. Every member of our veterinary family at Heritage has been compassionate to our dog family members and are obviously passionate about animals. I can't imagine any other veterinary office ever treating out fur babies! Anne

The team makes every pet feel extremely special upon arrival! They also ensure a safe setting by giving your pets privacy between the front door and their waiting room. We never crossed paths with another animal.

In the past, my dog has been actually sedated to give shots, get blood draws because he is so reactionary in the vet's office. I can't believe that we were able to work with him with minimal fuss and with him in my lap with the Heritage staff. They took the time and created the right environment for my little fur boy to get treatment in a way that wasn't terrifying to him. It was amazing.
