How to Save Money at Harwood Veterinary Hospital, LLC
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.

My 2 Guinea pigs had an appointment last month with them and the vet techs/vet were all super super nice!!! The vet answered all of my questions and even gave me a mini lesson on what to look out for! It made me very happy to know that I’ve found a vet who is very knowledgeable with Guinea pigs! They’re pretty affordable too, one of my Guinea pigs is a bit spicy but they handled him with care and were patient with him. Definitely making Harwood my go to vet. I also plan on switching my dog over too.

Recently moved to the area and was looking for a smaller privately owned vet practice to establish care for my two retrievers. My dogs were very sick earlier this summer from mushroom poisoning and I felt that their emergency vet care was erratic so I was anxious to get them established with a vet “primary care” and get some answers about the state of their health. I could not be happier with Harwood Vet and Dr. Paul! The staff was great and I felt the care exceeded my (high) expectations!

Dr. Paul is awesome! He's a straight shooter and very thorough in explaining everything you need to know. Takes the time to answer all your questions and concerns and gets what it's like to be a pet owner (having several pets at home himself) His staff is very friendly with animals as well as their owners. You can tell immediately that they are all animal lovers and are so good at tending to them. I'd have to say our dog, Piper, actually enjoyed her visit to the Vet. (Except maybe for the shot)

Best vet we've ever had! Dr. Paul and his staff are all caring and knowledgeable. They really care about you and your pet and take the time to actually get to know you. Very reasonable prices and they never recommend things that aren't necessary.

We took our eight week old Visalia mix for her initial visit this morning with Dr. Paul! His office is very clean and staff is outgoing and friendly! Dr. Paul was amazing giving us detailed information and advice about our new addition! I highly recommend Dr.. Paul and Harwood Veterinary Hospital! I feel we are in very good hands as we begin this journey together!
