How to Save Money at VCA Highlands Ranch Animal Specialty & Emergency Center
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.

My dog ate a Christmas light while decorating. I called VCA to see what the best course of action was. Hope was AMAZING! She could've easily just said "We would need to see her in person" like so many other ER vets will do BUT she instead answered all my questions and concerns and gave us the best course of action for our baby. It's now been 2 days and our baby is happy, healthy, and NOT eating anymore Christmas lights. Thank you so much Hope! I truly can't express how much I appreciate your patience and compassion for our fur baby's

Dr. Lori Winborne was fantastic this evening as we rushed our young puppy, Lilly, to the vet after vomiting and neurological issues. She was seen quickly and a diagnosis was made after listening to our concerns and an exam. We are thankful for the care they gave Lilly!

I want to say first off that my visit to VCA Highlands Ranch involves helping my cat Ollie pass. Not a happy experience by any means, but an important one. Dr. Baumgardner and Brittany really impressed my wife and I with their compassion and professionalism. Dr Baumgardner helped us make the best medical decisions for Ollie and also make his passing as kind to both him and my wife and I as possible. I'm not going to go into details as the experience is still quite raw, but I wanted to make sure to call out just how much we appreciated everything he did to help us navigate an awful situation. While I don't wish our circumstances on anyone, we couldn't have been in better hands. Thank you for everything. I did include a picture of Ollie before he got sick, because this is how I'd like for him to be remembered.

The best! Dr. Williams is amazing, kind and caring. Our vet did surgery on our dog and the next day our dog had some issues. Our vet (Greenwood Village Vets) would not look at her at all and told us to take her to the ER. VCA Highlands ranch saw her right away and determined that the bandage was too tight and the post op instructions we were given were wrong. They treated her quickly and efficiently. Will always come here if needed

Every person working at this clinic is incredibly kind. We originally went to see Roxane in dentistry and she brought in Brian Young to help assist with our dogs diagnosis. They took the time to hear what our dog had been dealing with and walk us through every issue and next step. We deeply appreciated the care and attention we experienced for the kind humans at this vet today.
