How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Heritage Animal Hospital
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
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

Great place, great Vet and great staff. It's been awhile so my visit was probably a year ago, but Dr. Syam treated our cat as if she was his only patient. Certainly not the case, but the point being he spent so much time and care for our little girl and we knew she was in good hands. Reassuring our tender hearts that she will be ok. Though our cats were in Cascades Animal Centers care initially, on a last minute need to get our sick cat in to see someone, Heritage was the only available place, but it was close to closing time. They did not hesitate and told us to come in. Not being familiar with them, I had no choice. Though i did see that their reviews were wonderful. Boy did we luck out. Dr. Syam was super amazing and truly answered every question without rushing us. He spent ample time and you could tell that he cared very much about our cat's well being. In addition to the cat he treated, we have another cat (her sister) that will now be a patient of Heritage's. Cascades Animal Center is wonderful with a good staff, and 500 ft from our home, but I think Heritage is now going to be the place for us. The only negative was (at the time), a bunch of their dry food bags by Hill's Science Diet were expired (i saw the dates on the bags) or close to expiration, so that might need to be looked at regularly to ensure the food they offer for purchase is fresh. Having expired food on display for purchase could reflect negatively on how the hospital is run, for some, which is not the fact, because it is a wonderful place to bring your pet. Also, Shout out to Matt a Vet Asst at Heritage. I recall how kind and helpful he was, and he, too, spent time answering our questions without making us feel rushed.

This clinic has been my veterinarian clinic for the last 8 years. Excellent service. Prompt for appointments. Highly trained and compassionate doctor. My dog and I are both very happy with the services and care they provide.

I took my kitten for his first checkup, the nurse (Mr. Adryan) was very nice, so knowledgeable and very patient with our kitten. He greeted us once we arrived, no wait and was super kind to us and our kitten. Then Dr. Sam came and he was very kind too. Love this animal hospital and we will bring all of our pets here from now on.

Our little guy broke his leg this morning and we were having trouble finding a vet to take him to. I came across Heritage online, called them, and we're immediately put on the list and asked to bring him ASAP. When we arrived, they were extremely helpful and compassionate with our situation. They explained everything very clearly and made our dog feel very welcome and safe. Even though broken bones are expensive and require intense care or even surgery, the doctor and the staff were very helpful and I would highly recommend Heritage to everyone. Banfield, our primary care that we pay monthly insurance to, turned us down today and I would be glad to take my primary business to Heritage. Thank you Heritage for what you do!

The staff here is superb! They’ll love your pet like their own, they really respect them. I’ve had 3 visits so far with my young pup and we’ve had nothing but positive experience everytime. Dr. Moghal and Rita will give sufficient time and attention to your pet and address all your concerns. I would highly recommend Heritage Animal Hospital.
