How to Save Money at Valley Animal Hospital
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.

This place is the BEST! I only wish I had found them sooner. Before I over paid at other veterinary offices in the valley. They are fairly priced, and don't try to nickel and dime you for everything they do. I feel comfortable with every Dr. In this office. They are ALL very nice, thorough, highly trained and competent with all your needs. I love this office ! I can't say enough about how nice everyone is. The whole staff is just as nice and welcoming. Never have to wait a week or 2 to get in. Love the scheduling as well. There should be more offices like this one in the valley.

Caring and professional. Helped me through the difficult process of helping my elderly German Shepherd with his end-of-life. I have immense respect for these wonderful people.

A friend passed away leaving behind two very old cats who were in less than optimal health. I started calling vets right away to schedule euthanasia so these cats weren’t far behind their dad. Not until calling a 6th office did I hear good news. Such a relief. Jay helped me inside. Patty took payment. Dr. Margaret agreed that these cats should be let go. It was a peaceful process. I am so very thankful that my emergency request for an unpleasant appointment was met with grace and ease. The staff were all calm and friendly. The exam room was clean.

Very disappointed. Took my dog in for wellness check and dental. Other than taking temperature and looking at teeth, no other exam was done. Paid $61 for the "exam" and then was quoted $1400-1500 for dental. This clinic didnt leave me with a high level of confidence so took him to another vet and during that exam (which included chip scan, temp., heart, joint manipulation, eyes, ears, teeth, AND bloodwork) she found a heart murmur. This exam too cost $61 and was definitely worth it but as a 1st time customer, I received a free 1st exam coupon from Banfield.
