How to Save Money at Animal Hospital-Fountain Valley

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.

This office constantly delivers whether it be speaking over the phone about possible treatment options or simply greeting you with a smile each time you walk in. They are thoughtful and empathetic and I feel safe to bring my dog here. There is no better Vet than Dr. Bull and his staff.

Went here for the first time for my dogs eye. They were able to accommodate me for same day appointment. The vet was extremely nice and very thorough. He explained and talked through everything during the exam and shots. The vet tech was super nice, as well, and gentle with my dog which made me feel more comfortable (and probably my dog). Even her tone of voice was calming which is helpful when you’re worried. The vet seemed like he really cared and even asked me if I wanted to step out the room because my dog was going to be in pain during the shot. The warning was nice. He also demonstrated how to put in the eye drops and addressed preventative concerns such as flea medication. It felt like a physician for humans and I really appreciated that kind of care for my dog. No extra tests or charges that seemed ridiculous. All his recommendations were treatments that I agreed with and at a reasonable price. He asked what questions I have. I appreciate open ended questions as it is a good way to provide patient focused care. He asked multiple times in the visit to make sure i was clear on everything and had no concerns. I was extremely happy with his care and practice.
