How to Save Money at Sunnycrest Animal Care Center
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.

After being at another local veterinary hospital/clinic in Whittier for well over 30 years, the office staff at Sunnycrest have been very helpful with check-in, billing, Rx's, being seen by a veterinarian in as prompt as time as possible; in short, a breath of fresh air even during the Covid pandemic. At the other veterinary "hospital" I waited, sometimes an hour or so with very rude front office staff personal. More importantly, the veterinarians at Sunnycrest who have examined both of my dogs, a 7 year old long-haired chihuahua and a black Labrador retriever pup (15 weeks old to now 15 months old) have all been remarkable, experienced, and knowledgeable. It is has about 20 parking spaces since it sits between former railroad tracks and Bastanchury/Euclid intersection, but it has not been as issue finding a parking space. It has a nice covered large front porch and the office has wonderfully decor with animal paintings

Hello Dr. Glassbeg! Remember me? Sabrina. I worked way back when in the mid to late 90's. I absolutely loved my job as veterinarians assistant! I had so much fun working there (almost 6 yrs) with Tracy, Dr. Grimes, Robin and all the great staff from 1992 to 1998. The clinic proved great care for the animals that came through the doors.

I have given this place more chances than they deserve. They consistently hurt my dogs when using the nail clippers and dremmel, her paws were bleeding! This happend two separate times. On another occasion, i took my senior chihuahua to have her glands expressed and told them to please not express her left side as it no longer works from having a previous surgery. She came out profusely bleeding and was having bloody diarrhea in the lobby! She was in so much pain i was livid. Ignored in the lobby until after they close when the appointment was 2 hours before. They have a huge turnover rate of both vets and techs, the new dr is rude and not friendly whatsoever. Please take your animals elsewhere!
