How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Goldorado Animal 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.

Our experience with Goldorado Animal Hospital was amazing. This was our first visit with our 7 yr old Dachshund and they treated her and us like gold. Our regular vet wanted to make us wait for several days before seeing our little girl for a back issue. She was in severe pain and needed treatment as soon as possible and allowing her to suffer for several days was out of the question. We called Golodorado Animal Hospital and they were extremely friendly, compassionate and responsive. They got us in the same day and were able to take care of our sweet dachshund with minimal stress. They, like all other vet facilities, are working under new procedures with the Covid-19 issues, but they have the whole process down to a science and a well oiled machine. We are extremely pleased with Goldorado Animal Hospital and will return if needed. We will also freely express to our friends and family to do the same with their precious family pets. Thank you so much, Team Goldorado, for taking the time to treat our pets as if they were your own.

We have only praise for all of the staff at Goldorado. We also bring our dogs to be groomed by Sandy. We thank you enough for always going above and beyond when it comes to our fur babies. 10 is not a high enough number for our level of satisfaction. We recommend all of you always. Thank you Kim and john mccabe 😊

I love this place. The doctor is a family friend and he really cares about the animals. My dog Ace is just the happiest guy and they take care of both his medical needs and his grooming! Grooming is a little pricey compared to like Petco, but they have a real professional groomer on staff.

I don't know what's happening recently but customer service has really gone down. Leave you on hold forever. Hard to get prescription refill just really gone down hill

I've only started coming here, it is a very nice facility. They were very understanding on clearing the room so my reactive dog can come in. Dr. Miller and her techs were super nice and gentle. It is nice to find a force free vet close by. I was able to request a report card of what was done at my visit so I can keep up my records, so I was thankful for that.
