How to Save Money at Mountain West 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.

Mountain West went above and beyond to help us during a difficult time. Our best friend, Tigg, passed away last night. We spoke with Jaylyne, and she was able to get us in this morning. Her compassion was above and beyond, and lifted a huge weight off our shoulders. From the time we walked through the front doors, we felt welcome and cared for. They treat you like family! Their pricing was very reasonable for private cremation. We felt at peace when we left our boy with them. Would highly recommend Mountain West!

Today they not only saved my dogs life but cared so much and showed me so much compassion and kindness. I am now and always will be eternally grateful to each and every member of Mountain West Animal Hospital. Thank you all from Moose and myself.

I used Mountain West Animal Hospital for their end-of-life services for our family dog. Every staff member from the receptionist to the veterinarian were wonderful. All so kind, compassionate, and empathetic. They really cushioned the blow of a hard experience. The facilities were clean and orderly too. I can’t overstate how excellent the staff were. Based on this experience, they deserve 5 stars and a hearty recommendation.

My family has been coming here for the majority of our pets for over 15 years. And on the last day of my dog's life, I could not have been more disappointed... Weeks ago I scheduled our goodbye with MW, and I picked today because I was assured Dr. Bott would be in town as he wouldn't be earlier this month. She loves Dr. Bott, and I wanted her final moments to be with her favourite and most familiar vet. I checked MULTIPLE times to ensure this and was told if anything changed, Id be informed in advance. We show up today, and learn its with their stand in vet, Dr. King, because evidently Dr. Bott was gone today as well. They did not light the candle they usually do when people are saying goodbye so that the lobby can stay quiet, so we had to hear chatter while trying to say our goodbyes. This might not seem big but I've been there when the candle was lit and it hurt they didn't care to give that courtesy to us even after I asked about it. And Dr. King had terrible bedside manner. Didn't even bother to check the info on our dog before coming into the room as he kept calling her a boy. It just showed how little he cared to even try and act like this was important on her last day. And then he ignored us when we told him her arthritis is horribly painful in her back legs, and instead of finding a different placement the way Bott would have since he knows her, he just gave her the sedative in her hind leg causing her to flip out from the pain in her final alert moments. Just a terrible experience for the hardest day of my life as is. Our goodbye was ruined by these people, and my sweet dog didnt even get to see anyone she loved and was familiar with in office. Not Jordyn, the kind front desk girl, and not her favourite most trusted vet Dr Bott. I'd recommend anyone to Dr Bott, but i wouldnt recommend anyone to do anything at this clinic otherwise. I will be finding somewhere else to go for my other pets and any future pets as well. Shame on everyone there today for their lack of effort put in to an already difficult situation. I am disgusted with everyone who was in clinic July 29th 2023. And if Dr King is the vet available when you go in for anything, I say turn around and leave. Disappointed beyond words.

Dr Bott and his team are simply Amazing! Professional, knowledgeable, and very well versed in Vet medicine. He is kind and compassionate, especially when dealing with injuries and end of life care. Grateful to have him as our Vet to two Old English Sheepdogs.
