How to Save Money at TLC Animal Clinic

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.

Being a loyal customer for over 10 years, I was so disappointed in the service I received today. Unfortunately, I had to put my best friend, Reggie, down because he was sick and you refused service by Dr. Nawar. I understand that you were probably busy, and Dr. Kim was on vacation, but you, Dr. Nawar could have given me the courtesy to talk to me for 30 seconds to let me know why you could not help my baby. Unfortunately, I had to take him somewhere else, 30 minutes away, and he was put to sleep because of his condition but I would have rather heard that news from you, a hospital that I have depended on for over 10 years!!! It was so impersonal and I was so disappointed in the service that I received from your hospital today, in my time of need. I HEARD YOU!!! What made it worse, was the way I heard that doctor, coldly, talking to his technicians and employees in such a rude manner, without even trying to talk to me to let me know why he refused service. All I would have appreciated in over 10 years of service would have been 30 seconds to a minute to put me at ease in my time of need. I would have rather heard this news from a place that I have grown to love and trust. I understand there wasn't a lot that could have been done for him but sending us to a hospital 30 minutes away without the slightest bit of explanation or compassion is unacceptable. I hope people see this and realize how impersonal some doctors like Dr. Nawar can be because I really feel that you could have done a better job in dealing with your patients. He was our family member for 13 years and he was your patient for 10 of those years. I can't believe how I was treated today. Thank you for the technicians and employees who were very sympathetic to our needs all these years. Sorry if I was a little short and rude today but I was scared for his life and had to get him out of there and get help as soon as possible but couldn't believe how rudely I was treated by the doctor on call. I don't write reviews like this but this was totally unacceptable. If you can't give your loyal customers 30 seconds of your time, I would ask what are we really worth? Long Live Reginald Meowington III. The best freaking cat that Chino Hills has ever known. You have brought so much love, joy, and laughter to a family that has truly loved and appreciated every minute of your life. You were loved every day of your life, little buddy. We love you, Reggie Rodriguez.

Dr Kim and his staff are amazing! They have a true heart for animals, are caring and kind. Dr Kim has been our family Vet for many, many years now. He has been able to diagnose my cats problems right away without thousands of dollars worth of tests and X-rays. Our family trusts him and his staff…can’t say enough about them…God bless them!

I have a 2 year old groodle and a 1 year old chihuahua. I am 69 years old. My dogs that have passed away, i didn't take them to a vet because it always seemed costly and the vets seemed to not understand my dogs. I finally found a place at TLC where the people understand my dogs and I feel very confident to take them there. I am happy for my dogs and myself that I have a healthy road for my puppies.

After a disastrous appointment with Pets N Vet (don’t ever got there people there don’t care about you nor your pets) which made me waited over 90 mins in the lobby I just left and made online appointment with TLC. Got responded with texts and email from a live person within 10 mins confirming my appointment. Brought my pet in just today for my appointment, got greeted by the courteous staff, all the check in was efficient and on point, got brought in to the check up room within minutes and I was out of the clinic within 40 mins for my dogs annual shots, wellness checkup and spoke with the vet doctor all inclusive. This is the type of service I expected , ALL the staffs are super friendly and show care for your pets unlike Pets N Vets couple street down none of the worker showed any empathy for you or your dog from my poor experience with them. I would give TLC 10 stars if I can.
