How to Save Money at Point Vicente Animal 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.

We have been going to Pt. Vicente since Liberace was a puppy, he is almost 12. Everyone from the doctors to the technicians have been wonderful this whole time! Over the years Libby started suffering from allergies, then colitis, to an irreversible heart condition to occasional "scares." Dr. Micco has been diligent, caring and has gone above and beyond the call of her profession! She is an angel on earth! In her absence, Dr. B has been amazing. Thank you to all those (Dawn, Shawna, James...) that helped Liberace when he was on a "hunger strike" and wouldn't eat...bringing him food from home, hand feeding him. Big hugs and kisses to you all. Thank you for taking care of our dog, as he is our family and loved so much!!!! Marisa Kunich (picture from the day Santa brought him to this past week, feeling much better)

We brought our bunnies Nomi and Sunshine to Dr. Dueppen for a checkup, and she was absolutely outstanding ! She made our little ones feel right at home, and was so informative and reassuring to us (we are new Bunny parents). Point Vicente is our new go-to veterinary hospital for our sweet little buns !

I took Buttercup here the first time she got sick and they saved her life 💙 They took such great care of her this time as well. They also helped me out with Bruno and he’s a big boy. Thank you guys for the help and the patience, great place to take your sick buddy they really care and know what they’re doing.

I have been going here for years, starting with bringing my rats to Dr. Micco. I now bring my two dogs and I am always satisfied after my visits with the care and compassion I am given. If you are looking for a new hospital, give them a try you will not be disappointed.

Pasadena Hospital had quoted me a $140 deposit for just an exam & availability in 5 days. Same-day was $199. Pt Vicente was over double the commute time but for a hedgehog exam, oral meds, topical cream, & nail trimming it was $127 total & a same-day appt was available! Afterwards, we had a beach photo shoot 2 miles away.
