How to Save Money at VCA Mountainview Animal Hospital & Pet Lodge

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.

Vet. Rachel is outstanding. My son's dog was dehydrated, not wanting to eat with zero energy. He was not walking, eating, or drinking. I thought we were going to lose him. Miss Rachel immediately took him to test him, comforted me because she saw my distress. Came back, told me they gave him fluids, for which he did well. I took him home with no meds. She asked me to give him chicken broth, bone broth, and blend foods as he toleraded. He would not eat on his own, so I had to use a syringe to feed him chicken broth and protein shakes. The following day, I noticed him having a little more energy. He was walking and Peeing, which to me was a huge success! I then proceeded to give him baby food stage 3 (turkey) Miss Rachel texted me Saturday, asking me about his condition, and recommended him to have an ultrasound done because his kidney levels were elevated, and so were the white cells. I asked her if it could be an infection? I had not heard him bark. She prescribed him antibiotics. Sunday, although not at full strength, he was chasing rabbits. A week later, he is now being picky about what he wants to eat. He is refusing his dry dog food, but the can food gives him cramps and loose stools. VCA team was exceptional in customer service. Miss Rachel, an outstanding caring vet who went above my expectations. Thank you all for your professionalism!

I have always had a great experience with VCA Mountainview- my girl just turned 2 and has been coming here ever since her first puppy visit. The entire staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Gottschall is amazing to work with, I can see the the genuine care she has for her patients! My pup and I are so glad to have found a trusted home at VCA.

I wanted to share my excellent experience with Jamie and Dr. Young at VCA on County Line. They took great care of my very sick golden retriever. They were extraordinarily compassionate and knowledgeable. They also gave us clear treatment options with associated costs. I was so grateful they were there when we needed them.

The staff at this hospital was nothing but helpful to us. We had to put our kitty down and they were so sweet and understanding. They even sent us a card in the mail where the staff wrote down their condolences. It meant the world to us. Thank you guys for caring so much about our fur baby.

Very friendly and professional staff. The Vet Doctors are great and knowledgeable and don't try to hard sell you on only thier products. They helped us find reasonable food and medicine. The boarding is also reasonable and allows you to choose from regular care to over the top pampering of your little loved one. Even at the "no frills" level that I used (because I have a limited budget) my per was walked several times a day and returned home with tail wagging.
