How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Rise Vet
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.

Our visit with Dr. MacDonald was outstanding. My dog Ruby has many complicated issues. Dr. MacDonald sat on the floor with Ruby and me, did a thoughtful and through exam and made a plan to solve our problem. Dr. MacDonald took her time, worked to make things as affordable as possible, was so kind to Ruby and she is very smart. Highly recommend Rise Vet!

We are so lucky to have Rise Vet as our primary care vet. Every time our dog has an issue, they’re able to get her in the same or next day. I love their transparent pricing, where they’ll show you the costs for each procedure and compassionately advise you on the best decision for your pup. The interior is so welcoming and I love everyone that works here!! Highly recommend!

Our two cats were both suddenly not doing well and we’re in the middle of almost a week of trying to treat and figure out the issue(s). Reception, techs, and Dr. M have all been incredibly kind, compassionate, thorough, and knowledgeable. The care for my cats and for me as a human being that they have consistently shown has been greatly appreciated that I had to come on here and write one of the very few reviews I’ve ever written!

We can't say enough good things about Rise Vet! We started coming here when we moved to Boulder and they've been wonderful with our dog Whistler. He is a nervous guy and Dr. Schuster and the team are so sweet and patient with him. They are always able to get us in quickly and everyone is so kind and professional. You can tell the people here love what they do and love your pet!

Rise Vet saved our girl! Our cat showed some concerning symptoms yesterday and Rise made room in between appointments to evaluate her, escalated her care when they realized it was emergent and ultimately transferred her to a surgical specialist at CASE when they discovered her obstruction was in too complex of an area for them to operate on. They did an amazing job at keeping us updated and we felt very supported during a very stressful time. Our pet had a positive outcome because of their flexibility to see her and quick actions when it became serious. We are forever grateful and deeply appreciate all you do! You care about our fur babies as much as we do and it shows!
