How to Save Money at Pet Allies Clinic
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.

Pet Allies really care for the pets they take in. They make sure pets have medical care, loving environment no kill shelter. I adopted Russell from Pet Allies. Russell is the perfect dog for me. We were matched exactly right.

We absolutely love Pet Allies! They do so much for the community and get people involved. Did you know you can volunteer at the shelter and even foster animals? Last summer we got to foster 2 puppies and it was awesome! We've also used their spay clinic twice and it was very affordable and they took great care of our cats. They also provide shots at really good prices. We highly recommend you go here to volunteer, adopt a pet or use their clinic

I am fostering newborn puppies that were found Saturday. Today 6/22/20 i called & before i could finish, the lady i was taking to hung up. No goodbye, no excuse, just rudely hung up. Gee thanx... None of my questions were answered & all calls thereafter were neglected. Don't want to be helpful then just say that you don't care & that you're busy. Don't just hang up & leave the person hanging... Luckily there are more rescuers out there that do care. Northern Arizona Animal Search & Rescue (NAASR) would be the organization to talk too.... At least they have the compassionate, caring staff that will answer any questions.

I have been dealing with this clinic since adopting two cats and a dog from their shelter over two years ago. Today was the last straw. Starting with the barn cat that was "free" except ongoing medical needs before he suddenly just died. Our female cat we adopted was very sweet but older than they said ( pet allies said 4-6 years) and had pre existing problems medically that we paid for at their clinic. Low cost and a couple bills of $200 later doesn't exactly go together. The vet there was inadequate, diagnosed her with urinary tract infection. When she got worse after the meds he prescribed, we spent more money on a competent vet to discover she had a feline version of IBS and was at least over 12 years old. Sadly she died a year later. We adopted a dog from the shelter, he had medical issues as well but when I called the clinic I was told from a very snotty and rude woman that this was only a spay/neuter clinic and they do not accept nor have ever accepted any other medical appointments. I asked her to explain why they had seen & diagnosed my 2 cats previously and was hung up on. Today I tried scheduling a neuter for a small dog ( 20lbs at time of neutering in May). I asked if 10-11 weeks was too young to neuter as that would be his age at the time of the appointment. I never received an answer, just "ums" "uhhs" and then "hold on". She said they could book the next week if that works better for me. That's not what I asked, its not a question of my convenience it's a concern for my dogs wellfare. Then she notified me that I had to prepay $85 to keep the appointment! No thank you. I'll go to the valley and pay half that if I wanted a true low cost clinic. It's not about the money for me, it just shows that it is for them. I feel bad for the animals they take in, it's obviously about turning them out to make a buck. If you care about you pets wellbeing be warned of this clinic. I tell everyone I meet about their bad practices.
