How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Alpine Pet Hospital

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.

We are so grateful to have found Dr Bimal Chhetri and team in 2020 when he went above and beyond to save my young cat from a deadly illness. A few months later I adopted a puppy. In 2022 my dog was in an emergency situation and Dr Chhetri and his team jumped right into action and saved my dog! He has proven on multiple occasions now that he is an amazing Vet. His entire team is wonderful and caring! We highly recommend Alpine Pet Hospital for your pet's best care and health. Heartfelt THANKS to our Alpine Pet Hospital team!

Dr. Bimal Chhetri has to be the kindest and most thoughtful vet I've ever met. I recently had to have my puppy euthanized due to genetic defective kidneys and Dr. Bimal made a very difficult painful situation bearable due to being so thoughtful. He explained things so well that I was prepared and very well informed before the procedure took place. Dr. Bimal, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you did to try to save my little girl Frankie. I will always remember how Frankie and I were treated by you and your staff.💕❤️

Dr. Bimmel and staff at Alpine Vet Hospital are kind, knowledgeable and really seem to care. As I usually have Rescues my dogs come with lots of challenging issues. I really count on good, solid advice that helps me make some decisions I can feel good about. I would highly recommend Dr. Bimmel and Alpine Vet Hospital
