How to Save Money at Alpine Veterinary 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.

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.

Above and beyond care, with fair prices. Our dog suffered a broken leg and after many weeks of treatment with the staff at Alpine vet he is on the road to a full recovery. Their flexibility and accommodation of our emergency and ongoing needs were unparalleled, and although we expected to spend a fortune the pricing here was incredibly reasonable - quite a bit less than anticipated. Best of all, the doctors and vet techs were top notch and took great care of our boy. We will forever be grateful!

Front desk staff is very friendly and helpful. The Vet and tech do so well with my pet. My dog is shy and nervous when meeting new people, and both the tech and the Vet take extra time to make her feel comfortable and loved with lots of treats and encouragement. They did a great job spaying her, and she healed up nicely. Would highly recommend them to everyone in the community.

Thoughtful and caring, they are just the best. We had to put our kitty down and they came to our house the same day. It was such a difficult time, losing my best friend, Beans. They were so compassionate and kind the whole time, so much understanding for what we were going through. A few weeks after we lost our kitty, we got a card from the vet office which everyone signed saying how sorry they were for our loss. I can't tell you how much this means to us, it really shows how much they care. Thank you so much!

My puppy had to be seen after hours for an emergency and these lovely ladies took time out of their lives to come back to see and treat my puppy ❤️. SO grateful to these wonderful souls for seeing and treating my puppy Athena ❤️❤️

I have a lab rescue who is traumatized and needed his toenails clipped bad. I helped to get a muzzle on him and he let them clip his nails! He trusts me but wouldn't let me do them for him. Fast and stress free, Blu is now catching balls at a much faster and comfortable way! Thank you Alpine! I will bring him back to get used to his pedicures❣️
