How to Save Money at Walnut Village Pet 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.

The most caring vet staff in the area! Dr. Lee truly cares. Her staff truly cares. Dr. Lee is SO knowledgeable and always consults, when needed, just to make sure she has been thorough in her care, if needed. I don't know what else to say other than I always feel welcomed, heard, and I have brought her some difficult situations with one of my dogs and she is just amazing. She sees you and your animal family member holistically and not just as a means to provide another service, or medication, to charge more. Her recommendations are based on consult with you and what outcomes may, or may not be, as well as what consequences may, or may not be, for treatments. The care is well rounded and trustworthy. Highly recommended!!!

Heaven sent. Prior to conimg here and after having my regular veterinarian flake out on me. Had my litter of 4 female malinois there for all 4 visits. They haven't returned my calls and have a sign that reads no walk-ins on their doors. Prestige Animal Hospital in South Fontana no longer had my business. I was referred to Walnut Village Pet Hospital and they took me in the very next day as I had called within 30 minutes of closing. The next day my appointment went well, had my exam and lab work for spaying, umbilical hernia removal and microchip. A week after my initial consultation my 8 month old girl had the best care. Follow up was much appreciated and I was kept on the loop at all times. Absolutely wonderful vet and staff. Can't say enough about the great quality care we received.

Dr. Lee and her team are amazing. They are professional, empathetic, and have great customer service. Dr. Lee is very thorough when examining her patients. She explains things in simple terms. I highly recommend her for your fur babies.

ABSOLUTELY 💯 WONDERFUL STAFF! They truly deserve 5 stars… My wife and I had to put my precious Great Pyrenees dog down (3/6/23) after 12 good years and everyone from start to finish was truly wonderful. Very kind, gentle, incredibly calm and caring, very patient, providing gentle love to our dog before he drew his last breath…. 😔 Very very sad morning but will forever be grateful to them for being so good and professional during the whole process. Going back to leave a thank you card soon. Dr. Lee was absolutely amazing! Strongly recommend!

Such a wonderful pet hospital! The staff are so kind, considerate, patient, and educating, and the vet is clearly in love with animals and promoting their well-being. I never have trouble getting an appointment, even same day, whereas our previous vet was also booked out at least two weeks (that is clearly indication of a great vet, but it's still so wonderful to be seen same day). Affordable but thorough care. Highly recommend!
