How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Heart River 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

I can not thank Dr. Beth enough!! We are from SD my husband is here working in ND my dog has alot of health problems and he just happened to give us a scare one night of course after hours. I called her when I was an hour away she said she'll meet us at the vet. Not only was it 7 pm at night but it was also her anniversary!!! I felt awful. However she was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend her! She took her time did some research while we waited for tests to come back. She allowed us to bring our other 2 dachshunds in to the lobby because it was extremely hot that day as well. She was very nice got my boy some meds and we were able to take him home to our vet to be seen. Which was good because he was hospitalized for 4 days. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

In the 12+ years of veterinary services Heart River has been my absolute favorite. Dr Kraft treats my two dogs as her own on every visit and they’ve never judged me bringing in both dogs regardless of whose visit it’s for. Today after one of my dogs got his shots in the back due to lack of rooms Dr Kraft personally came out to greet my other dog and give her treats as well. Seriously the first vet I’ve had that I can truly trust with my dogs care. (PS the rest of the staff is also absolutely amazing)

This is a good place if you don't have anything seriously wrong with your pet. My pet was hurt bad but they said he was OK and gave me some medicine to give him. Took him somewhere else and they agreed its not right and took x-rays. Turned out it was a dislocated joint and hopefully they can pop it back in....heart river why didn't you catch this? This is negligence. You didn't even take x-rays. After hearing about a small dog in fight with a bigger dog.

I was just there with my Mom. Today was, well, it was a day we had been dreading for a long time. The staff members here are so calm, patient, kind, and loving. I do not know how they can go through this every day. Thank you, Heart River. It is a tough day today, but without your kindness and gentleness, it would have been so much more difficult.
