How to Save on Veterinary Costs at HEARTHSTONE ANIMAL CLINIC
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

So I was recommended Dr. P by my sister and right away the guy is very attentive and kind. We have 3 dogs and he recently performed a laparoscopic spay on all of them in one day! They all weigh 45+ lbs. Dr P was very educational on the process and procedures of laparoscopic spaying, so after this information we definitely decided to do it! When we dropped them off in the morning the staff were very helpful in being able to take them in. After we picked them up the staff really were thorough and gave perfect detailed instructions on the meds they needed. The dogs really weren't much different other than just being slightly tired on the first day! After the second day they were acting fairly normal and honestly did not seem any different other than walking around with doughnuts on their head! On the 7th day we went in early in the morning to get their stitches removed and they removed all 3 within what felt like 20 minutes. Best vet experience I've ever had! Do not hesitate to use the services that these people provide!

My precious pup Dulce was vomiting last three days right before the long holiday weekend. Thankfully, Dr Pelton saw her the same day and treated her. I’m so grateful to him and his staff. Adding photo for cuteness.

We recently had our first visit with Hearthstone and will definitely be staying. I had originally planned on starting with wellness visits, but when one of my dogs had something pop up that concerned me, plans changed. They got back to me right away when I reached out for an appointment. Dr. Pelton gave me a couple different options before I even saw him- one of which was seeing my dog that day for surgery based on what he felt the issue was and changing the appointment if it wasn't. The other was coming in for a visit and talking things over. I chose the visit due to being nervous after my dogs received questionable care elsewhere, but appreciated that they were willing to immediately help while trying to minimize costs on my end. With both options, they offered prices in advance without my having to ask, which I also appreciated. Dr. Pelton walked me through everything at the visit, made sure to answer all of my questions, and I left feeling better about the situation. Meds and surgery confirmed it was what he originally thought it was and he did exactly as said- took care of my senior and woke her up as soon as possible, knowing I was nervous about anesthesia. Before I picked her up, I received a full update about how surgery went, a list of things to expect, and post-op instructions. I've never been to an office that is as upfront, communicative, and reasonably priced as Dr. Pelton's. Everyone is also incredibly kind and informative. I honestly wish I had found them sooner!

I am so very grateful for Dr. Pelton and his staff for taking such immaculate care of my 6 week old kitten, who suffered 3 fractured legs and a fractured hip, but then found out that one hind leg needed to be amputated. I was scared to death because she is so tiny, but surgery went perfect and an hour after she was already trying to walk around! I will never be able to express how thankful I am for all you guys did for her. Grace O'Malley is a fighter.

They are so great here. I adopted a foster kitty from a really nice woman, and she brought him here with his brothers and sisters before he was handed over to me. Looks like they can offer a small discount if you have multiple kitties for their first check ups. I don't live near here, but it's not too far out from me because I like the people there, the doctor is very nice, affordable office visits, and I really like the inside. Feels more homey, than industrial white walls everywhere. Very warm inside. Very nice people. When I took him there for the first time, they even had my cats name, Silky, on the little welcome sign outside. I recommend if you're in the area.
