How to Save Money at All County Equine Services
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 have used various vets over the years and Dr. Sergent has been the BEST. She is very responsive, her office is professional and quick to put me in touch with her when I need her. I'm down to my last Paso Fino and only wish I had used Dr. Sergent years ago. It might have saved both my other horses. Dr. Sergent is thorough, happy to explain what is going on with my horse, what options I have, what tests she recommends. She has always treated my horse with the greatest of care. Her prices seem in line with other vets I've used in the past. Unlike other vets, I hear from her the same day and (in an emergency), she has always shown up to treat my horse quickly. Thank you, Dr. Sergent, Jenni and Kevin for your great care of my horse and of me!!

Dr. Kim is a wonderful vet. I have used her for several years for my 2 horses. I highly recommend her for anyone needing an equine veterinarian in the San Diego area. She treated my ...complicated... mare & helped me nurse my horse through a tricky colic when we first relocated from the Northeast. The shockwave treatment she suggested has helped my other horses back when nothing else had. My horses adore her and whinny when her truck pulls in the courtyard. Thank you to everyone at All County Equine Services for your care over the last few years. 💛

While she’s very nice as a person, the business practices here are horrific. Many horses in her care who should be euthanized are forced to suffer as she pockets thousands “treating” them for ailments that will never get better. Quality of life doesn’t matter. Poor prognosis doesn’t matter. Making money does. Will bill you inaccurately. Will argue. Will treat for things without content calling it “good practice” This is one of those vets you cannot have faith in. It’s hard to know what actually needs to be done versus what she wants to pad her pockets with. There are plenty of good options in the area; this certainly is not one.
