How to Save Money at Chaparral Animal Health Center
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.

We brought in our dog because she was wheezing at night. Initially when we brought her in, we were told by Dr. Dave that he's seen this many times before and it was just a little sinus infection (without doing any real exam of her). It was a "trust me I know" type of conversation. We ended up bringing her back two weeks later as it wasn't getting better. We were still told that he believed it was a sinus issue and we shouldn't worry. But to ease our mind, he flushed out her sinuses with saline (causing bleeding and discharge.) We then brought her to Valley Vet and the Veterinarian held a cotton strand up to her nose and said, "she has a mass in her right nostril, we need to get her a CT scan asap". And, he was right. She had a cancerous tumor in her right nostril. That visit took 5 minutes, where we were waiting nearly a month for an answer previously on why her breathing was so poor. As our primary vet, we initially reached out for any type of support as we tried to navigate our way through this diagnosis with palliative care. We weren't given that and felt like we were just shrugged off during this period of such stress and unknowing. Sadly, our beloved dog passed not too long after.

Dr. Dave is the best. He helped my senior border collie with acupuncture and chiropractic. He and his staff are always so kind and compassionate. I 100% recommend Dr Dave if you are seeking holistic alternatives for your pets.

Great vet with alternate medication options for our senior dog with cancer. They removed her growths for less than half of what CSU Vet school wanted! Prescribed natural cancer prevention & immune boosting nutrients. It's been 6 years since her first growth was removed! Traditional radiation treatments estimated she'd have a yr 6 months after treatment!? She's still in good spirits!

Dr Dave is simply the best. I drive my anxious pups 40 minutes one way just to see him. His love for animals is so clear and the work that he does on them is profound. My dog had a random limp and Dr Dave did chiropractic and acupuncture on her three times and she started to heal. Amazing work! 🙏

My dog is thriving under Dr Dave’s care. He gets regular acupuncture and chiropractic treatments. He is 13 and is as youthful as a much younger dog. My dog LOVES coming here, (even after getting a dental cleaning!)
