How to Save Money at VCA Aacacia 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.

Dr. Kermit Smith has taken care of all of my dogs and cats for the past 14 years. I trust him and the staff here at Norco is always willing to help. One of my dogs is a special needs lab that they've on occasion had to carry all 89 lbs of him into the building! They've been great with him.

Place was clean and they had short wait times which was nice. But if you are making an appointment for something specific double and triple check with them when making the appointment. Wasted a trip and money to find out the information given on the phone about services available was incorrect. Cost for Rabies vaccines was double what my normal vet charges.

I'm not sure if it's considered a feedback. First time myself haking my dog to the to the vet. ( German Shepherd) I don't know about prices I don't care about prices when it comes to my dog. How was told this place it's pricey i thought 🤔 300 $400 + for my dog's shots and flea medication and I only paid a hundred and 15 or $20. But the purpose of this review it's not the price it's the way I was treated my dog was treated aunt the information I gained by asking the vet keeping my dog hygiene and doing something about my dogs shedding hair. I I felt well taking care of so is my dog seems. This concludes my review hope you find this info useful thank you.

Generally love this clinic, but the changed their hours to pretty much have to take the day off to get an appointment. No emergency services either. Go elsewhere if you need convenience. Star date October 15th, the staff at VCA Aacacia have let me down by forcing me to get an appointment and then missing that time by a half hour.😡😡😡 Star Date January 13th, check in before appointment time after taking a half day off to visit the vet. Nearly 20 minutes later after checking in. Still waiting. I like the staff, they are very nice, but the inconvenience is annoying at best. And definitely no emergency services that I can see anymore.

The staff at VCA are top notch. I was seen immediately without an appointment for an emergency. My dog received a very thorough exam and diagnosis. The doctor called me the next day to follow up. They know we care about our pets and they treat us with compassion.
