How to Save Money at Arvada Veterinary Hospital

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.

Getting 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 pup was limping for a few days off and she was seen the same day. The staff is friendly and courteous. The vet took his time evaluating my dog. There were no diagnostic tests needed and the issue was a torn quick that needed to heal. I was very pleased with the vet. He clearly loves his job and is kind and concerned about his patients. I will continue to come here for the quality of care and the kindness and caring of the staff. Also of importance they are conscientious of the cost of care and achieve to provide the best care possible without ordering unnecessary tests.

I am so thankful to have Dr. Todd Smith and the rest of the staff at Arvada Vetinary Hospital to take care of my dog! Dr. Todd shows genuine care and concern for my dog and for me as well. It shows that he really does love dogs, and takes time with me and my dog, listens to me and offers solutions. My dog has PTSD from being in a shelter prior to him rescuing me. Dr. Todd has a gentle quiet calm nature that puts him at ease. I highly recommend AVH, and especially Dr. Todd!

It was such a relief to see a doctor so quickly and Dr. Todd was great. He approached my dog gently talking and petting him while visiting with me about my concern. He put us both at ease and then proceeded with the exam. While the results are not back yet, Dr. Todd did give me as much information as he could which helped alleviate my stress.

I drive from the mountains to come down here. My dog loves coming here and they often comment how relaxed he is. They’ve taken great care of him and are definitely affordable compared to other options. The vets are friendly and spend a good amount of time together addressing any issues.
