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
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.

Our dog was attacked and had multiple bite marks. We thought we could clean and manage her at home, but after several days, we knew we needed to take her in. The staff were so kind. They took excellent care of our pup and were also so compassionate towards us. We will continue to go to Alpine Animal Hospital. PS- they were more affordable than we ever imagined.

The office staff is helpful and friendly. Dr. Mike knows his stuff! Every time I take our dog in for a checkup, Dr. Mike teaches me something. For instance, our dog’s tail has a kink in it. She had it when we adopted her. He let me know that it likely will be fine but that the kink could “slip” and cause her pain. It’s nothing to worry about, but now I know there is a chance it could happen, and if it does, I know what to do. Tidbits like that are easy to remember and increases my knowledge about our dog and how to care for her. I highly recommend Alpine Animal Hospital! It is worth the 30+ minute drive to get there!

Dr Mike and his staff and been excellent at caring for our sweet Nora. She came to our home in Sept of 2021 at age 14. Nora is a rag doll cat and is now 16+ years old, if it were not for Dr Mike and his caring attitude and willingness to see her and try everything possible to help her she would not still be with us today! I Love the staff and Dr. Mike. I am so grateful we were referred to them. Everyone there is so kind and caring!! Thank you for every extra day we have with Nora!!❤️

Dr. Mike and team are so great! Many times I have wished he were my personal physician! He's smart, competent, clinically superb, and compassionate. He's got that rare combination of competence and excellent bedside. Moreover, his staff is unparalleled in terms of kind and effective Customer service. We have recommended Alpine Animal Hospital several times to our pet-loving friends, family, and neighbors and can recommend Dr. Mike and team to you without hesitation or qualification.

Dr. Mike and his team have taken care of all of our pets. Unfortunately, our lab had a murmur that was hard to hear and she was very healthy, it got missed. Dr. Mike did everything he could to get us to the right dr’s and even met us after her heart surgery (on his weekend off) to help with wound care. We got roughly 10 months with her post surgery and she passed suddenly. Where he really earned my respect was when he called me to just help put my worries to rest and also said he had been texting back and forth with her cardiologist. He made a good point- he said we did everything and more for that dog and had we known she was going to die would we have been in a position to put another 10k into her. That really made me think as he could have sent her elsewhere for more heart issues and tbh we had battled her heart for quite sometime and never knew it. When a vet tells you you’ve gone above and beyond to save a dog, they aren’t lying. She passed away, unexpectedly yet quick, playing one last ball of fetch with her favorite person, my husband. Dr. Mike was always very patient with her and is, knowing we loved her and her sister dog like children. Dr. Mike is in high demand and even if he’s direct, that’s not bad. I’d rather someone be direct and honest, than a liar who manipulates patients for money. We appreciate his suggestions for our next dog and to our surprise we are pretty sure we found a rescue per his suggestion. Thank you for the love and care you and your staff gave Mila. Dogs are better than people and so loyal. I love that Dr. Mike is the same way and respects those who really care for pets.
