How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Animal Surgical Care

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.

I will always tell all pet parents about the kindness, fairness, and honesty that I experienced at Animal Surgical Care. I will never forget how Dr. Leka was the only one who listened to me when my dog was injured and needed surgery ASAP, when everyone else brushed me off. Both Dr. Leka and Dr. Iguchi personally called and texted to follow up with my dogs recovery post-op, and reassured me that they were available to help if needed. My Lab's leg injury was severe, but we wouldn't be on the long road to recovery without ASC. From the bottom of mine (and Zia's) hearts, we are so grateful. :)

My fur baby was very sick and needed an emergency surgery. I was so happy that this location was referred to me. They are so kind and I knew my dog was in safe hands. Thank you so much for your kindness

If your pet needs surgery this is the ONLY place is recommend! There's not enough words to express my gratitude for Dr Leka and his team. Found out thanksgiving morning that our dog had a condition that without emergency surgery would be fatal. I was given ASG's number from another Vet and gave them a call. I called thanksgiving day around 11 and Dr Leka and his team were ready for emergency surgery by 3pm. They opened up on thanksgiving to save my dogs life. I'm confident to say that not only is this the best Vet in Denver, but probably some of the best people in Denver as well. If more people were like this amazing family, this world would be much better place! Thank you guys again, we are truly grateful for you guys!

I don’t know where to even start, Dr Leka was recommended to me. At this time I was desperate and in need of an affordable vet to take my cat who broke his foot. Dr Leka was unbelievably communicative and helpful through the whole process. Even after an amputation and several help with the rest of my cats he is still so supportive and reliable. Just one call away and he gives the best advice for whatever comes up with our babies! Like I have stated to him before, i am so blessed to have crossed paths with such an amazing doctor. Forever thankful for this Vet!
