How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Alpine Animal Clinic

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.

The only Aviary vet in our area.. and it's a 40 min. Car ride for us. They have a great group of people working there who clearly love their clients! They know our Jeffrey well and are always glad to see him when he goes for his beak, nails and feather trim. Yes, we do recommend them!

Horrible place! I can’t stress enough for anyone reading this to take their pets to another vet . When an emergency strikes , they will not be there to help . We have been clients with all our pets for years and I had her in and needed emergency surgery . They refused to do it bc the dr was booked , I asked Emma the dr could please do one more . I was told the dr will be too tired at the end of the day . These are people who truly do not care about animals well being . Not only did they put her on antibiotic for dogs over a year (she’s 8 months ) they also charged me twice as much as animal care center is for everything ! This place will take your money and run ! BEWARE !

We had taken our pets here for years but we're changing vets. Our dog had an absess tooth, and they booked him for a surgery. 7 months later!! They said we'd get a call if they had a cancelation but they never called. Somehow they must have not had a cancelation over that entire time? He had his surgery. Two weeks later, his face is swollen and it turns out, he has a new absess tooth. We call again, and they wanted to schedule him for surgery in September, 6 months later. Unreal. We called other vets, and he's scheduled MUCH sooner, who said they have cancelations all the time and will call us when that happens. Alpine didn't seem to care about our dog who is probably in a lot of pain. They also refused to share records with the new vet, how is that helping our dog??

We saw Dr. Gilbert for an emergency appointment for our rabbit who was sick. She was very knowledgeable and got our rabbit feeling better again. The office reached out a few days after our appointment to check how our rabbit was doing. I would recommend this clinic and Dr. Gilbert.

They have been taking care of our animals for over 12 years. Expert, compassionate, friendly, care.
