How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Horizon Veterinary Clinic

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

After calling several veterinarian clinics, Horizon was able to give us an appointment for our dog because of a cancellation. The Dr and her aide were very friendly and knowledgeable and not only treated our pooch like she was their own, but also treated us with respect. They have an in-house Lab (not the retriever kind🤣), so we were able to get the dog's blood work results back the same day (Saturday), which was a plus. Great service! Update on our sweet Molly Brown: she just wasn't doing well, so we had to take her in to have her put down in October of 2022. The people here were very understanding and compassionate, attending to our dog's needs as well as ours. They gave us as much time as we needed to say goodbye to our favorite dog. When it came time to actually put her down, I just couldn't stay in the room, so my husband stayed with her during the whole time.🐕🕊️😢 The veterinarian and the aides were absolutely amazing as they took care of Molly. They did her paw print in plaster, and it even has some of the Colorado clay dirt that was on her paws when we brought her in. They included a sweet card signed by the staff along with Molly's ashes. Outstanding service and compassionate attention to the animals as well as their owners.

About there weeks ago we had to put down our Oreo. He lived to about 20 years old. Old awesome kitty. The compassion was very helpful. 😞Yesterday took our puppy-dogs in to get their nails cut again and the DMV did it and did it in about 15 minutes. Two Rottweilers! Awesome care and caring people!

My husband and I were visiting this vet since August 2022, but this year they had changed the whole team that works there. We had shown up with our dogs for their usual nail trims and were told we couldn’t return with one of our dogs until we had sent them her shot records. We haven’t been back since because it doesn’t feel right only having ONE of our dogs be able to visit this vet. Now we’re in the midst of changing back to our old vet that we were visiting in Aurora. The lady that told us off was so stern and it didn’t sit right with us with the way she treated us so we never returned.

I've been taking my pets to BH since 2009. I love every one of the doctors and staff. They are caring and thoughtful, always calling or texting after a procedure to see how my kiddos are doing. I wouldn't take my pets anywhere else.

Doctor Dowdy took care of my Shar Pei dogs Maia and Mishu for many years. He was very knowledgeable, compassionate and wonderful to both dogs, making them feel comfortable and loved during their visits. Dr.Dowdy performed an eye surgery on Mishu, which was successful. Mishu never had any issues with his eye ever again. I strongly recommend Dr. Dowdy if you live in Brighton area. Your pet(s) will be in great hands!
