How to Save Money at Aspen Park Vet Hospital, Jena Questen DVM CertAqV, & Associates
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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.

Dr. Q and her amazing staff got my dog Kozmo in with no notice when we were returning from a camping trip where he tore a deep gash in is right leg. The courtesy to work him in late in the afternoon, provide such amazing care, clean him up and staple the wound got us all home safe and sound! Dr Q. also set us up with a cone-of-shame, antibiotics, probiotics, and pain relievers. Kozmo is doing GREAT, he's getting used to the cone and the wound is healing BEAUTIFULLY. Thank you Aspen Park Vet Hospital for caring for animals and people so well. We are grateful we found you!

We wanted to love this vet, as we like and appreciate the holistic approach. After our initial visit/diagnosis we found it very difficult to get a hold of Dr. Q when we had some serious health concerns with our pup. It took several days to get any kind of response back from this facility, and not from Dr. Q but the front desk staff (who were very kind and eager to help as much as they could), but we wanted to discuss our options and next steps with the doctor herself before committing to surgery or treatment - which was a big deal to us and should be taken seriously. After several back and forth interactions via email and calling in, we were still never able to talk with the doctor directly. Unfortunately we felt there was a lack of care, urgency and authenticity, which is not something we are interested in when it comes to the care of our fur baby. Edited (per response below): This is upsetting, and further solidifies our feelings regarding the lack of professionalism and authenticity. This was the first time we brought our dog in for this issue, and chose your vet because we wanted to go a more natural and holistic approach, and also wanted to find a vet that he felt more comfortable at. He is 85 lbs of nothing but love, but he does have anxiety at the vet. By no means was he a danger to your staff, so that was a ridiculous statement. You also work with horses, so I’m not sure why you felt the need to say his size was an issue. To clarify, we came to you with concerns and you sent us home with overpriced antibiotics and a topical cream that didn’t help his issue. From there you recommended laser therapy via email, which we felt was an aggressive approach for the early stages of his condition, which required 3 visits a week as an ongoing treatment. This is not feasible for the average person’s schedule, not to mention for my dog who has anxiety going to the vet, and this kind of treatment is also extremely expensive. This felt like a cash grab. After this recommendation was given to us we asked to speak to you about it and to discuss alternative solutions. It took several days of reaching out to your office to get any kind of response, and we never were able to speak with you directly to discuss this matter. Your records should show you that. In the meantime I took it upon myself to do my own research and speak with others who have also dealt with this condition and had success, and that is when I chose to go the route I did. I asked your office if you could write us a prescription for that medication, which I very much appreciate the ladies helping me see that through. At no point did I see Dr. Hunt(?) or any other vet at your facility, all communication was through your front staff. There was no follow up after the prescription was made (nor did I expect that), our business at your vet was done at that point. I don’t appreciate the exploitation of personal information on Google, but since its already out there I wanted to make sure the facts were straight for those considering visiting your practice with their beloved pets. For the record, our boy is seeing incredible results and is weening off all medications. We have been able to eliminate his allergies with a new raw diet, which we believe was the culprit for his other conditions. I would have expected exploring the root cause of his issues to be a first step from a holistic practice like yours, but I suppose that would be far less expensive and complicated than laser therapy. I appreciate the time you and your staff spent with us, but respectfully your practice isn't a good fit for us. We do wish you the best.

VERY POOR FOLLOW UP_ IF AT ALL. DO yourself and your pet a favor , look elsewhere as the attention isn't here ( It might even save your pets life!) Has to been the worst service and follow up I have ever seen from any Vet for ANY of my animals My partner brought in our dog Boomer and with an appointment waited almost 2 hours, then had to schedule a Ultrasound but couldn't get the Vet to provide results for over a week , even after numerous calls to the office, which the staff promising to have the Doc call us back. When she finally did, she said she was going to write an RX, which again after numerous calls, never did. I gave up and decided to go elsewhere and they wouldn't release the results of the ultrasound to me or my new Vet. Very unprofessional and very poor customer service . It shouldn't be this difficult to get a timely call or records that I paid over $600 for. Needless to say , VERY disappointed and will never refer people to this practice . (edit) Nice piece of fiction as a response. Because you did recommend a holistic diet , which we tried and again numerous follow up calls and even emails where answered " Sure , I will get the Doctor to call you back today, or I will send that information out to you right away.." You may stand by the customer service your staff provided , but is still unprofessional and substandard . And I do wish we read the feedback others had left before we took Boomer to your office, as it clearly looks like the treatment we received is not an outlier, more the way your office runs. Hopefully more people don't make the same mistake, by trusting their pet to your officer if you see nothing wrong with my complaint, and others with the same complaint.. As you have stated "Clearly your practice wasn't a fit for us, clearly by reading the other reviews, it wasn't a fit for many others as well.

Fantastic experience yet again with Dr.Q. So reassured every time we call or visit. Our family members are lovingly taken care of and we really appreciate the very low stress environment. Thank you for everything, Dr. Q!

Dr Q is my new hero. After being lied to and almost taken for a ride, she gave me hope and restored health back to my senior pug. Dr Q and her staff are all amazing and offer ethical and logical approaches with holistic options as well. Thank you, Dr Q! Keep being the light in this world and we appreciate everything you do for all of these animals everyday
