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

We came in for our blocked cat, after calling quite a few vets (including the one our dogs go to) and we couldn’t get him in! Alpine took us in right away! Doctors, staff and reception were so kind during a scary time! Really informative and helpful, and took great care of our cat! Upfront about costs and his procedure, as well as after care. We were really blown away by how kind the doctors were when calling to report on how our kitty was doing! 10/10! Made a scary experience seem lighter!

The staff were very helpful and did an outstanding job of helping ease my mind before my dog went into surgery. They were great with us for the after care, explanations and release of our dog. I also appreciate the fact that they are so much more affordable for this procedure than anywhere else I contacted.

Your clinic was highly recommended by family, friends, on social media, and Google reviews. I was also looking for a clinic which would provide a reduced cost neutering service and one I could trust to provide care for my dog beyond the neutering service. I believe I have found what I was looking for. Thank you!

This has been our family's clinic for the past 40 years, but it is no longer a place that I can trust to take good care of my pets. My dog Annie, a rescue (9/10 years old) was brought in for an eye infection, which led them to discover there was an underlying dental infection. They ended up taking 38 out of her 40 teeth without letting me know. They sent her home after only a couple of hours of recovery, and she ended up passing away in the night. Of course these things happen, but the issue I have is that they sent an old dog home without monitoring her after a very traumatic surgery. She was absolutely fine before all of this, still eating and drinking. This clinic seems to be very money driven, adding on a flea and tick treatment when we were there for an acute issue. They had a laundry list of items that they wanted to do, have her follow up with orthopedics for her knees, which were not a problem, and it just seems like they wanted to make money rather than deal with the current problem, and allow us to follow up with routine care later on.

Have been going here for years and took 4 of my pets here. Absolutely loved Dr. Hixson and was so sorry to see him go. He was so good at telling it like it was and helping me make the best decision for my pets. So I was disappointed recently after tragically my dog died suddenly at a young age and despite her being a patient there I couldn’t get a vet on the phone for even 2 minutes to ask some questions about probable causes. I navigated her end of life alone and decided to do necropsy at OSU. When I did go pick up her body from Alpine to take to OSU, I asked Dr. Mills what she thought and she rather flippantly and with confident certainty said it was the fly trap she had eaten. I said, really? Even though it is listed as being non-toxic? She said yes. I was beside myself to think I could’ve contributed to her death. But once necropsy came back it was determined that she had cardiac fibrosis from a long-standing unknown heart condition. It actually wasn’t the fly bag trap after all but for days I was so sick thinking that I had done something to contribute to her death. I think a more thoughtful phone conversation for just a few minutes would’ve done wonders and would’ve shown more compassion to us in our situation. I do want to say thank you to the front desk for being patient and kind and returning phone calls promptly and helping with cremation questions, etc.
