How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Valley Emergency Pet Care

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.

Dr. Ali and Dr. Cox took excellent care of my chihuahua, Bella. Bella was I'm respiratory distress and a patient at Red Hill, an excellent veterinarian group. She was transferred to overnight care under the supervision of Dr. Ali and next day care under the supervision of Dr. Cox. Both Doctors provided details and explanations for the treatments they were providing. They were invested in helping Bella. The communication was and continues to be excellent as we navigate this experience. The staff is warm, friendly and calm. I knew Bella was in good hands. I recommend them far more than 5 stars.

Had a pet emergency. They took great care of our dog. Hopefully we don't have another emergency but will not hesitate to use the clinic if we do.

Brought my pup in last night, who had found some dark chocolate. He’s fairly reactive with strangers, doesn’t like new people holding him, but boy, did he LOVE the redhead! (was so stressed, I forgot her name) They took great care of him and got him to get whatever was left back up. He came home that night and started improving, and this afternoon he was his normal happy self. I’m so grateful to them both, seeing my dog ok again is the biggest relief ever. Very professional, got the job done, and wasn’t nearly as expensive as I would expect for an urgent 10:30pm vet visit in the dumping snow. I will absolutely use them for any urgent/off hour vet needs, even though they’re 45m away! Monkey appreciates them too, he’s glad to be his happy self again, too! And he’s glad he didn’t have to bite anyone, too.

It super sucks when your furry best friend gets a nasty injury, especially on Christmas Eve. They were open, thank gosh, but there was a 4 hour wait, and it had been that way all day. I appreciate how hard that whole team was working that day. I just wished there wasn't such a long wait for my pup to get stitched up and comfortable.
