How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Alta 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.
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.

Do NOT bring your bunny/rabbit here. I needed an emergency vet, and unfortunately, the vet hospital I normally take my bunny to was closed, so I had no choice but to bring him here. Everything seemed fine until he was called in. At my usual vet hospital, I am always asked to take my bunny out of his carrier. At this place, the vet tech decided to take him out, but instead of picking him up correctly (one hand under the chest and the other hand under the bottom), the vet tech picked my baby up BY THE SKIN OF HIS NECK. This is EXTREMELY dangerous for bunnies/rabbits, and it can cause permanent damage. I freaked out and told the vet tech to be careful. For the rest of the appointment, the vet tech held onto my bunny, but he was not gentle at all. Thankfully, my bunny was not injured by this careless, incompetent vet tech, but ever since then, I have regretted taking him here and not taking serious action against that vet tech. I wish I knew his name (vet tech was a young male), but please, for your bunny's sake, do not take the risk of coming here. My heart hurts every time I think about what happened. If I could, I would give this place negative stars.

Great experience. Not a long wait with a scheduled appointment vet was fast and precise. Helped me with my elderly cat.

If I could give less stars I would. Took my dog in to get Spayed and they then giving the option for anesthesia ( there is a fee for it) and charge extra for pain medication, even after the spay by its self is already 400. Next when I picked up my dog, they sent me home with out a cone or even offered one to me, so on the drive home, my dog is licking her wound and I noticed how poorly the stitches were( too far apart ). so because they didn't provide a cone after spending over 500 dollars, I have to buy one, i went to petco and they don't have one that is the correct size. Now because of their lack of care and awareness, my dog has an infection on the incision. In conclusion, I will not be taking another animal to this vet. In fact I recommend to anyone, if you love your pet don't take them here.

This is my go to vet for all my pets. Doctor is very caring and great communication. He really loves animals and it shows. His staff is always friendly and helpful. His prices are fair. I love that they have weekend and evening appointments available. Has made it much more convenient for appointments without me missing work. I dropped Abby due to extreme price hike and have now been with Alta 2 years. Very pleased with service.
