How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Red Hill Animal Health Center

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.

Thank goodness for Red Hill Animal Health Center. Dr Breeland (and her daughter, who was her wonderful helper for the day) literally saved our dog, Bella's life. We brought Bella in very early in the morning, barely able to breathe and left with her at the end of the day on the road to recovery. We can't thank this establishment, and Dr. Breeland enough for helping our little girl out in her time of need. If we could recommend Red Hill Animal Health Center higher than 5 stars, we would. HIGHLY recommend it here.

I found myself in an awful situation. I live in NY and was visiting Colorado. My 5 year old chihuahua went in to respiratory distress on a Sunday Night before July 4th, a Tuesday. We visit Colorado frequently, but her vet was closed for the Holiday. I spent all night calling vets and "on call" vets to only get voice mails. My dog was in very bad shape. (Note: she had an xray in NY before I left and I was told she was "ok." I never should have listened.) After being up all night we got in the car and drove to Red Hill. They opened at 7am. I was in tears. I walked in and two women greeted me and took my dog and assured me she was in a good place and in good hands. Dr. Breeland would become her vet. She took charge and gave thorough explanation for everything that she was doing for my dog. At that point she had no records. She only had what I was telling her while my NY vet sent her the records she needed. This office saved my dogs life. Dr Breeland arranged for my dog to have overnight care at VEPC with Dr. Ali (review to follow-also excellent.) Red Hill and Dr Breeland are a permanent fixture for my little girl going forward. It was a terrible circumstance but im so grateful that we found them.

Red Hill Animal is nothing short of amazing! I did significant research for finding a place for our two dogs to stay while we stayed with friends in the Aspen area. This is highly recommended by the locals and I see why. Upon our first visit and interactions the staff was attentive and intuitive about our dogs. We spent 15 minutes talking thru the quirks and specifics of our animals along with any relevant medical history. We did the VIP boarding which includes a daily email, playtime and personalized exercise. My only suggestion, would to be to receive daily photos or videos or your animals. The daily email is a bit soft for what I would expect for a VIP experience. Thank you for loving our special pets and they had an amazing experience!

If I could give you a rating of 100, I would! Julia is amazing with all types of animals, but especially my 'special case' of a malamute Ms. Echo. Mals can be a bit unique in their moods, yet Julia can navigate them and has trained the team to navigate them as well. I also know that Ms. Echo will receive her proper medications and food to keep her healthy, I have the utmost trust in Red Hill and I thank everyone there, most especially Julia!

My dog goes to doggy daycare here regularly and also sees Dr. May. The kennel staff is amazing with him. He can be temperamental and they did a great job of easing him into playtime when he first started going years ago. Dr. May always gives us different options for treatment, listens, and answers questions. The entire staff is very professional and accommodating to both humans and dogs. I am so grateful to have such an awesome vet and kennel in town!
