How to Save Money at Integrative Veterinary Health 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.

I've had awful experiences with multiple vets with my past dog so with my current puppers Nolan, I was determined to find a vet that I could trust and I am so grateful to have found Dr. Woods and his amazing team. Nolan is a little senior pups and Dr. Woods has been taking care of him for over 3 years now. Nolan's health has had it's ups and downs as he's been getting older, and I don't think he would be the spry pup he is today without the care of Dr. Woods. Dr. Woods is thorough and leaves no stone unturned when approaching Nolan's care and treatment. I appreciate the time he takes to patiently talk through all our concerns and questions, making sure we feel confident in every decision with make with him. Every pet deserves a vet like Dr. Woods - you can trust they will get the best care. Thank you, Dr. Woods, Monique, Hannah, Julie and the whole team at Integrative Veterinary Health Center!! Nolan is very grateful :)

I love the alternative medicine aspect and the knowledge. It's really to talk to any in person and unless it's changed recently, you still pull up, drop off your pet, and stay in the car. The in person contact is missing. Otherwise an exceptional office.

We have been visiting Dr Woods and his awesome team for almost 8 years now. His team has taken amazing care of our 3 pups, and I drive up to an hour to this location from south OC. Make sure to get set up for regular visits, because they are pretty busy.

Dr. Woods is an animal lover and cares deeply for his patients and their families! He is up front, honest and understanding of the financial struggle most pet parents face when it comes to making the tough decisions! Dr. Woods never makes you feel as rushed, always treats you as if you are the only patient he needs to talk to and never makes you feel judged!

IVHC came highly recommended to me by my next door neighbor who is a breeder, and family members who have been going to Dr Woods for over a decade. I brought my two Labrador puppies in there together for the first time, and I have to say they are wonderful!!! Very friendly service, and Dr Woods really knows his stuff. A pleasure to speak with him, and he is just great with his patients. Definitely sticking with IVHC!
