How to Save Money at Heart + Paw
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.

We brought our cat here and received excellent care. Lucian was very calm throughout the visit, we were followed up with via text the following day which we also appreciated. If you love your fur baby and want a trusting and affordable vet office this is an excellent option.

The ladies that we have worked with here have been AMAZING!!! They take such good care of my little baby girl Riley! They are even going through construction right now and even though it may be overwhelming for the team to have to deal with it they do it with such grace and patience. I adore Jordan ( Im sorry if I’m wrong with the name) And Dr Melick was very thorough in her explanation of what was going on and so nice!! Brittany is always so sweet when she answers the phone also! Honestly everyone is fabulous! Your four legged babies will be taken care of here for sure!!!!

I love everything about Apache Trail Animal Hospital. I was with my former veterinarian for 18 yrs. When I moved and had to start working 2 jobs I just couldn't do the time it took to drive and wait and drive back. ATAH is lovely! Everyone is so helpful and they are affordable! They even helped with a rescue that I found! They are thorough, helpful and loving to my pack!! I would highly recommend Apache Trail Animal Hospital!

Went to them for emergency treatment for my Mother's cat. Everyone was very caring and extremely knowledgeable. They made sure that my 80 year old mother fully understood the problem as well as the course of treatment. All without trying to rush or worry about any type of time constraints. Would highly recommend!

We had the BEST experience here! From the receptionists to the doctors, they were all incredible! We were incredibly lucky that they were able to squeeze me and my dog in on Monday as a new client with a sick pet. They saw him right away, treated him as if he were their own, and were fully transparent with me the entire time! I honestly can not say enough good things about this place! Their prices are outstanding, as well as their passion for what they do and their empathy is mind blowing. My kiddos and I count ourselves extremely lucky to have found this team:)
