How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Highland 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

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.

Recently began bringing our pets to Highland and so far we are very happy with the care they have received. The techs and receptionists are all friendly and helpful. The veterinarians take time to listen to concerns and problem-solve. They don't treat the animals like they're on an assembly line and you can tell that everyone genuinely cares. The facility itself is very nice. The waiting room is spacious and the exam rooms are clean.

Always a great experience! I started going here when my dog (who wasn't a patient of theirs at the time) was hit by a car. They didn't hesitate to tell me to bring her in! We have ten dogs that now go to them regularly. Great staff and really great prices too!

I am not normally one to write reviews but - I have nothing but absolute positive things to say about the staff & Highland Animal Hospital. My boyfriend and I are first time dog owners to a beautiful 2 year-old Golden Retriever. He has been incredibly sick over the last few days and has spent several days at Highland under the care of their staff. We have always had pleasant experiences with them prior to this, but, over the last few days we have been stuck with the challenge of whether or not our boy needed surgery. Dr. Hawthorne and every single staff member we interacted with has been nothing but kind, compassionate, understanding & willing to help us & our boy. They aren’t open on the weekends, but Dr. Hawthorne even went out of her way to check-in with us regarding Marvin over the weekend and navigated through his care with us. They have gone above and beyond the standard level of care and have impressed us with how amazing they have been. We know our boy is in good hands here & we couldn’t be more appreciative of Dr. Hawthorne & the ENTIRE staff here.

The best veterinarians office I have been too, they are so caring and thorough, affordable and reasonably priced, I will be taking my 2 dogs there from now on. Both of them are absolutely thrilled everytime they go to see Dr.Chadwick. Very very nice experiences so far. They even accommodated us with our older dog we were nervous to socialize and made sure to let us know when no other dogs were in the office, even though we have since found he was totally a big baby and great with other dogs thankfully:) thank you to the staff here for accommodating us and making sure we were comfortable with the situations.

We had to put our precious girl Peppers (fluffy pants) down, and these wonderful people took the time and compassion to help with our feelings. They were so amazing g, gave us a copy of her paw and her cute nose, and gave us a vile of her beautiful hair. The best part, they sent us a card of condolences signed by the whole staff. You will never know how much that meant to us. ❤❤ Thabk you all
