How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Alpine Veterinary 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

Alpine Veterinary Hospital was recommended by several of our neighbors. We were looking for a more intimate, customer service focused practice for our kitties - we believe we have found it! We had our first introductory/meet and greet exam and were so pleased with the staff and service. We were pleasantly greeted when we walked in and taken back shortly after arriving. We were seen by Dr. Reidelbach who is just fabulous. She listened to our concerns and provided grounded advice. The vet tech was also wonderful. Our kitty was calmer during the entire visit than I have ever known her to be. She even let the vet tech hold her the whole time we were chatting - we don't even hold her that long! Overall, the experience at Alpine was calm, focused, friendly, just really great!

The most caring and compassionate team who love our furry and fluffy pets! Our dog Noah loves going to Alpine! The staff and Doctors are all amazing. We never hesitate to reach out and everyone at Alpine is so responsive. The best of the best!

We moved our dog to Alpine Vet Hospital recently, and her first visit (an annual checkup) was yesterday. We absolutely loved the hospital: great advice from the doctor, enough time for our questions, very friendly and considerate staff, a lot of attention to what we have to say about our dog. It was also very different from our previous experience when everything was rushed (and some health issues confused!), and it felt like we were given strict directives, not to be discussed. Based on our first visit, we highly recommend Alpine Veterinary Hospital.

The staff here are so kind and generous to the pets. It is easy to get an appointment here which is always nice. They are also very helpful to call when we are unsure whether a situation is emergent or not. And very importantly, they are mindful and understanding of the tactical strategies our cat uses to dodge appointments.

Dr. Sartain was wonderful as usual, but I experienced some not quite connected communication with her assistant. He seemed more focused on telling me and asking me than having a conversational exchange of person-to-person (and face-to-face) information. Not a good listener. Also, it wasn’t clear to me what the lag time between the visit and receipt of the bill was all about. I didn’t mind the wait so much but would have appreciated knowing what the holdup was all about. I hadn’t experienced this before over many years of visits.
