How to Save Money at Care Animal 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.

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.

I've been taking my pets to Care for over 7 years now. They've been awesome for my Dog & Cats. Also they've helped with 2 of my older cats crossing the bridge. Great Vets, great office staff. 5 stars.

I have a older dog who doesn't do well with strangers . She is nervous and a little protective of her humans. I was a little worried about taking her but she needed to be seen . Dr. Gordon gained her trust very quickly. I stepped out to make it easier. When I was called back in she was just laying on the floor relaxing. I feel so much better taking her to be seen . The staff are also very friendly and helpful.😊

Dr. Fox and team take very good care of my cat’s health. They are thorough and gentle with both of my boys, Garfield and Odin. And their pet paw plan allows me to give them both the best of care, head to paws.

This is 1 of 3 veterinary offices I have used over the past few years (in Arvada). I was a “patient” with my dog for about a year and a half before I quit using their services. They simply over charged me for services that are 10-25% cheaper at neighboring vets. On multiple occasions they have tried to have me come in for visit before any vaccinations or treatments are needed. I received a message earlier this week saying my dog needed to come in, when I inquired why I was suspicious about the timing. I decided to go to another vet today and immediately they said he isn’t ready for any shots and they kindly suggested that I re-schedule to save money. I am certain this would NeVER happen at this place. They are more concerned with profit than animal care in my experience. Can they provide good care? Yea, the care is fine, hence 3 stars, but I can never trust this place to provide reasonable care for a reasonable price. This was a 3 strikes scenario for me, proving I cannot trust this place to be honest with me.

Dr Gilbert is a great Veterinarian. His level of care as well as the way he communicates and explains everything to you is great! The staff at the clinic is also very exceptional from the front desk to the techs in the back. I have brought my grandma and her dog here for a few years now and am now bringing my own pets here as well.
