How to Save Money at Vetco Total Care

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.

Very upset that on my follow up visit for my Ruby I was 12 min late and they would not see us. I drove 40 min in traffic when normally it takes me 25 min to get there. I do not like to be late but I did no know an accident would make me late. I will not bring any of my pets or recommend this location. I also plan on canceling my vital care membership.

Got a good impression at first visit. Vet and vet tech and front desk all were pleasant, patient, and knowledgable. When test results from a cyst said possible cancer, I agreed immediately to authorize cyst removal. But the first available surgical date was two months away, and with a possibly aggressive cancer, why wait two months? Two years ago my beloved 5-yr old golden retriever died if lymphoma, 2 months after we found the lump. Communications with Vetco Redlands are not ideal. I had an upcoming appointment with the same vet for a second dog a week away, so I hoped to get my concerns aired then, but Vetco Redlands cancelled that appt and the next open appointment is another two weeks further out. The online scheduling system seems helpful but I got texted to confirm the appointment Vetco cancelled. I get phone calls after using text confirmation and texts after using phone confirmation. Overall assessment, good people in a bad system. I am looking for alternatives.

Had horrible customer service. I booked an appointment for my dog to have his renewal rabies vaccine just called to ask a few questions at the Redlands Petco (vetco). The guy that answered wouldn't let me speak. He was so annoyed that he just gave me a 1877 number to call and didn't even look up my info. Then I called the 1877 they said they are 2 separate things mobile and store. Wouldn't confirm which one was which or my appointment. How is one suppose to pay you over 100 dollars for something your not looking for. I ended up going with a regular vet that did our vaccine the next day and only 28 dollars. I hope your team can learn to be patient and polite to their customers.

I took my dog to Vetco and had a positive experience. I went in as a walk in and I was able to get my pets needs met the same day. The only reason I rated a 4 out of 5 stars is because it was a little pricey. All in all, you get what you pay for and that was top quality care.

Excellent service was given to our pet. We love our Vet Dr Abigail and her staff, they are knowledgeable and loving, we recommend them to anyone who is concerned about their pets health. My Molly suffers from anxiety and she loves her visits and everyone who works here!!
