How to Save Money at VCA Apache 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.

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.

This team has been a life saver for us and our very anxious dog. After having a horrible experience at another vets office, the VCA team has gone above and beyond to be compassionate, patient, and understanding to ensure our dog gets the treatment he needs. They treat every animal uniquely and do everything they can to make visits a positive experience not only for the animal but the parents as well. So thankful for each of you!

I want to applaud these people here! My 18 year old cat Rain has been very sick and back in June of this year I found a lump. She's been to a specialist in Tucson and also another Vet in town but no one was sure what it was and did not recommend any test. This Vetenarian showed so much concern and care because the lump on her neck around her chin area had increased in size and she could barely eat. They did an xray and were going to do a biopsy of the lump but unfortunately found she has cancer all through her body. The Vetenarian said its not her time and gave me everything she needed to care for her at home plus help with any pain. I'm happy to report exactly a week from her diagnosis today she's showing signs of improvement! Yes she may not have much longer but she's in great spirits, feeling better, putting weight back on and eating her prescription diet on her own. Thank you so much for all you have done! It may be only a little extra time with her but every day is a gift! I attached photos of her I took today, look how wonderful she looks now thanks to all of you!

The staff was so gentle and considerate at a time that was hard for our family. One of our pets had an injury that wasn't able to recover from, and they allowed us to come in, stay in the room with, and euthanize all with gentle understanding and thoughtfulness of our loss. They went the extra mile for us, and I'll recommend them to anyone who needs pet care done with giant hearts of love. Thank you so much VCA Apache Animal Hospital. The O'Brien's and (Jack)

We moved back to Sierra Vista and had called our old vet (will not mention) and was told I would have to set up care again and then schedule an appointment for our dogs anti itch injection. When I called VCA this was a whole new experience. Not only was I permitted to make an appointment for her injections but I had all the assistance I needed to transfer our dogs records. When we in for our appointment. This is where customer service is at its best. The doctor actually sat down and discussed our animals care. I couldn’t believe the time everyone was willing to spend with us to make sure my animal was comfortable and relaxed. I want to thank everyone for their care, compassion and a level of expertise we all want for our fur babies. Thank you!

The Apache team loved our puppy just as much as we did. He was a sick little guy but they took really good care of him. The staff was responsive and caring. They were able to get us in the office the same day we called and answered my phone calls in between visits. They answered all of our questions and made us feel supported through all of the ups and downs. Ultimately, our pup was just too little (1lb) and too weak to win his battle but I felt better knowing that he was truly cared for along the way. Thank you guys ❤️
