How to Save Money at Mule Mountain 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.

Great vet! We were in Bisbee on vacation with our dog that apparently developed an ear infection. We spotted this place after driving by and they were able to get us right in with no appointment and get us on our way quickly. The vet and staff were very friendly, helpful, and informative on how to prevent ear infections in the future. The price was also very reasonable. We would definitely recommend and go back if we lived in the area.

Wonderful place. I'd never been there, but I had an emergency and was able to get right in! They were very caring and took care of my Chihuahua. He's as good as new now! From now on, they will be both my dogs vet.

Had Kit D Kat spayed at this animal hospital. Price was reasonable and staff were friendly and helpful. I took pictures of other pet owners and their pets thinking they share some resemblance.

I called and made appointment to have 3rd rabies shot and toenails clipped on my 5 yr old heeler mix, I didn’t want a full examination because my dog is healthy without any ailments and I am on fixed income that’s not enough to survive on. I get the rabies shot because we live rural and mice rats and skunks are here. So the first appointment 4 pm on Tuesday was not in their books, I had it in my phone calendar so I know I made the appointment. I could understand why, the place was very very busy, like too busy and unorganized and my dog and I both don’t like going to or being at the vet so after 30 minutes I suggested we come back another time when not so overwhelmed she said ok next Tuesday 4pm, great. I arrived 3:45 the next Tuesday again the front desk was a madhouse. I sat there listening to her talk to another woman. I announced my appointment, sat there for 15 min got a room sat in there 15 min girl came in and did best she could on paws, my dog is fidgeting so got about 1/2 done, she suggested the dog needed a break my dog was stressed and breathing hard. She left waited 15 min with stressed dog the girl and vet appeared and he immediately started examining my dog looking in ears and wanting to get temperature and such asking about diet etc …the dog leapt off the table and the exam was finished but all the things he thinks he can make money on, he had the nerve to ask where I lived ? Was I east of his office he asked? Meaning Old Bisbee where all the new money is, lol trying to profile my status lol. If he found something wrong with my dog and he didn’t, even though I never asked for an exam just shots and nails clipped he charged me $49 for the exam I never asked for or agreed to. I then asked about the cash deal for clipping he said he’d waive the clipping as she only got 1/2 done. So $90 for shots and the unwanted exam. If my dog is unwell I will bring her to the vet but I will not bring my dog back here to this vet because he doesn't do what I ask, he just does what he pleases and charges more and more and more. Should have just been $50 for shots and nails, no need to see the vet. The girl who tried to cut her nails was nice and helpful but the rest ie the vet and front desk staff, yuk.
