What makes Healing Hearts different

We know worrying about cost on top of worrying about your pet is the last thing you need. That’s why we post the majority of our prices on our website so you can make informed decisions before you leave home.

Whether you reserve your spot online or walk in, most pets are brought in to a private exam room shortly after arrival, not left waiting in your car for hours.

Our team sits down with you, listens to what’s going on, and explains what we’re seeing and our recommendations for next steps. We always work through options together to find a path forward that helps your pet.

After your visit, we send a complete report to your veterinarian so your pet’s care stays coordinated and consistent.

Clear discharge instructions, someone to call if you have questions, and confidence that your pet got the care they needed.

FAQs

Emergency vets are for life-threatening situations: difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, poisoning, seizures, major trauma. They’re staffed 24/7 and priced accordingly—often $3,000+ just to start. Urgent care is for everything else: injuries, illnesses, “something’s not right,” problems that need attention but aren’t life-threatening. We have the same diagnostic tools and medical expertise without the emergency price tag.

No. Most pets are seen quickly. You can reserve your arrival time online or just walk in. Our brand new hospital has been designed to improve efficiency without sacrificing the quality of your pet’s care.

Our pricing is comparable to general practice veterinarians and significantly less than emergency clinics. The majority of our pricing is posted online, and you’ll get a clear estimate before any treatment starts.

No, walk-ins are always welcome! If you want to reserve a spot to minimize wait time, we make it easy for you to do that online.

We can stabilize and treat your pet during our open hours. For situations requiring overnight monitoring, we’ll coordinate next steps and make sure everyone—you, the next facility, and your regular vet—has the information needed for a seamless handoff.

Yes! We always send a complete visit report to your regular vet after every appointment. We’re an extension of your regular veterinarian’s care, not a replacement.

We work with all major pet insurance providers, and here’s how it typically works: you pay for your pet’s visit at the time of service, and then submit a claim to your insurance company for reimbursement. Most pet parents receive their reimbursement within a few weeks, depending on the provider and plan. Our team can help you facilitate the claim submission — we’ll provide detailed invoices, medical records, and guidance to make the process as simple as possible.

We also offer other payment options for your convenience, including financing options like CareCredit and Scratchpay.

Peace of mind is just a visit away

When your pet needs care and your vet is closed, we’re here to help—quickly, compassionately, and without the emergency price tag.
