How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Tucson Veterinary Specialists
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

The clean, spacious facility, high technology, kind staff & knowledgeable Dr.s all make this a top notch pet care facility for neurological and spinal issues. Dr. Alcott diagnosed & treated our beagle's calcified disc in the same appointment. Surgery took a few hours, & our beagle returned home with us that evening. She was back to herself again within days! I only wish I hadn't waited so long (5 weeks) to see if our Vet diagnosed "bulging disc" situation resolved itself with steroids, pain relief & rest/inactivity. Our beagle continued to be in pain, hung her head, panting with her tongue hanging out most of those days. If your fur baby is in a similar situation, I highly recommend this facility to get a proper diagnosis and care. The MRI & surgery was costly (over $5K), but luckily our Trupanion pet insurance covered/reimbursed 90%.

In May our Jack-Chi Taiji jumped off the bed. ER vet offered no hope. His back legs were paralyzed. Reg vet got us a referral to Dr Alcott. He was seen asap for surgery that night. In a few days he was up and wobbly. Today he is playing ball and running around joyfully. .Dr Alcott was a blessing and we are so grateful. 5 stars is not enough!

5 stars is NOT enough. I don't wanna say what they did when they went so incredibly above and beyond for me as I don't want people hassling them. They know what they did for my frenchie Allie last night. But I'm eternally grateful. Allie went paralyzed from ivdd yesterday. And Dr Alcott and I believe the receptionist (marissa?), it's killing me I can't remember her name are literal angels. They gave my angel an mri and she was sent off to emergency spine surgery. She's recovering at the hospital rn and I'm beyond eager to go get her. I've been to dozens of vets, hundreds of Dr's, worked at mayo clinic, taught pharmacy, and I've NEVER experienced the compassion Dr Alcott and his team gave us last night. Words cannot even describe my gratitude and just everything. I wish I could do endless nice things for them to thank them. Literal angels saved my baby when every other vet in tucson and in phoenix turned their backs on us. I cannot thank you all enough. You have my eternal gratitude. I love you all so much!

My dog is very reactive and has seizures and the people here were wonderful! I really can't say enough good things about Tucson Veterinary Specialists and Dr. Alcott. Everyone, including the receptionist, was wonderful to us and my dog. They really care about the animals.
