How to Save Money at Animal Surgical Care
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.
Reviews from Google
I will always tell all pet parents about the kindness, fairness, and honesty that I experienced at Animal Surgical Care. I will never forget how Dr. Leka was the only one who listened to me when my dog was injured and needed surgery ASAP, when everyone else brushed me off. Both Dr. Leka and Dr. Iguchi personally called and texted to follow up with my dogs recovery post-op, and reassured me that they were available to help if needed. My Lab's leg injury was severe, but we wouldn't be on the long road to recovery without ASC. From the bottom of mine (and Zia's) hearts, we are so grateful. :)

My fur baby was very sick and needed an emergency surgery. I was so happy that this location was referred to me. They are so kind and I knew my dog was in safe hands. Thank you so much for your kindness

If your pet needs surgery this is the ONLY place is recommend! There's not enough words to express my gratitude for Dr Leka and his team. Found out thanksgiving morning that our dog had a condition that without emergency surgery would be fatal. I was given ASG's number from another Vet and gave them a call. I called thanksgiving day around 11 and Dr Leka and his team were ready for emergency surgery by 3pm. They opened up on thanksgiving to save my dogs life. I'm confident to say that not only is this the best Vet in Denver, but probably some of the best people in Denver as well. If more people were like this amazing family, this world would be much better place! Thank you guys again, we are truly grateful for you guys!

I don’t know where to even start, Dr Leka was recommended to me. At this time I was desperate and in need of an affordable vet to take my cat who broke his foot. Dr Leka was unbelievably communicative and helpful through the whole process. Even after an amputation and several help with the rest of my cats he is still so supportive and reliable. Just one call away and he gives the best advice for whatever comes up with our babies! Like I have stated to him before, i am so blessed to have crossed paths with such an amazing doctor. Forever thankful for this Vet!
