How to Save Money at El Paso Animal Urgent Care West

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.

Dr. Gallegos, the techs, Blanca and Robert at the front desk were all amazing. They all treated us and my dog with great care, and a calmness that helped with a scary situation. Dr. Gallegos was extremely thorough to make sure my dog didn’t have any issues we couldn’t see and made sure to keep my dog comfortable and taken care of. They went over everything to make sure we understood and got him back there so quickly to triage him. Myself and Sancho are so grateful for this team 🤍

I took my pup in last minute earlier after he got ahold of my pills. The staff were amazing. My dog was brought back immediately and while I was waiting, they explained every step of the process which helped ease my anxiety. I've had pretty horrible experiences at emergency vet clinics before. This was the best vet experience I've had. Very quick and thorough care. Thank you to everyone at El Paso Animal Urgent Care for helping my boy. I feel much better now knowing he is taken care of rather than guessing.

Dr. Ellis and team of amazing techs saved our dog, Milton’s, life after a bad rattle snake bite. We will be forever grateful. Dr. Ellis was 10/10 above and beyond in a high pressure situation. We are also happy to pay the fair fee for the lifesaving treatment. A week after the bite Milton is back to his normal happy self. Thanks again to this amazing staff

Dr. Gallegos and her team are amazing. They were so kind and gentle with my Thor. He has cancer and the meds she prescribed have made a world of difference. I am so happy to see him back to being his old self. Highly recommend Animal Urgent Care!

My baby boy, Fergus Mor, wasn't feeling his normal self. Dr Mason, Angie, and staff were fantastic with him. Everything was explained in detail. I felt my stress levels lessen the moment I was greeted. Fergus & I give 100% approval!!!
