How to Save Money at Elk Meadow Veterinary Hospital
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.

Took my American Eskimo in for a dental and an eyelid mass removal. Dr. Cristie Kutz and her team were amazing. Thank you for clearly communicating the treatment plan, and informing me on the next steps along the way. I would recommend Elk Meadow to anyone looking for quality veterinaty care for their pets.

We love Dr. Jason and the staff @ Elk Meadow Animal Hospital. Our dog Charlie has always received great care and we feel supported as his owners. We have been trusting EMAH for almost 3 years to be there and to take care of whatever is needed for our beloved pooch. Thank you Dr. Jason and staff! I recommend EMAH to anyone wanting professional and caring pet care.

I am so very grateful that I found my way to the doors of Elk Meadows Veterinary Hospital. When moving to a new area, finding new support for competent and compassionate medical care for your pets is high on the list. Drs. Jason and Christie Kutz are setting the bar. In fact - to a person - I find their staff to be amazing. They are responsive, personable, incredibly thorough and thoughtful about you as well as your pet! Perhaps my highest validation is to relate that I truly believe their timely and thorough care saved the life of my 14 year old Aussie who had what I think was a rare immune condition. Happy to report she is doing fantastically well today. I not only highly recommend these doctors and practice. I will go nowhere else.

We moved back to CO after 12 yrs in Scotland. After a 'not so great' experience at another local vet, Elk Meadow was recommended to me. I could tell straight away we were in the right place just by how my dog was acting. Thor is almost 14 yrs old, has had spinal surgery, another disc issue in his neck, allergies to injections, is on pain meds, has some arthritis and has started with Doggy Dementia. He walked into the hospital and didn't try to leave (that is a good sign!). He loved the receptionist even before getting a treat, when he saw the Vet Tech and Nurse he went straight to them to say HI and get a scratch. He was the same with Dr. Roth. No problems with blood test or urine sample. His new medications are helping him feel better and be more active. I am a happier owner knowing my dog is so well cared for. I'm sure my other dog and cat will feel well loved here too. THANK YOU! Rat terriers: Thor - white & tan, Burns - tri and Poppy Kitty The Scottish CRAT terrier.

Our vet for our two dogs and now our kitty. They are extremely good about making you aware of their doings, letting you make informed decisions independently and respecting you for it. I even come in juggling my toddler and they are very sweet and understanding of our sometimes-crazy energy. Thanks to everybody here!
