How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Alpine Animal Hospital

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.

We absolutely adore Alpine Animal Hospital and highly recommend them as care givers (veterinarians) for your most beloved furry friend. Dr Bailey and Dr Duchow have taken care of our Great Pyrenees for over 28 years. I cannot say enough good things about how we are treated by all the staff at Alpine. I thank them for all they do.

I recently needed to get a second opinion after receiving a diagnosis for my cat and was unsatisfied with the direction and overall lack of information from my own vet. Upon a high recommendation from a close friend, I sought some advice from Dr Bailey. She not only provided some invaluable information, but also recommended an alternative medication to what my usual vet prescribed. This alternative turned out to be a godsend as my cat could not stomach the one prescribed by the original vet. Unfortunately Alpine is a bit too far for me to visit on a regular basis, but if I lived closer there is no question Dr Bailey would be my vet of choice. I have highly recommended her to my family and friends in the Spokane Valley area. She is both knowledgeable and empathetic.

I think our family has been going to Alpine Animal hospital for about 30+ years. We have had many four legged friends and have always been super happy with Alpine Animal Hospital. Our main Veterinarian is Dr. Tawnie Bailey but if she is not available we totally trust all of the other doctors at the office. If you are looking for a Doctor for you four legged family member a highly recommend Alpine Animal Hospital. The entire staff is just AMAZING!!

Are dog Cooper was dying, we got confused with the Alpine Hospital and the Alpine emergency Vet care. We pulled up to the Alpine Hospital and a vet assistant came out and said that they were closed, I said I just called and you're waiting for us, the assistant said you need the emergency Vet they are a block that way, my husband in tears said I think he is dead can you just see if he has a heart beat " No you have to go to the emergency " my husband in a pleading voice can you just check ...again she said no go to the emergency...When Your children are your pets and they literally dying in front of you, the last thing is a uncaring veterinary practice....by the way he was Dead..Thank you Kath for your concern and checking on my husband and myself..please praise the young lady who came to the door to let us know you were closed... and we were at the wrong hospital

We have been clients at Alpine Animal Hospital and specifically of Dr. Bailey's (although other vets have been great when we needed them) for 18 years. She and her staff have shown nothing but the utmost professionalism and kindness toward us and our pets during this time. I understand that we are all emotionally invested in our pets and their health. We have had to make some tough decisions and have been very grateful for the clearly communicated information on options, cost and quality of life for our loved ones. I certainly can't speak about others experiences but it says a lot to me that the staff and customer base are loyal and recommend Alpine Animal Hospital to their friends and family--as do we. My dogs will always have Dr. Bailey as their vet!
