How to Save Money at VETCO Vaccination Clinic at PETCO

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.

Getting 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.

Not a real vet. Why pay more than a real vet, only to be extremely disappointed? They focus efforts on upselling customers and less effort on the quality of care... but again, they're not a real vet. Paid almost $500 for overpaid services for my two puppies at Vetco, including 3 rounds of vaccinations. For the fecal test, they handed me a bag, a cotton swab, and a self addressed envelope. I took them to my actual vet, where they charged less and actually performed the test themselves. I had an appointment for the 2nd round of vaccinations. Left without the vaccinations after waiting in line for about 30 minutes... along with all the other people bamboozled into thinking Vetco is an actual vet. Rescheduled the appointment for the following month. Took the pups to their 2nd round of vaccinations. They claimed that my 2nd round vaccination expired and I had to pay $190. It turns out that when I purchased the 3 vaccinations, I actually purchased an actual vaccination, and didn't just pay for it, which is how a real vet operates. I explained that the salesperson told me it was good for a year, which actually happened. The salesperson denied it. My wife was also there and remembers the same conversation. Further, I had to pay $120 for other shots, which were covered in the 3rd round because they refused to give me the 3rd round shots until I had the second round. I needed this to drop the dogs off at dog boarding. Called my vet after the experience to ask about purchasing the first year vaccinations in advance. They said charging again for an expired vaccination is absurd. They, like every other reputable vet, charges people for vaccinations. They pull from stock at the time when vaccination services are rendered. I still have to pay for the 2nd round vaccinations, which they were all too eager to upsell me along with the vaccinations needed to be ready for day boarding. I paid the $120 for the necessary vaccinations to be eligible for boarding and did not pay the additional $190 for the 2nd round of vaccinations. Petco is great for overpriced junk for pets. However, Vetco is a scam. They appear to be defrauding the American people with their scam by tricking people into thinking they provide legit vet services. They charge more than a real vet but after the purchase, some customers discover they are not a vet. Buyer Beware.

Had an appointment at 9/29 @ 3:06. Cancelation text was sent at 2:59. Yea 7 minutes before my appointment they cancelled. I came all the way from Glendale down to Laveen since my mom's dog had the 3:00. Both cancelled at the same time, so her appointment was cancelled 1 min before it was time. Extremely unprofessional, would highly recommend taking your business elsewhere where your time is not only respected but valued.

They are awesome my dog ain't the friendliest pup to deal with. He don't like strangers at all but he's a sweetheart once you know him and they were great with him thanks guys for taking care of us.

We went to get shots for my daughters dog today but she made the appointment for October by accident. There was no one in line behind us so they were able to get us in! It was a small wait but nothing too bad.
