How to Save Money at Red Butte Veterinary Care
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.

Dr. Brandt is an incredibly skilled and compassionate veterinarian. Without a doubt she saved my dog’s life after a sudden onset of bloat with his stomach flipping. Dr. Brandt and her team were able to perform an emergency surgery to save my dog’s life. My family will be forever grateful.

Shannon, the receptionist, was beyond helpful! We really appreciated how kind and patient she was with helping us navigate our dogs potential allergic reaction. Honestly, we had such a positive experience with how she treated us and our dog with a last minute appointment over the phone, even though this vet office is farther than our normal one, it was clear to see how well managed and organized it is which would make the longer drive worth it.

My review is for Dr. Gregg! Every time I bring my dogs to see him he is so kind, thorough, and patient. He is only usually in on Wednesdays (I think) and is so worth the wait. I wish he was at the clinic full time, he is seriously the best. I tend to worry a lot about my pups, especially my older dog who is approaching senior status. Each and every time I come in with the dogs he listens to my concerns, evaluates the pups, and then gives a detailed explanation of what he thinks his happening. He often draws diagrams for me and sits with me to make sure I understand what is happening to my dog (not per my request either- he’s just that awesome). He references research based practices and always provides me with options for how to best proceed with my pups. I have never experienced a more gentle and wonderful veterinarian than Dr. Gregg. Our household loves every interaction we have with him. He’s helped our dogs to be the healthiest and happiest they can possibly be, and treats us with respect and patience. If he leaves the practice we will likely seek another vet in the valley. His care, along with Cordtsy’s care for our dogs, are the only reason we continue to come to Red Butte. They are both really lovely, as are the receptionists.

Honestly, I was very hesitant bringing our dogs here at first, solely based on the reviews. Our dogs are our family, and we want to give them the best care. But after the first visit with our youngest dog, we immediately set another appointment for our rescue. They've been nothing but kind! We absolutely LOVE Red Butte Vet and will be taking our dogs here forever! The techs are so attentive and caring towards pets. The vet herself is very straightforward, in and out of the room. But we like that in a vet. We've had awful experiences in the past with vets in the area/SLC, but as soon as we walked in, we knew our dogs would be taken care of. It's hard having a rescue pitbul, and she's very nervous around new places and people. But as soon as the staff walked in, Willow immediately went to them for love and affection. She didn't even flinch once! I'm so happy with the care we've received and will be coming back for as long as we can! Thank you for being so kind to us and our four-legged family members! You've made taking the dogs to the vet so easy and stress free!

Stella, my 85 lb. German Shepard mix is of the nervous type. She gets EXTREME anxiety at the vet and shakes terribly. Everytime I come here, the staff is so patient, gentle and kind. It’s so hard for Stella, she gets terrified. It’s been so refreshing to have a staff that handles her with care and doesn’t look at her like an inconvenience. Stella and I have been going to Red Butte for 4 years and will continue to. The staff and the doctor have always been super helpful and reasonably priced. Thank you for always being so kind and helpful Red Butte!
