How to Save Money at CVCA Wheat Ridge

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.

Freyja, my Great Dane doggo, has had her heart checked yearly for the last couple of years. She loves to visit and gets treated better than I do. Dr Dixon was very helpful in answering my questions an raved over Freyja, going above and beyond in working with my baby. Great place and great folks!

The news came, our little girl had a heart issue; Nana, a rescue, survived parvo with her brother from the pound we adopted them from. PetCardia was our answer. From the initial call to the first appointment, we were given the highest quality of care for our baby. Dr. Amy Dixon-Jimenez educated us, giving the pros and cons of the procedure Nana would require. She and her staff prepared and assured us throughout the entire process. It has been two years, and Nana continues to shine! She enjoys life playing with her other fur family. And we are blessed to have her in our lives. Each time we visit, the staff acknowledges Nana with her name on a sign, welcomes her back, and greets her, letting her know her life is a priority. I don’t remember every name, yet we have to share how grateful we are to have found PetCardia, from the front desk to Morgan, especially Dr. Amy Dixon-Jimenez. What a fantastic staff! And with a humbled heart, thank you! I know Nana and her brother(s) do too.

As always CVCA and all the employees are wonderful!! I have a Sphynx cat that has heart issues and he is now 9 years old all because Dr Dixon has taken care of him since his heart murmur was detected by my veterinarian over 7 years ago! He's happy, loving, social and my pride and joy. I am convinced that he is thriving all due to the staff at CVCA.💖💖

It was hard for me to tell who was more nervous on our trip to CVCA, me or Maxine our dog. We had been referred there for a heart murmur. We were immediately put at ease on entering the facility. A warm greeting was enhanced by seeing Maxine’s name on a white board in reception directing us where to check in. The entire staff was great. Their friendly approach and patience while explaining what was going to take place was focused on communication. Dr LaFauci was fantastic as she explained what we were looking at during the echo cardio imaging. The good news was that while there are some issues non of them are earth shaking. If you are looking for a caring veterinary setting with great communication skills CVCA Wheat Ridge is the place to go.

Everyone was amazing! We were here for our first consultation/ check in. My dog is seen at Wheatridge in their oncology appointment and was diagnosed with DCM while receiving chemo treatments and had scheduled both appointments on the same day since we live pretty far to lessen the back and forth. Our appointment was running a little behind but both teams were helpful and tag teamed to ensure the CVCA team were able to get their tests done to share my results with me. I was probably more nervous than my dog but Morgan, GiAnna, Dr. Dixon were all so helpful and thorough! Thank you for a great first experience! Hoping for a good update when we return in 6 months!
