How to Save Money at Animal Hospital of Colorado Springs

Schedule Regular Vet Visits

One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.

Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions

Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.

Pet Insurance

Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Getting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask

Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:

Tell me about your experience with [pet type].

Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.

How do you handle emergencies?

You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.

How do you communicate with pet owners?

Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.

Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?

Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.

Do you have any questions for me about my pet?

This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.

Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?

Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

We absolutely love Animal Hospital of Colorado Springs! We have been seeing Dr. Dan since moving to Colorado 8 years ago. Dr. Dan has been with us through good times and the worst times when we have had to put our animals down. Dr. Dan takes his time to answer questions and has so much empathy. He is always supportive and answers the tough questions like “what would you do if it were your pet.” I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Dan and how personable and knowledgeable he is. Staff are super responsive via phone and email when I need info for insurance or just have a question. Animal Hospital of Colorado Springs is a little pricier but we are happy to pay that due to the amazing care they get at AHCS.

Such an amazing animal hospital! All of the staff was friendly and welcoming! They got our dog buddy in the same week we called and took their time with him! Thank you all for being absolutely amazing! We will definitely recommend you to everyone to take care of their fur babies!

Dr. Dan and the staff is AMAZING! We have taken all of our animals here for years and have never had a bad experience. Our dog Tater had to have a leg removed and chemo due to cancer. I couldn’t have asked for a better Vet guiding us along the way and the knowledge they shared with us. Would recommend to anyone with a 2 or 4 legged family member!

I came here because my dog was having issues with itching and no vets in the Pueblo/Cañon City area were accepting new pet patients. Dr. Patterson and all of the vet techs have been awesome. They keep my puppy, Puppy, happy and healthy and up-to-date with all of her shots. I’m a first time puppy owner so I always come in armed with questions and concerns and she (Dr. Patterson) always takes the time to listen and get everything addressed before I leave. As long as I’m living in this area, I’ll come here for my veterinarian needs.

We have been bringing our pets here for 7 years and will continue to see Dr. Dan and his team! We recently had a major scare with our 3yo lab mix, and they were able to get her seen immediately, and she's already on her path to wellness! We are very impressed with their efficiency and treatment plans. Thank you to everyone at AHCS!
