How to Save Money at Job's Peak Veterinary 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.

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.

They are great at what they do. We thought our fur baby was gunna die. She got sick and started to vomit, appitite slowly declined and she wouldn't go #2 anymore. She became super lethargic. Turns out She had an infection in her uterus which the vet identified and put her through sergery. Now she is once agian a happy pup! Thank you ♥️

I recently adopted two kittens from the Douglas County Animal Shelter and received vouchers for free rabies shots and free neutering for Job's Peak Veterinary. After speaking with the front desk and the office manager I was informed that I would be required to first have Job's administer their core vaccines (and establish them as patients and pay for required physicals) prior to them honoring the vouchers. When I told Con-Job's Veterinary that I would have my current veterinarian administer the vaccinations and the rabies shots and that I would have Con-Job's only do the neutering they refused me that service. They are refusing to honor the voucher because I am using my veterinarian for the shots instead of them. They are trying to blackmail me into being a client by not neutering my kittens as per the vouchers unless I pay all these extra fees. Moreover, Perscilla and the office manager were extremely short with me, demonstrated an extreme lack of customer service, consistently spoke over me and would not allow me to complete my questions and where in general very rude and unpleasant towards me. Crooked veterinary practice if you ask me. No wonder Diplomates won't touch them. They are also dishonoring Douglas County by refusing to honor the agreement they have with them to have adopted animals receive the legally required rabies shots and to be altered. Since Job's is neither interested in the welfare of these adopted kittens nor helping to control the unwanted pet population by refusing veterinary care, I can only hold them in contemptuous scorn. Your practice is not upholding the Veterinary Hippocratic Oath: Being admitted to the profession of veterinary medicine, I solemnly swear to use my scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society through the protection of animal health and welfare, the prevention and relief of animal suffering, the conservation of animal resources, the promotion of public health, and the advancement of medical knowledge. I will practice my profession conscientiously, with dignity, and in keeping with the principles of veterinary medical ethics. I accept as a lifelong obligation the continual improvement of my professional knowledge and competence. Con-Job's Veterinary Hospital earns a huge FAIL!!!!!

I love Job’s Peak. When I took my beloved 19-year-old kitty in for her trip over the rainbow bridge, Tobie was so compassionate and helped me through this heartbreaking ordeal. Dr. Dan treats his pet patients as if they were his own and we trust him completely. I will never go anywhere else.

I had the best experience at Job's Peak Veterinary Hospital. I would highly recommend them, they really care and were there for my dog at 2am when she was going downhill fast. I called at 2am and the vet returned my call within minutes and met me at their veterinary hospital. It was one of the most difficult moments of my life, saying goodby to my beloved dog, Lucy, and the vet was warm and supportive with me and Lucy. Thank you
