How to Save Money at Mountain View Veterinary Health Center - Providence
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.

First of all I can’t even begin to explain how much I love this vet. They’re all so kind. I moved to Utah on the whim with my dog who has previously been advised to take medication that calms her before going to the vet. However, since moving to this vet, she enjoys going in and happily trots right in with no issues. Alongside her we have recently adopted a foster puppy. We didn’t have much to work with as far as paperwork goes, but they saw him right away and got him all squared away for me. The staff always answers any questions I have and does a great job explaining what I don’t understand without hesitation. By far the best vet experience I’ve ever had. They always squeeze me in where I can since I work full time and go to school full time. I really appreciate the work they do to make my pets, and myself, feel comfortable going to them. Thank y’all so much! -Kate, Oliver, and Massy

After calling my previous veterinary regarding an emergency and them denying services for my dog because they were completely booked, I called Mountain View Veterinary and thankfully they were able to make room to see my dog same day. Ever since I have been taking my dog here and we have had great experiences! They are very respectful and take the health of my dog really seriously, which is exactly what i had been looking for. I recommend you try this veterinary clinic.

First off they make your dog feel special and treat them like they are special. Professional vet care with the experience and expertise backing them. I would never look anywhere else.

We took our new cat, Buttercup, for a wellness check after we rescued her from the Humane Society. She is 8 years old and had been at the shelter for 9 months. We were still quite new to each other, and I was hoping the vet visit would go well and not frighten her so that when we needed to bring her in the future she would not be scared. We showed up at our appointment a bit early and I was given a mountain of forms to fill out even though I had filled in those exact forms online. We had to stay in a very small waiting room with a frantic, barking dog that was on a leash, not in a carrier. They did have a towel sprayed with comforting pheromones to drape over Buttercup's carrier and I am grateful for that. We waited over an hour before we were shown into an exam room and a tech tried to get Buttercup's vitals. The tech seemed nervous and was unable to take Buttercup's temperature. She did offer Buttercup some cheese, but Buttercup wasn't interested. The tech left us in the exam room and we waited again for a very long time. There was another barking dog immediately outside the door. When the vet finally arrived she seemed able. It only took her a few minutes to examine Buttercup and pronounce her healthy but overweight. We discussed the appropriate amount of food for the kitty cat and talked about a few other concerns we had. Altogether, the vet was with us less than 10 minutes. She didn't try to connect with Buttercup and the cat was upset enough about the way she was being handled to nip the vet. We had warned everyone there that Buttercup bites when she doesn't like the way she is being touched. After the vet left we waited some more for a young lady to come and teach us how to trim Buttercup's claws. We had said we would like this instruction when we made the appointment and I don't know why they didn't teach us while we were waiting for the vet. Overall, I felt that the people there did not respect our time, nor did they treat Buttercup gently enough. It bothered me a great deal that they would have us in the same space as barking dogs for such an extended period of time.
