How to Save Money at VIP Veterinary 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.
How Do You Choose the Right Pet Insurance Provider?

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.

Dr. Cisneros is not just a veterinarian; he's an exceptional human being who radiates genuine compassion and profound knowledge. From our very first visit 13 years ago, he has consistently treated us more like family than clients. Our beloved dog, Oby, has thrived under his care, and even in challenging moments, Dr. Cisneros's understanding and expertise have been invaluable. For over a decade, we've been wholeheartedly recommending Dr. Cisneros to our friends, a testament to the unwavering trust and confidence we have in him. If you're seeking a vet who treats your furry family member with the utmost care and professionalism, look no further. Thank you, Dr. Cisneros, for the incredible dedication you've shown to Oby and our family. We are eternally grateful. Familia Bernini & Velozo

I was recommended Dr. Cisneros for my yorkie’s ACL surgery. He is the best. my baby had to stay there for 3 days after surgery and you could tell he was very well taken care of. He was even happy to return back for physical therapy. The surgery went well and it has been 2 weeks since surgery and his progress is wonderful. He walks very good. Thanks to Dr Cisneros and his team!!!

I cannot say enough about this place. Everyone is so friendly, there is rarely a wait and the vets are amazing! I took in my puppy for some shots, and the vet texted me later to ask how pup was doing. I thought that was incredible!

I was referred to Dr. Cisneros for TPLO/MPL Right Rear Orthopedic Surgery after my 70lb staffordshire terrier completely tore her ACL, in addition to having a luxating patella in the same leg. I researched many surgeons in the LA area prior to scheduling and felt confident with Dr. Cisneros, especially since he was so highly recommended by my primary vet. I did read all Yelp and Google reviews regarding VIP Vet Services prior to scheduling, and can't speak to the other vets or individual experiences from other Yelp-ers, but my experience throughout the entire process has been pleasant and professional. It did take a few weeks to get surgery scheduled, but 6 other surgeons I called in the area were booked out even longer. During the initial consult with Dr. Cisneros, he took his time and was very thorough in describing the issues, what surgery would consist of and correct, and what after surgery recovery would involve. Most of the information was not new to me, as I had known the past two years that surgery would be needed at some point for her luxating patella, and joined a FaceBook group that consists of thousands of members that have gone through TPLO surgery to obtain resources and research what that process would involve after she tore her ACL. Dr. Cisneros provided a quote for the surgery including labs, X-rays, a 4 night in-hospital stay (this is standard after TPLO surgery for his patients), take home medications, and 3-4 weekly physical therapy sessions. The Front Office staff was friendly and professional each time I called to schedule appointments or check in (I called everyday during the in-hospital stay after surgery); Dr. Cisneros is very accessible and accommodates fitting me into his schedule to address questions after surgery; the vet assistants were knowledgeable and genuinely cared about my dog; and my final price aligned with the quote I received, which cost significantly less than I would have paid somewhere else. My dog is 11 days post op and doing great, bearing weight on her leg, and can't wait to be able to go hiking again. We have a long journey of recovery ahead, but I'm glad she will have a good quality of life and am extremely satisfied with the knowledge, experience, professionalism, and attentiveness received by Dr. Cisneros and staff. I will note that as a patient during COVID, it's important to be flexible and have patience; phone and in-clinic wait times may be longer. It's also important to be able to differentiate between a true emergency and conditions that do not require immediate treatment. As difficult as it was for me to push surgery out 3 weeks due to the schedule, I've heard stories from many other folks across the U.S. that have had longer delays, and it typically doesn't create additional issues if diet and activity are restricted as recommended by the vet. Apologies this is such a lengthy review, but I wanted to be comprehensive given the significance of this procedure. Pics are first day coming home in the car and first physical therapy session walking out of the clinic.
