How to Save Money at Animal Health Center
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

Amazing experience. I brought my 10 year old chiuahua in to be evaluated for a knee injury. She could be on pain management the rest of her life, or have surgery and heal more completely. Dr. Haroush made sure I could afford the surgery with my insurance, re evaluated her heart condition, and took her in right away. Two days later, I'm on my way home with my dog. She looks great and I'm looking forward to fast healing. Thank you Dr. Haroush!!

The local vet recommended euthanasia for our cat’s mega colon. Dr Haroush’s surgery saved Dash’s life. And Dr Haroush’s explanations for another cat with a tumor on his spine were so kind and thoughtfully explained that our daughter was able to accept the inevitable loss of a loved pet. We highly recommend this veterinary practice and amazing surgeon.

I have always trusted this clinic with my cats' care and have had great experiences with Dr. Yoshida. I appreciate her dedication and the compassionate treatment my babies have received over recent the years. Thank you!

My Fiance and I found a 2 week old abandons stray kitten back in July. We had experience with neonatal kittens and decided to take him in and foster. By 4 weeks we began noticing digestive issues, at first is was constipation, and no interest in weaning onto wet food, then it became daily vomiting, unable to gain weight, and a patchy dull coat. We went to multiple emergency vets and our regular vet all of whom did not give us a diagnosis, and even went as far as to say that we would have to put him down if he didn't start tolerating solid food (this was when he was 6 weeks old). We finally found Dr. Haroush, I went to his office in tears asking him if he thought there was anything that we could do to save our sweet kittens life. He calmed me down, told me that Monty was not a lost cause and that we could approach his illness as aggressively or slowly as we would like. He ran multiple tests, and found a high bacteria count, and addessed it with medications and told us we could continue bottle feeding him as long as he needed it (up to 10 weeks) which was the opposite of what we had heard from other vets). It took about 3 months from the time we started seeing Dr. Haroush for Monty to finally get better, and each time we went to see Dr. Haroush he customized Monty's treatment based on how well he was doing on certain medications and what food he was starting to tolerate. While he may not be the most cost effective vet option in the city, he was the most proactive and we now have an incredibly healthy and strong 6 month old kitten who I believe would not be alive if it weren't for the team at Animal Health Center.
