How to Save Money at High Country 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.

I've never had such a great experience with a vet. The team at High Country Vet genuinely cares about animals and is incredibly responsive. Over the years, I've faced various issues with my pets, including cats, dogs, and even a frog. Dr. Moses and her staff have consistently gone above and beyond in their care. She has saved the lives of two of my dogs and one of my cats so far. One of my dogs was bitten by a rattlesnake and required numerous surgeries, and Dr. Moses never gave up on him. Her dedication and persistence are truly remarkable. Dr. Moses and her staff are exceptional people, combining great attitudes with high levels of skill and expertise. They always take the time to explain everything thoroughly, ensuring that both pets and their owners feel comfortable and well-informed. There is no way I would let anyone else treat any of my animals besides High Country Vet. Their commitment to providing top-notch care is evident in everything they do. Thank you for your awesome work and dedication over the past few years. Your efforts are truly appreciated, and I am grateful to have found such a wonderful veterinary practice.

I don’t get all the great reviews. I make an appointment that they confirm (adamantly) and yet I continually wait 10-15 min for them to accept is. I have a puppy. She wants to play and be with every dog in the waiting room. You hear her cryiing….so why does the staff make me wait 15 min every time even though I’m on time? Plus they have the dogs behind the screen and, of course my pup wants to play my with them, but the dogs seem aggressive and growl and bark and snarl at my puppy. I do t get a great welcome when I walk in with a beautiful puppy and a new customer. I’ve been there 3 times now, not a great welcome..,they don’t really acknowledge your dog even. Weird, right??? They just seem so rude to me. They even screwed up my new puppy vac schedule and when I called the techs out on it they got defensive with me. Not cool, considering I have pet insurance and what they put in the receipt is importantly to my $$$, but they didn’t care when I pointed that out. I bought a very expensive pet and researched the best vets around. Not sure what the reviewers expect, but I’m not going back. I’ve never been to a vet like this and I’ve had dogs all my life!!!

Vet #1 saw my dog for a limp and infection between her toes. We opted for exam and removal of any remaining foreign object. Surgery performed, tube for drainage plus stitches. 4 days later drainage tube removed. 4 more days stitches removed. Dog brought out to me, still limping. Why? The vet is busy will call you back in 2 hours. 5:30pm Friday secty calls. Dr. Mosley didn't perform the surgery. She will call you back Tuesday. See if it improves. Mosley presumably looked at dog when stitches were removed, but the original vet who hasn't examined dog since surgery is supposed to evaluate when Vet Mosley who was there at suture removal won't evaluate. $500 What practice removes sutures and refuses to discuss the limp which has not improved and tells you to call the first vet in the practice, 4 days later when she will be back. In the meantime my dog is limping as badly when she was first brought there. I conjecture a vet didn’t even look at the dog and a vet tech took out the stitches and gave her back to me. Unacceptable standard of care. This vet was Dr. Moses, whom i had trusted. It’s like a factory in my judgement. Why should my dog have to wait. Moses was the vet when the stitches were removed.

Drs. Moses and Sallee are phenomenal, as are the rest of the High Country techs and staff members. I would never take my new best friend anywhere else.
