How to Save Money at Animal Care Services
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.

Today I received my dog ashes and I was so surprised and touched by the detailed and the thought that was put into it was very appreciated when I seen the beautiful wood box with a key, paw print, sympathy card and it was packaged beautifully and it was put in a pretty bag it was heart felt. It had a personal touch . Also very affordable as well. Thank you .

I’ve used this facility for boarding. For me they are the best. I’ve taken my three cats in and I know they’re safe, but then also the accommodations are very nice. And it was reasonable. I live a distance away from this area and the vet nearest my home couldn’t take my cat couldn’t even fit Him in. So I called this hospital and I can get him in the same day early afternoon. And I’m grateful for this. I’ve used them before in the past and I have been pleased.

This place used to be a good place to bring your pet and get needs taken. It sadly no longer is. The admin staff is terrible so the terrible customer service. I came in to get my pet checked and we had an appointment but the receptionist was too busy talking about her personal problems with someone else that she told me I had to wait until she was done. Sadly that receptionist is also the one who confirms the appointments. She set up an appointment for my dog and sent me the text for it and put a date that had already passed. On a different day the same receptionist calls me and tells me that I can bring my dog between 8 and 8:30 when I arrive she says she said between 8:30 and 9. And the woman who checks the pets in was very rude. They must have way too many clients to give themselves the luxury to be rude. I will never agin come to this place to bring my dog. If it wasn’t for that I needed her to get fixed that day I would go elsewhere.

Karissa, Groomer...is OUTSTANDING! This Groomer is patient, kind, very sweet and so those ' vibes' are immediately pick up by my dog...who was SOOO relaxed during her grooming appointment! First time in 4 years my dog has NOT fought getting groomed. And, my dog came out so chilled out and happy! Karissa is THE ONLY great groomer in Corona, Norco or Riverside! "Thanks, Karissa!! My little dog is like new!"
