How to Save Money at Mountain View Animal Clinic

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.

I am so thankful I decided to start taking my dogs to Mountain View in the last year or so. I have only received such high quality care from Dr. Amy and her team, which I had never received from any other vets I’ve been to in Tucson in the past since I moved to Vail in 2015. I have a Doberman, chihuahua, and Pomeranian, and her and her team truly do treat them like their own. They’re very knowledgeable, efficient, and reasonable. It is also clear that they enjoy what they do. I have already recommended them to friends and family.

Good experience meeting Dr. Bob for my dog Duke. He was quite busy with that day and I had appointment and had been waiting for 6 weeks to get in. Yet I had to wait for more time than I thought and I accepted their apology as you never know if another's pet is in more urgent need than your 'own just okay' pet. I Hope to keep this Vet for long term, nice service and worth the wait for this time.

First time to this Veterinary Clinic to establish care for recently re-homed pup. Support staff and Dr. Bob are professional and personal. Very happy with service and reasonable fees.

Just moved to Vail from the metro-Phoenix area. So pleasantly surprised to find a really friendly, "hometown" practice. The staff are professional and caring. After coming from clinics which seem more like factories, this is a refreshing change. The doctor took time to explain and make sure my questions were answered and even asked for a email follow-up. They did not push additional prescriptions or services. The one thing I would change is to be able to stay my pet during the exam.

Dr. Amy, Dr. Bob, and everyone at the clinic are caring, knowledgeable, compassionate, and professional! Both of my dogs have been well cared for in the past three years we’ve been going here. They are thorough and take the time to talk things through and answer your questions. I definitely recommend Mtn View!
