How to Save Money at True Companions Animal Shelter & Clinic
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.

This was my first time walking into the Max fund animal adoption center and it was so welcoming. They were giving away free dog food and toys and coats for different animals. They had all kinds of pet supplies and they were actually just giving them away. I was there because I rescued a mother melon wall that had been running the streets, apparently for a few days searching for her pups. The max fund was able to help take care of her and give her the medical care that they needed. this is now one of my favorite places!

I apologize if this is wrong, but I believe the person we dealt with was christine. However, she couldn't have been more friendly and understanding to our situation. She provided comfort to us in letting go of our kitten who is pregnant and we unfortunately couldn't take care of her during it. We can not wait to see our kitty again but until then we know she is in good hands. Thank you again. You have no idea how much your little extra help and kindness means to us.

The staff here are just absolutely incredible!! Wendy is a phenomenal trainer, and she really knows her expectations at behavioral training for dogs and it was an honor to talk to her for as long as we did. We came in to see about fostering & ended up meeting sweet loyalty for a long time. What a beautiful dog who just need some love and patience. We will be coming to see loyalty. Max Fund is the only place in Denver. That is a no kill shelter so all the pups end up at Max Fund.. It’s an incredible endeavor that they’re providing such a service to the community, but they also need a lot of support as well and these dogs could really use fosters or good homes with patient and compassionate people who are animal lovers!!

I'm not sure how many stars to give. Maxfund does have its good thing about them. It is true that MaxFund is a no kill shelter. HOWEVER, they do send some animals to Dumbfriends league. That IS a kill shelter. Can't saying the euthanize them, but they do send them there. I know because we had given up a pet that belonged to someone that passed away. A few days later another family member had said they would take the dog in. We went back to pick up the dog where we dropped it off at MaxFund. Guess where we found the dog?? This happened a few years back. I was reading on a neighborhood post. Someone asked about a no kill shelter. I see a ton of people say MaxFund. I would like people to also know that they will send animals to Dumbfriends league. I don't think they send every animal. I'm not even sure how or why they would send any animal there, but they did send the dog we dropped off.
