How to Save Money at Hearthstone Veterinary Hospital

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.

Getting 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.

I have 5 rescue cats, all of which have had continued vet care. My most recent rescue was a kitten. My regular vet office wasn't able to help me with this kitten, but Dr. Jolie didn't hesitate to help. She went above & beyond what any other vet had ever done for me & my pets. She helped me to give this little guy (who was very sick) the best possible life he could have. Unfortunately, despite her dedication, loving & deeply caring heart, he passed away 1/11/22. It was very obvious I had found the most caring vet & staff any animal lover could ask for, Binx left behind 4 older brothers (cats) & a sister who's a Goldendoodle, they were best friends & she hasn't stopped looking for him. His brothers will now have continued vet care with Dr. Jolie, as will his best dog friend. To Dr. Jolie, I can't thank you enough for everything you did & tried to do for Binx. His four cat brothers & dog sister are looking forward to having you as their forever vet. 🥰🥰 RIP Binx, you are so very missed & forever loved.

Dr. Jolie has helped my dog immensely. I recently had changed vets to come to Dr. Jolie because I didn't feel my old vet was doing much for my dog. Dr. Jolie identified one problem he was experiencing after just a few days. She addressed that and moved on to my dog's next issues. I was so grateful to finally feel like he was getting help. Dr. Jolie is compassionate with animals and people. I'm very happy to have brought my dog to her.

I have a extremely anxious and reactive dog, time and time again she’s been sedated for the smallest things at other offices, not at hearthstone! Dr. Jolie is wonderful with Espyn, she even gave us the opportunity to tour the facility while we were deciding if this was the place for us. Absolutely wonderful staff, we won’t go anywhere else.

Everybody at Hearthstone is very friendly and informative, they have the patience to take questions and discuss any concerns. I've gotten call backs to check on my dogs, after some visits even! My two dogs are always "treated" well and are comfortable in going there. Dr Jolie is great with them, 5 stars!
