How to Save Money at Twin Oaks 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.

My new kitten was sick and I called 4 other places trying to get her in the same day. The doctor here was generous enough to fit her in even though she was completely booked. They took very good care of her, called me to give updates, and pricing was very transparent. Great first experience!!!

I cannot thank the staff at Twin Oaks Animal Hospital enough. I called to see if they could see my dog since our vet said if we wanted to be seen we would have to do a walk in and wait 2-3 hours or they wouldn't have an appointment until 2 weeks. I called Twin Oaks Animal Hospital and they were able to get me in same day. Patience took my phone call and was very nice and welcoming. When I got to the appointment I was welcomed by the staff taken back right away and was able to be in the exam room. Dr. Watanabe was great and explained everything and answered all my questions. Thank you all and glad we have found a new vet for our pooch.

Dr. Weinberg is just the best! We followed her from our vet in Vista where she helped with the diagnoses of our dog with Addison's Disease. She's been there for us with 2 dogs and 2 cats - good times, and bad. She is so thorough and thoughtful. She KNOWS her patients and responds to THEIR needs. If we're sitting on the floor, she's sitting on the floor. We were really lucky to have found her. 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾

I'm a long-time happy client of Dr Weinberg's veterinary practice, trusting her with the care of my pets (2 dogs and a few cats) since 2008 when she was in Vista, and later at Twin Oaks Animal Hospital in San Marcos. Dr Weinberg always has the right diagnosis and fixes my pets up in no time. Besides that, the staff are always friendly and attentive. Also, the many friends that I've referred to Twin Oaks Animal Hospital have been loyal and satisfied customers as well. You will not be disappointed!
