How to Save Money at Harmony Road Animal 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.

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.

I just wanted to give a shout out to the staff of Harmony Animal Hospital. My family had the hard decision of sending our 16 year old girl, Anika, over the rainbow bridge. Though extremely hard, the entire staff that took care of us were stellar and I can't thank them enough. They were compassionate and caring through the entire process, and never made us to feel rushed at any point in our time spent there. Thank you SO SO much, Harmony Animal Hospital. The Walker's can't thank you enough. We know our baby girl is at rest.

My family have been a client of Dr. Pathman and his team for 6+ years. The compassion and care they have shown us is unmatched!They have seen us through heart wrenching decisions and happy times. In the time we have been with the Harmony road team they have treated 7 of my pets, 2 who have since crossed the rainbow bridge. Another that has cancer/heart murmur. I am so grateful to have such an amazing team ! They are honest and upfront about costs, which are reasonable. Thank you Dr Pathman and your team for all that you do!

Harmony Road Animal hospital is a great clinic that helped me feel at ease about my kitty and her recent spay procedure. I was quite stressed and nervous (my kitty was not having a bowel movement a few days after the surgery & it was stretching over what would be normal) and they were extremely helpful. They prescribed laxatives and she was able to use the washroom as well as a lot of great advice! I was also concerned about her sutures a few different times throughout the healing process and sent them a few pictures to check of any infection and they were so sweet to review thoroughly and provide feedback, Mya and Erica were super sweet and helpful with their advice. Whenever I called, the staff was kind and patient, they asked the vet questions for me as well. They didn't push any unnecessary costs to me and were very reasonable with costs especially considering all of their extra support! Thank you so much team, Emi healed perfectly and is as healthy as ever, we appreciate the great job!

I cannot say enough positive things about the doctors and staff here. We have brought our cat and dog in for regular visits and the staff are knowledgeable and also so kind and sweet. We recently had to put our 14 year old cat to sleep and it was the most caring and peaceful experience. They explained everything, gave us private time, and the care they showed was incredible. I just got a beautiful card in the mail signed by all the staff. Thank you for everything, Dan and Lisa Margettie.
