How to Save Money at Airport 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.

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.

2 stars are solely due to Dr. Boules, who was warm, tentative and professional-The lack of stars are due to the horrible experience with one woman at the reception desk. Called this past Monday and asked for an appointment for both of my dogs-Arrived the next day, on time, to be informed that there was only an appointment for one fur baby. Anyone with multiple pets will agree that unless there’s an appointment, it’s easier to only take the one that has the appointment- They know the difference between the Vets and a dog park! After this and that, receptionist stated that the doctor would see both of my babies and Dr. Michael Boules was/is absolutely wonderful! After both of my dogs had been checked, the receptionist came into the office to provide the medications and take payment. I have my hands full with 2 dogs that are anxious to leave, hand her my card, asked for a bag for the medicine and left. 5 minutes later, received a call and it’s the same receptionist and first thing she states is that I (I!!!) had taken the wrong medication and that it was meant for Leo?! Asked that I return for the right medicine and again voiced that I took the wrong medicine?! Facts-I was given the wrong medication by YOU and client services 101, conversation should have started with an apology-not with an accusatory tone as if I had stolen Leo’s medicine?! It’s your job-not mine-the fact that she had no idea what she was handing to which dog-ALARMING!!!! The fact that she felt that it was my fault-APPALLING!!! How would one trust this facility/reception? They can not log in the correct appointment(s)-have no idea which dog(s) are where nor do they care? I could take my babies in for a serious issue and the receptionist would probably hand me the wrong fur baby? Beyond irresponsible! And on a closing note, if YOU make a mistake, start by apologizing and acknowledging the mistake. Would love to return (Dr. Boules is great) BUT not with that sort of office assistance/reception- Went from feeling excited to rave about the Doctor to other fur baby owners to never wanting to return. There’s a Vet on almost every corner of Fullerton-

Previously had a decent experience but then they refused to refill medication without warning. They were graciously filling meds for us after we moved and everything was going well with our dog. Then, out of no where, they decided not to fill them anymore stating he needs an appt. I asked for one more month while we find a new vet (no one has openings soon) and they refused. So now now our dog is an itchy, red/raw skin mess again and it will take him months to get back to where we were with missing a couple weeks of meds while we wait for a new vet to see us. Soooo frustrated at their lack of communication that they weren’t going to refill and lack of care about our situation and pet.

Extremely overpriced. Everyone was friendly but we had to wait awhile despite being early for the appointment. The x-Ray and other treatments were double what we normally pay at South Coast Pet Hospital.

I took my Henry in for vomiting, diarrhea and blood coming from his bottom. Dr. Charlie saved my dog's life!!! He asked me straight away if he got into anything poisonous and I said no. Luckily Dr. Charlie investigated his symptoms further, because it turned out, from our walk, Henry had been exposed to rat poison and was bleeding out! Dr. Charlie is so smart and professional, and I am truly lucky to have access to such an excellent provider! All of the staff was so kind and understanding during Henry's time in the hospital that week, and Dr. Charlie called every evening to give an update. Airport Animal Hospital is a complete care facility for your pet, with so much compassion. Dr. Charlie is a hero as well as an excellent Doctor. Dr. Charlie is so kind, caring and gentle! He is an excellent surgeon, and I know this because my Henry was neutered and didn't even need his pain medication! He didn't even need the cone, as if he didn't realize the incision site! The staff is so polite over the phone and the entire staff of the back office continue that profound care and respect. Thank you all at Airport Animal Hospital!!!

We got our first puppy and had to find a vet. I called around until I found Dr. Kamal. He was patient and kind in explaining everything to us since we are first time pet owners. We have gone for vaccines, neutering plus a hernia repair surgery and cannot say enough good things about Airport Animal hospital. The doctors and staff give the highest level of care to our puppy. They are excellent and passionate about what they do and it shows.
