How to Save Money at Alamogordo Animal Hospital

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.

We needed a clinic for our sweet boy urgently on s Sunday and this clinic helped us every step of the way. The staff was so kind and gentle with him, with us. Our sweet boy is doing well, many thanks for all they did for us.❤🐶

Great experience. The staff was very friendly. The vet was just the same and explained everything as the visit started to end. Little Jay got a pup cup after for being good.

The staff at Alamogordo Animal Hospital has always been so kind to us and to our animal babies. When one of our dogs needed emergency surgery, Dr. Byrnes made room on her schedule to take care of her, and made sure to follow up with us after to make sure our girl was doing good. Will always be thankful for Dr. Byrnes and the staff there!

I was very impressed with everyone at Alamogordo Animal Hospital. The front desk employee was very nice and courteous. The Vet Tech was so sweet and good with our two large dogs. The Vet herself was awesome and exuded confidence and knowledge. I highly recommend them. Jerri and Craig Ricard, Honus and Wagner!

Always very kind and professional. You can tell these people are here for the animals and not just money grabbing. They even helped me bring down the surgery price for my dog significantly after thoroughly going through the quote with me and helping me find a comfortable and reasonable price without any back and forth. Overall very trustworthy and professional.
