How to Save Money at VCA Aledo 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.

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.

I can’t thank Dr. Finger and all the staff at this VCA enough. They have been super friendly and helpful from my very first phone call for an appt to follow up phone calls on our dogs test results and all concerns. They’ve been thorough, supportive, have gone above and beyond, excellent communication, transparent with cost and options. All of it. The very best care and am very grateful.

Dr. Coakley and her staff are incredible! Attentive and informative, they answered all my questions and gave me an estimate for my pup's dental procedure. Thank you for taking such good care of my fur baby!!!!

Dr. Finger is brilliant! My 19 year old cat who has a very complicated care scenario is doing so much better now after just one visit with her. I have never had an initial visit with a vet have such a dramatic improvement in my cat's quality of life but very glad that I found her. Thank you so much!

I love everyone here they are amazing!! They have saved my dogs on 2 separate occasions! First a couple years ago when my lab got bit on the leg and almost lost all the skin there. He is older so we weren’t sure he would be able to get through it. I called so many vets and either they couldn’t get me in immediately, they wanted to charge an ‘emergency’ fee or they turned us away because of the nature of the injury. Well VCA Aledo just told me get in whenever you can. When They saw him they were honest that they may not be able to get it to close and stay closed and it could become a permanent issue. But they did such an amazing job and checked up on his progress consistently! The vet called me daily and asked for pictures to make sure he healed well. My pup is now 11 years old and you can’t tell he was ever hurt he doesn’t even have a scar!! Second this week they saved the life of my 11 month old German shepherd! She started eating less which I wasn’t too worried about but 4 days in she started bleeding. Once again I played phone tag with all the close vets and no one could get me in! Call VCA Aledo and they told me to get in ASAP! As soon as we got her there her condition deteriorated! She had pyometra and needed emergency surgery and there was a big chance she wouldn’t make it! I was told she aspirated during surgery, yet even with the complications and the severity on the surgery, they saved my baby girl! She got so sick within just 2 hours! Yet now she is happy and energetic and eating again! And I am so grateful to this group for always being here for my family!!

This hospital murdered my best friend. She walked in the Aledo animal clinic and a couple days later couldn’t eat or walk ever again. The second picture was her last day. Do your self a favor, don’t trust this organization if you love your animals like family.
