How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Alpha Veterinary Care
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.

I have been using Alpha Vet since I got my first dog in 2012, and she spent her life being cared for and loved by all of the staff here until we ultimately had to put her to sleep in June 2023. After a few months of grieving, we were ready to welcome another pup into our home, and once we adopted, I immediately knew which vet we were going to use. Fast forward a few months, my 6 month old pup got his paw caught in a gap going up the stairs and started limping, so I suspected a broken bone. I called Harmony Animal Hospital to get him in for X-rays ASAP and took him that night, but now they wanted to admit him. I hadn’t been instructed to make him fast when I made the appointment, and now they were going to have to sedate him, which couldn’t be done until hours later because he had eaten. (Later they told me it was because he barked at them and that makes him aggressive). I left there a little more than frustrated, and made plans to call Alpha Vet in the morning. The next day I brought him here to his regular vet, and they were able to get multiple images of his foot…unsedated. They gave him support, pets, and love and made my vocal pup feel comfortable. We spent about 1/3 what the other place originally quoted for just an X-ray, and he got updated shots and medicines, too. They also allowed my son who was nervous going in the room with us to stay in the waiting area until we were finished with the exam. It’s been a few weeks since the break, and we have not had any issues. Thank you again for your compassion towards my puppy and the others that come here, it really shows in the work that you all do every day

Doctors here are so talented and helpful. Dr. Bose was like the cat whisperer with my pet. They get you in during emergency situations very quickly. I do recommend these guys to everyone. Unfortunately I don't know that they've been able to take any new patients recently but it's worth it to continue checking with them! They are wonderful!

We were just at Alpha Vet. Bruce checked our Scarlet out and asked the appropriate questions. Scarlet is a 17 years old Chihuahua Yorkie mix. We were told less than a month ago she was not doing well and to prepare ourselves. Bruce recommended several meds and a pro- biotic. Scarlet will be with us for awhile still! Thanks Bruce!!

Our fur baby cat was only about 1 when came into our home- he had been a stray that came up to me and my granddaughter back in 2012. We have only used Alpha Vet- 12 years now and we wouldn't want to go anywhere else. Dr. Bruce Frey just performed surgery to remove a large cyst and my fur baby is doing great! He's 13 years old. Dr. Bruce Frey was even kind enough to call us himself afterwards to let us know how everything went & to answer any questions I had. I completely trust him. They truly love the animals and do whatever is possible to help them. Communication is excellent, care is excellent and prices are reasonable. Everyone there is so nice, I wouldn't want to anywhere else! I Highly Recommend them. Mr. & Mrs. Fiolek

I have accompanied my parents to Alpha for my first two fur babies since I was 15 years old. My two rescues lived to be 14 and 15 years old with Alpha there to the very last breath. 16 years later, I bring my two cats here without fail. Each doctor has given each of my babies so much love, remembered their names, remembered their quirks, put up with their antics (many), and provided for each of their needs with utmost compassion. All of my babies have been immensely fortunate to have the Alpha Veterinary Care team throughout their lives.
