How to Save Money at La Palma Veterinary 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.

What an absolutely phenomenal vet. From the front office, to the techs, to the vets - everyone is kind, patient, and informed. And they LISTEN. I am a dog owner with a cat, and everyone was so understanding and patient as I asked questions to learn how to get my cat, Pepper, back to health. While I only hope to see them once a year for her annual exam, I love this vet and am grateful to have found them.

When making an appointment avoid speaking with Ruth C. She is EXTREMELY rude and VERY unprofessional. She does not give accurate information when it comes to cost. After our visit and paying for our services she very rudely threw the invoice/ receipt over the counter to me. This place used to be a lovely place to take your pets. We would always bring our animals here to be seen. But the staff are rather rude and unprofessional. The female Veterinarian that assisted us was rather pleasant.

This was my first time visiting this veterinary office. I was bringing in a stray cat that I had to trap to be looked at. And the office was very accommodating. When I walked in the office was absolutely spotless, which isn't usually the case in a veterinary office naturally with animals running all over the place. The staff were welcoming and assisted me with the stray cat so that he could be examined. I really had a great experience from start to finish at this office. I would recommend coming here for your fur babies and or strays that you just don't have the heart to watch suffer. ❤️

I have had dogs my whole life with many terrific vets. But, hands down, Dr. Angelo at La Palma Veterinary Hospital is the best and kindest vet I have ever had. The staff is very caring and know you and your pets. Dr. Angelo has been there for my family and for our dogs as puppies or new adoptees to end of life. I cannot recommend La Palma Veterinary Hospital highly enough.

Dr. Angelo and his assistants certainly knew how to care for my sick cat, Boots. Boots was feeling very bad and therefore he was uncommonly hissy and defensive but they cared for him kindly. The facility is clean, very professional and the staff are friendly.
