How to Save Money at Arroyo Veterinary Clinic
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.

well we are disappointed, the vet tech came in and took our dog away to check temp and draw blood for heart worm test, when our dog came back she was super upset and growled at the tech. when the doctor came in she didn't introduce herself our tell us what she was doing, we had to mussel the dog cause she was still so upset. our dog has never growled at us or strangers before this visit. the dog didn't get a treat until after the visit (way too late then). our vet back home comes into the room giving treats before anything happens, and all shots, blood draws and exams happen with us in the room so the dog knows they are safe. staff is friendly but did to introduce themselves and tell us what and why they are doing something, office is very nice and clean. very difficult to make an appointment; called 4 times and left messages, emailed all with no response, 1 last phone call and they finally answered the phone. keep in mind healthcare in Las Cruces is about 30 years behind so this is probably the best vet clinic in town.

Arroyo Vet Clinic was completely booked but dropped everything for our pet's medical emergency. Our former vet, Animal Hospital of Las Cruces, said they were too busy and referred us to El Paso, an hour away, after our Shepherd was bitten by a rattlesnake. Annie is lucky to be alive. Arroyo responded humanely to our emergency.

I am new in town and wanted to establish a relationship with a new vet right away. I was very impressed with the whole operation. The vet was wonderful and answered all my questions and the staff was very attentive.
