How to Save Money at D-SNiP

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.

Most affordable spay/neuter in the area, very polite and professional. Our male cat seemed hardly inconvenienced and recovered fully in less than 2 days. Please spay and neuter your pets, the shelters are full. Adopt, don't buy!

I am with a rescue that does TNR for the community cats in our area. This team consists of a small number of dedicated and compassionate ladies that work their butts off! Their services are offered at a lower cost, making it possible for low income people to do the responsible thing by getting their pets spayed/neutered. They travel often to provide these services to surrounding areas as well. In regards to the negative comment written by Rachel M., I just have to say that I am the one that actually arrived with the cats the morning the office was closed. I text one of the ladies there and she immediately responded and offered to remedy the situation. I was completely satisfied with that and not at all bothered by the situation. Mistakes happen, we’re all human. Not to mention that this appointment was tentatively scheduled over a month ago. In no way, shape or form should one particular incident define this organization and these wonderful women that have done so much for the community! Even though it’s a little bit of a drive, it’s absolutely worth the care and service that I receive from them!

I have nothing but good things to say about this business . I wish I could remember the woman’s name who took care of my baby girl , but even after the procedure I was having concerns (turned out to be absolutely nothing I was just worried for nothing ) and she went out of her way to speak with me and give me remarkable customer service . She made sure I knew she was gonna be ok! I was so scared to get my baby girl fixed , I was full of anxiety before during and after lol and the staff accommodated my needs wonderfully . Also they have better prices than anyone in my local area , I had to travel to get the procedure done and it was 100 percent worth it ! If I ever need a pet fixed I will def only be coming back ! Thank you ladies at D snip !!!

These folks really love animals, and it shows in how they handle them. My five-month-old kitten, Guinevere, was a rescue from one of their missions to the Gallup, New Mexico area. She recovered quickly from her spaying and is as rowdy as ever. I'm very grateful.

Had cats transported from Cortez to Durango this morning after a day and evening of trapping within our colony, which is emotionally draining for myself, my neighbor , and my hubby. Was notified the office was closed upon arrival and then that the Dr had changed schedules without notifying of the change. This TNR was scheduled and involved three trappers, coordination from the neighbors and trapping program, rescheduling of work and colony feedings, and of course the strays who were trapped, transported, and spent the night in traps to be seen this morning. This was my 1st experience with this company though I have heard good things about their low cost and free services for the area.
